Workflow
Have one.
Make better handouts
Tip of the day
Store resources in a central location
Document your process
Test your tutorials
Use semantic file names
Have a solid Plan B
Write down your goals
“Can you show me?” vs.
“Will you do it for me?”
Metrics
Do your metrics. Seriously.
Create a metrics “key”
Share your metrics
Metrics need to compare “apples” to “apples” over time
Clicks + growth
Analytics out of context are
worthless data points
Metrics will tell you which projects are no longer a good
use of your time
Questions?
