🤔 What if YOU’re Chasing The Wrong Numbers

Published 2 days 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.

Here’s the truth: If you’re always trying to sell, people stop paying attention. For example, if every post sounds like this: “Buy my $16 template pack!” Try it this way instead: “I remember feeling stuck every week, signing...

🪴 Are YOU Watering Down Your Promise?

I had a friend who started selling wall art and he strongly believed that if he built something great, people would just show up. He launched, waited, and waited some more. Then, after a few months, I asked him how the business was going. He said he just gave up on it. He really started it, and that’s a good thing. But after all that work, it was just…quiet. Too quiet. But what he missed was telling people why they should choose him. In other words, weak positioning. He could have chosen who...

📢 Why YOUR Customers Sell Better Than YOU

A friend once told me they bought a Kindle Paperwhite just because they saw a reel about how it changed someone’s reading habits. It’s not an ad screaming for attention, just a real person sharing their story. That’s the magic of user-generated content, it feels real. When someone sees real stories from real people, they’re more likely to trust and buy. Big brands know this, but it’s even more powerful for small businesses or creators like you. 👉 Ask for simple stories Reach out to your...
