🤔 What if YOU’re Chasing The Wrong Numbers

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

I remember when I tried to watch website visits, followers, email opens, and Pinterest saves… It was just too much.

Yes, I tried to grow them all, looking at all of them.

But it’s not the right way.

The people at Morning Brew (yes, the daily email newsletter that delivers business and tech news has grown to over 4 million subscribers) did the right thing at that time.

They picked one number to focus on. That’s how they grew.

Trying to watch every metric only leaves you tired and confused.

If you’re just starting, one good number is all you need.

Here’s how you can do it:

➡️ Pick the one thing you want to improve this month. It could be website visitors, sales, replies, or even how many people message you on social.

➡️ Write that number down. Track it every week. I use Notion a lot for this kind of work, but you could use a notebook or even your phone notes.

Anyway, if you want to learn about top marketing skills for beginners, don’t forget to read this simple guide.

➡️ When your number is stuck or drops, change one thing. Maybe update your product page, try a new headline, or ask for feedback. See what happens next week.

➡️ Once you feel confident with that one metric, add another. No need to rush.

You’ll get better results by focusing on less, not more.

Stay curious,

Minosh.

⚡ YOU’re Not Giving People a Way In

You’re scrolling like usual. A video stops you for a second. Right there under it, you see buttons like “Remix”, “Use this Sound”, or “Use this template”. You’ve seen that a hundred times by now. That’s not random. Platforms push those buttons because they want people to take part, not just watch. That’s when it became clear, posting by itself doesn’t work like it used to. They reward participation. Google even points out that younger audiences want to take part and remix content, not just...

🧠 Price Isn’t the Only Trigger

Last week, I almost bought a Type-C charging cable online. Then I paused and read the reviews. Not the “it works” reviews. The “what this brand stands for” ones. I wasn’t comparing prices anymore. I was checking if this was a brand I felt okay buying from. That small moment reminded me of something research keeps showing in 2025 and heading into 2026: people are buying with their values, not just their wallets. This isn’t only about being “nice” or “ethical”. It’s about trust. And trust turns...

🧠 Influencer Marketing Didn’t Die

Happy New Year. Feels like nothing slowed down after COVID. Anyway, back to the internet being the internet. Last week, I saw someone saying on Facebook, “Influencer marketing is dead.” Is it? Two scrolls later, I read a story on Business Insider that Unilever told its teams to work with 20 times more creators, not as a test, but as a main plan. Big brands don’t scale stuff like that for fun. They do it because it sells. Yes, influencer or creator marketing didn’t die. It got more serious....
