Mixing Statistics for Social Media
The New Field
Online reputation is a field that is not very well understood by many people. Most people think that an online reputation is just a curiosity–something people look at when they’re bored and don’t take seriously. However, consider this: If you are considering buying a product from two companies and one of them has a positive online reputation and the other has a severely negative reputation, which company will you be purchasing that product from? You can bet that 99 out of 100 people would choose the company with the more positive online reputation.
Dealing With the Issue
Individuals and companies who find that they have been defamed online, or that negative past results do not accurately reflect the positive present, will sometimes turn to online reputation tools, whether they are for monitoring or repairing their reputation online, for help. There are a wealth of these tools available online, but not all of them are actually effective. Even amongst the tools that are effective, not all of them are cost-effective. In other words, many of them are much more expensive than their utility deserves.
StatsMix As The Solution
One tool that is both cost effective and efficient is StatsMix. The idea behind this tool is to track, chart, and share social media statistics. The monitoring and analysis of social media has become a very important industry as of late as the Internet has risen in importance to the commercial world.
So what is StatsMix? Let’s look to the website itself.
StatsMix is a web-based service that makes it easy to track, chart, and share all your important metrics.
StatsMix is based in Boulder, Colorado and was recently a part of TechStars, a mentorship-driven seed stage accelerator.
About StatsMix
Tom Markiewicz, Derek Scruggs, and Sandy Rich make up the core leadership team at StatsMix. They have created a company that is dynamic and serves the interests of the clients well. They are not obsessed with over-complicating their software. Rather, they try to simplify their software to the point where any client can learn to use it within minutes. This makes StatsMix both functional and cost-effective. With all of the social media monitoring and analysis software out there, it is sometimes hard to differentiate between the software that is actually helpful, and the software that is simply a waste of money and time. StatsMix is the former, as multiple online reviews attest to.
Software Pricing
There are four pricing plans of StatsMix, ranging from “Developer”, which is free but offers only a limited number of features and tools, to “Pro”, which is only $99 per month and gives you full access to the entire software suite. The many tools you can find access to in the Pro plan will help to analyze and quantify any social media situation. Unlike many social media analyzers, there is no long term commitment involved when you pay for StatsMix, you can cancel your contract at any time. It’s a simple matter of paying for the service from month to month, without any longer-term contract. StatsMix is a software company that has met with considerable success because it cares about the needs of the clients first and foremost.
