Analytics: Good News, Bad News
So… I added analytics to my site. Good news: I can finally see who’s watching. Bad news: the answer is… nobody. Them’s the breaks, eh? Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to.
🎯 Analytics: Good News, Bad News
So… I added analytics to my site.
Good news: I can finally see who’s watching. Bad news: the answer is… nobody.
Them’s the breaks, eh? Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to.
The Lonely Dashboard
I get it. Everything you read today is about phishing scams and "don’t click links you don’t know." I’m playing the Google game — which, by the way, is exhausting. And honestly, it feels like there are six different Google Suite accounts you need to sign up for just to find out that your audience is exactly zero people.
But hey, it could be worse: too much traffic too soon sounds stressful. Having to scale before you’re ready would be a much scarier problem than having nobody to manage.
A Tiny Win
Not only did I get analytics running for my site, but I also got it working on another site I’m hosting for a “client” (my cousin, for those keeping score at home). And guess what? She actually reported that somebody placed an order online through the website.
So while nobody is reading my blog, somebody is buying — and that’s the warm, gooey winning feeling I’m chasing.
Where We Go From Here
So I’ll keep building. I’ll keep exploring. And if you’re on the journey with me, let me know. If I get good at this, I’ll know before you tell me — the analytics will tattle on you first.
