Only The Beginning?
We’ve covered THE most important Google Analytics reports for solopreneurs to routinely monitor their online business success and the health of their website. Many solopreneurs get lost in more advanced data, but at the expense of business-growing time.
For many, you’re best off using any more time (beyond what we’ve covered here) actually creating new site content, posting a super photo to instagram, organizing a special sale for your product(s), etc. In other words, use your time to grow your business.
