Community Post Engagement Value Formula

Engagement value is calculated by weighting different interaction types (likes, comments, shares) by their estimated worth, adjusted by post type multiplier.

Engagement Rate = (Likes + Comments + Shares) / Impressions × 100
Value Per Post = (Likes × $0.01 + Comments × $0.25 + Shares × $0.50) × Type Multiplier
Monthly Value = Value Per Post × Posts Per Month
Annual Value = Monthly Value × 12

Comments are weighted higher than likes because they signal deeper engagement and drive more algorithmic visibility. Polls and quizzes receive a type multiplier bonus due to higher interaction rates.
