do you worry about this?


"Can you explain this to me? Do I need to worry about this?"
​
​
I get these kinds of emails whenever a client gets sent an automated analytics report (and let me tell you, a lot of tools don't make them easy to understand - looking at you Google Search Console).
​
The reality is most business owners have no idea how to find the metrics that matter.
​
​And often they don't even know what questions they should be asking.
​
​
These days we've got access to more data than we know what to do with - but slogging through it to get easy-to-understand answers can be painful.
​
I'd love to know - what have you always wanted to know, but had no idea where to find the answer? ​
​
A few real-life examples to get you started:

  • How many people who DM'd a trigger word actually turned into clients?
  • What's your customer lifetime value?
  • What's the source of your last 5 sales?
  • Which email actually sold the most?
  • What's your repeat purchase rate?
  • What content actually converts lurkers into buyers?
  • Why have inquiries decreased from last year?

you've got this,
Michelle

p.s. I just launched a new site for Sara Szal MD. Full kit and caboodle soup to nuts transformation (including a huge migration over to Kit*). When I tell you the amount of info I've learned about the human body over the last few months it makes my brain swell. My favorite part of the new digs? The giant resource page with her best-performing articles and free guides.
​
p.p.s. two emojis in the subject line? not my usual style, but I'm testing a statistic I saw floating around threads that adding two to your subject line can increase your open rate by 11%. I'll share next email if that actually worked!
​
​
BTW, need the emoji shortcut on a mac like I did? Press Control + Command + Spacebar to open the Character Viewer and search for your emojis.

I thought I'd come back from my yoga retreat this week all rested and as relaxed as the two resident peeping tom turkeys who loved watching me use the outdoor sauna. The internet had other plans for me. Bear with me, this gets a mite bit technical - and if you've got someone handling your website for you, you'll want to check in with them. Message board chatter this week indicated that a critical PHP security update was due to be released to fix a major vulnerability. Why is this a big deal?...

Bored of hearing how you’re so far behind for not learning this week’s AI trick du jour to edit yapping videos you don't even want to record? Tired of seeing instagram ads that shame you for not creating 137 AI employees to run your business? Same, friend. TBF, this week I used Claude to compile a database of my 100 favorite launch emails for future reference, Perplexity to find updated stats for a revised sales page and ChatGPT to de-escalate pettiness out of a sticky situation email. So I’m...

But few know how to market one.And even fewer know that it's not selling the book that makes you money - but what you do after you've published that "big business card." More on that in later notes.Got a friend in the thick of it (or maybe you're getting ready to launch your own book)?Here's 9 simple things you can do to support a book launch.Some are quick, some take longer, some are free and some cost a bit - all are easy ways to show you...
