Objective:
Mostly for fun, partly for curiosity, a little bit to learn how my writing works
Procedure:
1) Count up all likes and divide by number of poems
2) List all poems above this average in order of most to least likes
3) Compare and contrast structure, tone, central idea, likes and trends
4) Take amount of likes, divide by number of views and multiply by 100 for success ratings
5) Compare and contrast favorites based on success ratings, likes ratings and your own personal opinion
Analysis:
1) 35 poems, 5 trended (1 out of 7)
2) Average amount of likes: 4.2
3) 9 above average (5 and up)
4) Of 9, I only really like half of them
5) Out of Top 5 Most Liked, 1st-4th trended
6) 7 out of 9 had an “I” or “you” narration
7) 5 out of 9 had a central image or a frame
8) Most Successful Poem: “Not Meant For This” (9.4% viewers liked)
9) My Top 3 Favorites: 1.“The Ghost Girls” 2.“Not Meant for This” 3.“The Jury v The Girl Who Sees”
10) Likes Top 3: 1.“Chasing Curriculum” 2.“Alphabet Addiction” 3.”The Ghost Girls”
11) Success Top 3: 1.“Not Meant For This” 2. “Procrastinate” 3. “Why We, Overthought”
Conclusion:
1) I center a lot of my poems around a powerful image or emotion and a personal narrator
2) Trends increase number of likes and views, but don’t affect the like to view ratio
3) My favorites tend to be much darker and more emotional than the ones other people like
4) This doesn’t take into account tags, collections, sharing, who the reader is, or what a view actually means
5) **At best 1 out of 10 viewers will like; at worst 1 out of 50
Yes, I actually had fun with this :); bold are the things I think matter
