Workshop Session
Understanding The Data That Will Help You Be a Better Blogger
These days, there are so many ways to collect an incredible amount of data around our online content efforts, but what’s the use if we don’t know what data we’re looking for or what impact it can have on our blogging strategy? In this session I will take you on what a typical “data dive” looks like for me. Which analytics tools I use, what I look for, the insights I derive and how it helps me to improve my content strategy.
In attending this session you will have a greater understanding of:
- Analytics: How to set up your analytics tools to help you to see the most important data
- Content: what is working well that you could do more of? What isn’t resonating so well and why?
- Audience: who is it who is engaging with your content the most? How can we better understand them and serve them with content that will add value to their lives?
- Promotion: which promotional channels are driving the most high quality traffic? Which channels should we invest more time and energy into? How can we optimise promotional efforts?
