How to Turn Website Data into Insights You Can Actually Use
Download MP3I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).
I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.
My guest in this episode is Adam Greco, a web analytics expert who has worked for companies such as Omniture and Salesforce.

Adam is a prominent member of the web analytics community and he gives us a practical guide to analytics you can start implementing in your business or project right away.
