Guest Post by Bobby Owsinski on Music 3.0When we think online audience engagement, we usually think of views or streams. There’s a lot more to it than that though, as this infographic from Statista shows how industry insiders evaluate true engagement.As you can see, Shares are the #1 most valuable engagement element, closely followed by the actual amount of time users dwell on a piece. The number of comments is also high on the list, but page views and page visitors less so, mostly because many can be quick bounces that leave after a few seconds.The whole idea is to post content that makes users want to watch or read all the way through, then share with their friends and maybe even leave a comment.
