- Probably my favorite feature is the ability to click on any data point on any graph to immediately see a report of everything that happened that day.
For example, I was looking at the daily number of removed fans for my page, and I noticed a spike on a particular day. I clicked on the spike and PageLever showed me a report of everything that happened that day, including where the fans left. They all left via the newsfeed, which suggested to me that I posted too often that day. Sure enough, that same report showed that I’d posted four times that day. Lesson learned.
The speed with which PageLever allowed me to focus in on the spike allowed me to quickly shift from “What happened?” to “Why did it happen?”
- My second favorite feature is seeing how long my posts last in the Facebook newsfeed.
PageLever recently ran a preliminary survey of 20 status updates from five pages that had more than 2 million fans and found the average post lifetime was 22 hours, 51 minutes.
- I appreciate that they give suggestions for what works.
For example, the service tells me that instead of simple status posts, I should ask more open-ended questions. It is easy to dive deeper into which post types are working for you–that is, which receive the highest engagement–so you can post more of that kind of content.

The term “energy revolution” sounds light and airy enough, but how do human beings manage to wrest electricity from the sea? Germany’s largest offshore wind farm, a power plant surrounded by a hostile environment, produces 12 times as much energy as the world’s first nuclear power plant.

Awesome! How To Build a Web Startup
I found an absolutely outstanding post in Steve Blank’s blog, very helpful for any new web entrepreneur. Believe me.
Moreover, this post is aimed at entrepreneurs, but its approach is useful for any field.
It would’ve been very helpful at a conference I attended last Thursday, for instance. It was supposed to teach LinkedIn, but we ended up talking about many tools and most people left the building thinking they’ll never catch up.
One person asked how to choose tools with criterion since you need to know them first and you can’t invest the time. Well, I think an answer with the following approach would have been a good one:
First ingredient: the logical process
How To Build a Web Startup – The Lean LaunchPad Edition
Here’s the step-by-step process we suggest our students use in our Lean LaunchPad classes.
- Set up the logistics to manage your team
- Craft company hypotheses
- Write a value proposition statement that other people understand
- Set up the Website Logistics
- Build a “low-fidelity” web site
- Get customers to the site
- Add the backend code to make the site work
- Test the “problem” with customer data
- Test the “solution” by building the “high-fidelity” website
- Ask for money
Second ingredient: a set of tools to help you at every step.
(Use the Startup Tools Page as the resource for tool choices)
Method: match tools and process steps
Find it on Steve Blank’s post.
This is real value added.
I know what you’re thinking, many of these tools can be used for much more than that. While this is true, the reality is, overfloading people with a bunch of tools with no clear purpose is of no help, it’s rubbish.
