I know people (and myself included) say that the numbers don't matter, but that is only kind of true. In actuality the numbers can matter very much... and here is why.
WHY DO THE NUMBERS MATTER?
They show you what's working
Keeping track of your analytics is also keeping track of what content your audience is and is not loving. You want to be noticing the numbers so that you can continue to provide the best type of content for your followers to keep them engaged. It gives you guidance for content curation.
They keep you accountable for your growth

So, don't get OBSESSED with the numbers, but utilizing them properly would allow you to grow your social media more than you think.
