đ¤ What if YOUâre Chasing The Wrong Numbers
|
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 itâs 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. Thatâs how they grew. Trying to watch every metric only leaves you tired and confused. If youâre just starting, one good number is all you need.Hereâs how you can do it: âĄď¸ 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. âĄď¸ 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, donât forget to read this simple guide. âĄď¸ 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. âĄď¸ Once you feel confident with that one metric, add another. No need to rush. Youâll get better results by focusing on less, not more. Stay curious, Minosh. â |

Every channel should help guide one person on one clear path. Start with the first click, build up trust step by step, and...
You sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens. So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a...
Let me tell you a secret I wish I knew at the start: When youâre building something online, talking to âeveryoneâ is a waste. Like trying to light a fire with wet matches. No spark, no flame, just effort wasted. What I mean is, you put out content after content, post on almost every social media profile, create countless Pinterest pins, and feel like nobodyâs caring. Most people do this, and it feels safe for a while, but the truth is it just gets you nowhere. And finally, yes, you just give...
