💡 Key Concepts Explained
- Return on Investment (ROI): A percentage that shows how much profit you made for every euro invested. An ROI of 100% means you doubled your investment. A negative ROI means you lost money.
- Opportunity Cost of Time: The potential benefit you miss out on when choosing one alternative over another. In this case, the time you spend on social media could have been spent on other income-generating activities. Assigning a monetary value to it is crucial for a true ROI calculation.
- Vanity Metrics vs. Profitability Metrics: Likes, shares, and followers are "vanity metrics" - they look good but don't guarantee profit. ROI and Profit/Loss are "profitability metrics" - they tell you the financial health of your marketing efforts.
