What is a blog and how does it differ from a website?
http://www.wikihow.com/Tell-the-Difference-Between-Blogs-and-Websites
Sometimes its hard to tell what is blog vs. what is a blogging platform (ie: WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, etc.).
If the purpose of a page is to share one’s personal or business thoughts, consider it a blog for the purpose of this
assessment.

Executive Education2. Video Influence (SocialBlade)
➢ Use on the YouTube Channel url. Note: if you do not yet have a
channel, enter 0) ➢ Note: Newly registered channels on SocialBlade may take a week or two before
they are indexed by SB.
Grade to assign
Point Score Notes
1 D- Grade OR NO YouTube Channel
2 D or D+ Grade
3 C, C+ or C- Grade
4 B, B+ or B- Grade

©WebMetricsGuru INC 2018
Note: Many students are puzzled when they are not able to generate a grade on
their YouTube channel. For smaller and new channels indexing occurs once the
initial search is done on SocialBlade, then takes a week or so, before the channel
is added to their index.
Executive Education
➢ Note: SocialBlade has data on Instagram and Twitch which might be useful to
explore when students are active on that channel.

Your SSI measures how effective you are at establishing your professional brand, finding
the right people, engaging with insights, and building strong relationships on LinkedIn.

Executive EducationSummaryUse this guide to fill out your Online Assessment for Assessment 1 in section 1, your student workbook and the Final Project.
Note: At this time we do not have a good way to evaluate all the online channels that we study in this course as we depend entirely on free third-party public APIs of platform tool vendors.
As these third-party vendors are periodically changing their terms of service (TOS), and occasionally, going out of business, or being acquired by another company, we occasionally have to substitute some of the tools being used in this assessment – even in mid-semester.
However, the alternative would be to provide data collection and analysis with a new platform that is beyond our means to build or support.
