Hello Everyone,
I am George Pierce. Analytics were some of my least favorite things about Internet Marketing when I was new. My stats were dismal, I was not good at Internet Marketing, and no one is when they are just beginning, so stats or analytics were not only boring, but they also served to remind me of how bad I was doing.
What I did not know was that analytics is like having an assistant that can tell you what is right, as well as what is wrong. Yes, if you are like I was they may be telling a story that you do not want to be reminded of, but they also can tell you exactly what is NOT working. They can tell you exactly what is working. That is what this post is about.
In my opinion, my biggest obstacle as a newbie was not knowing what was wrong. I was not making any money, so I knew that something was wrong, but I did not know what it was. I knew my Internet Marketing was broken, and I did not know how to fix it, and to make things worse, I had no clue as to what it was that needed fixing. I believe that most, or all newbies, can relate to this predicament.
Analytics To The RESCUE!
Although analytics cannot tell you how to fix things, if you know what it is that is wrong, so you can fix it. If you do not know how to fix it, you can search for a solution and apply it. Analytics also tells you what you are doing right so that you can...DO MORE OF IT.
The above snapshot is from the analytics of a new YT channel of mine. Notice that below the graph, the traffic sources are showing that 79.5% of the traffic for this video is coming from external sources. Those external sources happen to be only one source and that source is FB. In other words, the analytics are telling me that FB has sent 47 viewers to this video already.
Ms. Analytics is saying "HEY, look at this! FB is sending you a lot of traffic for this video!"
And when Ms. "Angelytics" tells me something, hopefully, I am going to listen.
When she says "Hey, here is something that you are doing right.", I am supposed to do what? Exactly, DO MORE OF IT.
Above is a snapshot of new FB groups, relative to the niche, that I have just joined. I will be sharing on more FB Groups.
About Joining FB Groups
Do NOT join more groups that you can interact with. Social media, FB groups included, are social and that means that you sincerely need to interact as well as post. If you only post, you are actually SPAMMING the social site and your posts will get little to no attention. On the other hand, by interacting your posts will get attention, such as above.
If you are not familiar with joining FB Groups, search for groups that are relative to your niche, join several, interact and post.
FB will keep track of all the Groups that you have joined. Click on the Groups icon, as you see above, and all your Groups will show up on the left.
When you make a post, if you do it manually, then, since you are already there, be sure to interact, then go on to the next Group.
You can post the same image or video to each Group, but NOT the same text. The same text will be considered 'duplicate content' and your posts will be deleted by FB as SPAM.
If you post automatically, be sure to visit your groups and interact. Do this on a schedule that is consistent with your posting. In other words, if you post weekly or daily, interact weekly or daily.
Ms. Angelytics is waiting to tell you what you need to know. Do not avoid her as I did, it will delay your progress.
Thanks for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

Is Ms. Angelytics a real tool or did your creative genius help you to come up with the name.
Yes we all need to review our analytics. Thank you for sharing about analytics and how important it is to know this. Your results are amazing and so is your content and IM training.
It was Devilytics at first. YT analytics are priceless, instant, and they are free. Thank you, Terri. I try to look at least weekly, and being a throwback to P&L statements, have been trained to make monthly in-depth analysis a habit.
