1. Terms in Social Media Marketing
For the first category, we will explore what are the terms that often exist in social media marketing below in full.
Cost Per Action (CPA)
First, there is Cost Per Action or what is usually abbreviated as CPA. This term can be interpreted where later a publisher will get a commission when the targeted user performs an action (action). That's why it's called Cost Per Action (CPA). What's the action? It all comes back again and can vary, for example, you can register on the landing page, fill out forms, register for something, buy products and much more.
Cost Per Action is considered to be one of the best ways to earn income easily and practically on the internet. Because the commissions obtained are diverse and large. The commission you can get from this CPA varies from $ 0.01 to $50, you know!
Cost Per Impression (CPI)
This Cost Per Impression (CPI) refers to the rate that the advertiser (advertiser) has agreed to pay per 1,000 views of a particular ad. Surely you often see pop-out ads scattered online. Now, impression in CPM means the display of advertisements to the user when viewing a web page, which contains several advertisements. So, one view of this page will usually produce one view (impressions) for each ad displayed on this web page.
CPM is no longer a secret to be one of the benchmark metrics to measure how successful and calculate the relative cost of advertising campaigns on a given platform. With this CPM matrix, advertisers can more easily compare the costs of advertising campaigns in various media in order to reach several potential buyers with different locations through this.
Lookalike Audiences
Lookalike audiences is a term that is also often used. This is one way to target users (social media users) according to their demographics and interests that are similar to the users you already have. This method is considered very effective for finding your potential customers. This can be considered as custom audiences, because it can create specific targets for advertising on social media. We can also save time compared to traditional target advertising.
Click Through Rate (CTR)
You may have wondered, "Where do you get money from online advertising? Is there a way to calculate it, isn't there?" Well, this Click Through Rate answers everything, guys.
Click-through rate (CTR) can be spelled out as the number of visitors who clicked on links to your website pages that came from viewing other website pages. Starting from email to online advertising. This CTR is usually used to measure the success rate of online advertising or marketing. This success rate can be seen from the ratio, the higher the CTR or click-through rate, the more successful the ad will be.
From this CTR level, it is very helpful for digital advertisers to measure the success of their online marketing. This can be used in various media, such as advertisements in email, and also search engines. This is where digital advertisers can learn which ones are successful and which ones are not.
If we mentioned above that there is a CPI based on per impression (seen by visitors), the CTR is per click, if visitors only see ad impressions without clicking, it means that the ad is less successful in bringing visitors to the website page.
Engagement Rate
Engagement rates are always present on every social media, from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram to Blogs. This engagement rate is how many comments, shares and likes you can get from the post on social media. The higher the engagement rate (engagement) the better your content will be, which will be interesting and good for SEO.
With a high engagement rate, you have so many benefits for business sales. You can also guess by looking at response data and visitor statistics on your content and business, you know. This method can also see whether the strategies and content used are successful or whether this online marketing strategy has not been effective.

- The recipient's inbox is full
- Their email server is down or under repair
- Email file that is too big
Some email APIs will keep trying to send to this email a few more times before giving up. If the soft bounce continues, the API will eventually remove the email address from the list.
2. Hard Bounce
A hard bounce is an email that fails to deliver for a permanent reason, such as an invalid recipient address (either because the domain name is incorrect, not authentic, or the recipient is unknown)
Another reason could be that the e-mail address being addressed to is incorrect or cannot be recognized.
Open Rate
When you send out an email marketing campaign, do you want to know if it's successful or not? But, how do you measure it?
The answer is to use a matrix! The first matrix that gives an indication of success is the Open Rate, the percentage of the number of times the email campaign has been opened by the recipient of the total number of subscribers.
People look at their email open rate to determine how successful their email marketing strategy is. This helps to understand which aspects of the email strategy are inappropriate and which require review.
Click Through Rate

This email click through rate is calculated from the number of customers who have clicked on at least one link in your business email marketing campaign.
