How to Turn Your Analytics into a Money-Making Machine

In this video interview, conversion expert Bryan Eisenberg offers three tips that can help your online business improve its bottom line. He recommends that you:

  1. Create a prioritized to-do list regularly
  2. Segment your analytics data
  3. Always be testing to improve results.

How Big is Your Club?

Let me tell you a story about having the right club to achieve success in your business.

A hunter walking through the jungle found a huge dead rhino with a pigmy standing beside it.
Amazed, he asked: “Did you kill that?”

“Yes,” said the pigmy.

The hunter asked “How could a little bloke like you kill a huge beast like that?”
Said the pigmy: “I killed it with my club.”

“That’s incredible,” said the hunter, “How big is your club?”

The pigmy replied: “There are about 60 of us.”

While a cute story, there’s a lot of truth to it. You need a big club to make your business successful. By club, I mean a group of people that are willing to help you in your business, while you help them in theirs.

By “helping you” I don’t mean you buy their product and they buy yours. I’m talking about people you can share ideas with, talk about what has worked for you and what doesn’t work.

This is especially true if you are running your business online. You need to find others who are doing the same thing so that you can learn from their mistakes, and more importantly, so you can share what works.

I’ve been a member of a couple groups like this for the last year and have seen a big increase in my online income. Good groups do cost something to join, but the two I belong to don’t cost that much. In fact, since I got in at the start, I pay less than $25.00 a month in membership fees. I assure you that they more than pay for themselves.

At this point, neither of them is taking new members but I’ve heard they may reopen next month. If they do, I’ll post about it so if you are interested you can get in.
