Using Analytics to Optimize

1. Identify Top Performers

Find your winning strategies by checking conversion rates by code, focusing efforts on high-converters, and replicating successful approaches.

Example Insight: "YouTube code has 56% conversion rate vs. Twitter's 27%. Create more YouTube content and repurpose Twitter effort."

2. Spot Opportunities

Find areas for improvement by analyzing where people drop off in your funnel:

  • ⚠️ High clicks, low sign-ups: Improve value proposition on landing page
  • ⚠️ High sign-ups, low conversions: Improve onboarding experience or add follow-up

3. Test and Iterate

Run data-driven experiments with A/B testing:

Code A

"Build apps 10x faster with AI"

Code B

"AI agents that code for you"

Track performance of each, use winner, iterate on loser.

4. Time Your Efforts

Optimize timing by checking time-based analytics, posting during peak conversion times, and scheduling content strategically.

Example Insight: "Most conversions happen 3-5 days after sign-up. Create day-3 follow-up content to push conversions."

5. Set and Track Goals

Use your dashboard for goal management:

Monthly Goal Example:

  • Target: 15 conversions this month
  • Current: 8 conversions (12 days in)
  • Pace: On track (need 7 more in 18 days)
  • Action: Continue current strategy ✓
