Torn Asunder Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 For what its worth, Heart actually does a reasonable job on twitter. At present we have around 11,400 followers. Someone like Ryan Taylor at Newcastle in the EPL has 90K. Id like to see a push from core supporters to get our numbers up. If you have access to twitter, follow Heart. If you don't have access to twitter, think about getting it, and then follow Heart. Encourage as many people as possible to jump on board and whenever Heart tweet something that appeals, re-tweet. The more followers the more potential supporters and ultimately, more potential members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluka Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Melbourne Heart have actually quite a good following on social media, it's a shame that it hasn't reflected the crowds. Facebook.

Newcastle Jets - 5,713 Western Sydney followers will increase dramatically over the next few years so they'll be one of the top followed clubs on social media. Melbourne Heart have done well given only three seasons since our inaugural match, the more followers the more exposure of our club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biancorosso7 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Deluka, those figures are great, but they don't show anything other than the amount of times one button has been pressed. For example, Fox Sports, Fox Football, The B League, all the presenters, have hit "Like" or "Follow" for the use ability to follow the Club's use of that platform.

MPM Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I think one of the reasons we have relatively high social media followers is that a lot of them are Victory trolls and as we know Victory have a huge following themselves. And to anyone who doesn't have it, I'd recommend making a Twitter account - Twitter > Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Would rather put time/effort in convincing people to sign up and become a member. Agreed. The people we need to target are those who have disposable income, not the limited demographic that looks at the anti-social media. 4m population in Melbourne. A few thousand have clicked a 'like' button that costs them nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 ...anyone with a smart phone can access twitter. It is the fastest way currently to get info out to the masses and can link to internet pages / facebook, youtube, etc. If you doubt it's power and capability in terms of benefits for a football club, try it for a bit and follow, say, Liverpool FC.
