Week 14 Part A: What We Learn From Google Analytics

Google Analytics is an incredibly useful program that can be used to grow your business. There are so many features within that allow you to track important data in regards to your website and social media profiles. Personally, I would use the analytics to track the specific engagement from my audience to determine which types of posts they react to best and and how often they are sharing my posts. That is incredibly important to me so that I can continue to deliver content that they find good enough to share with their friends and family. 

I am also able to track how many new users I am getting and how many I am retaining or losing. I would also like to know when and through which methods they are finding me and subscribing to my page. This is important to know so that I can schedule my posts for specific times and where I need to direct my marketing. Of course we want to target our audience when they are awake and online so knowing those times is crucial to my business development. 

Another key feature would be Google's ability to show me the demographics of my visitors. This is excellent so I can create content directed towards each market segment. My marketing depends on just who my audience is and where they are from so this feature might be one of the most useful.

Being able to use the monetization feature is also a plus, so I can see how many purchases are made through my website. It shows which items are being viewed and added to the shopping cart. Just another great feature I can use to boost my sales and better understand my audience.

Week 9 Part A

Depending on the type of business you have, your blog, social media, website, etc. will be specific to such, making it different from another type of business' blog.  However, regardless of what type of business you have, adding elements of personal touch in your blog can really work well to capture your audience. The goal of advertising and blogging is to connect with your audience. And how do you make connection? You use emotion, humor, relatable content, this all helps to get the person to remember you and hopefully become a customer. No matter your business, you can always find a way to add a personal touch. It may not connect with everyone, but you'll gain a few new followers or customers with the extra effort. I really believe there is always room to add a personal touch in a post no matter the topic or the business. Of course you want to get to the underlying point, which is "Buy my product or service." which I really don't think you can be successful at wi...

Week 9 Part B Using Categories

Categories on a blog are a great way to group together different posts in order for readers to more easily find what they are looking for. They help to organize your blog site into broad groups which can then be broken down further into sub categories. I think this is a great idea to keep the page looking clean and easily navigable. Having these categories also helps to make sure your posts are staying relevant to your industry. Since my business is cookies I would have a category for Flavors. Perhaps I would use this category to discuss new recipes, customer favorites, holiday and seasonal flavors etc. Another category could be Local Events where I would discuss the events our company would be attending or which farmers markets we would be selling. I could also use this category for posts to talk about other businesses in the area.  Because my business was started with a family recipe, I like to keep my business with a "close to home" feel. For this reason I could have a thi...

Week 1 Blog Post.

As I sit here trying to figure out how to use this website, I find myself changing the themes over and over to try and get it the way I feel will be the easiest for me and everyone to navigate. I want it to be clear with the most recent blog post showing at the top. I chose this because I didn't want you to have to click on something in order to start reading the post.  The original theme I had chosen was titled "Tasty Treats" and looked like it would be a good layout for dessert recipes, photos of food, etc. I chose that because I thought it would be fitting since I have my own business, a cookie company. But since this blog is just for our class I changed it. I also didn't like how it was set up. I wrote out my whole blog post and then after publishing I went to look at it and realized I didn't like the layout.  So I have now chosen this one based on the initial structure. I also like the colors and feel they fit the vibe I am going for. Hopefully this will be c...
