Com/Angela All right onto today’s show What are some online ways to market your business. In the new year, Angela Brown, This is super exciting and I Have with us Ray Malaski from Get Cleaning Clicks, and this is a cleaning company that He started for his wife and then he said, “ Wait a second. I have a knack for the marketing.”, So he did a deep dive into the marketing And he started researching ways that you could get your business to the top of the search.
Engines Then he started looking at different ways: From social media and different ways that you could grow your business and get more Cleaning clicks so he’s back by popular demand. He already did a show for us before it was A rave review and then people are like have him share with us the online ways we can grow. Our business in the new year, Please help me welcome Ray Malaski Ray Malaski. My name is Ray Malaski.
I run a company called Get Cleaning Clicks. Where we specialize in marketing specifically for cleaning businesses and cleaning business Owners and we offer web design social media SEO Google ads all four based around the Cleaning business Angela Brown, One of the reasons I ask you To join us again today, aside from the fact that, back by popular demand, I know that we’re Moving into a new year – and there are lots of cleaning business owners that are starting With a fresh slate – and this is the year they’re going to make a go of it, And so I would like to talk just for a second About any trends that you see any changes what’s happening on the horizon for 2020, because You’ve got a pulse on it.
You do this all day every day and you focus For the cleaning industry, So you’ve got a really good grasp on what We need and what we need to be doing Ray Malaski This year. The huge thing was Google Guarantee or Google Home Services So that’s a whole nother option of paid advertising. It took guys like me out of the equation: Which I’m absolutely okay with? Because this is a great product for cleaning business owners? Who are just getting started? Don’t have the budget to pay? Somebody like me and really Can just dump everything they want into this one source and maximize the potential of That and grow their business with that alone, Angela Brown And tell us a little bit about That What is that Ray Malaski, If you, Google, “ House, cleaning Near me,.
” Or “ House cleaning, your city,.” You’ll, see three boxes at the top of that. Google search and it’ll say “. Google Guarantee.” And it’ll have the client’s reviews on there. From that cleaning business And it’s a program where you sign up for Google They vet you, so they check your insurance. You have to do background checks on the cleaners And then you become kind of their army of cleaners, And you know there could be two cleaning companies In that market There could be 40 cleaning companies in that Market that are all Google guaranteed and it rotates your ads at the very top of Google In these little square boxes with these stars and people click there, They never even go to your website.
It’s all on their own platform. They click there. They decide to reach out To you, they contact you through there and Google only charges you for that phone call. It’s different with Google AdWords, because They charge you for the clicks, Hey, you got this click. It costs you four Bucks, it costs you five bucks, whatever your market is and whatever the keyword is depends. And fluctuates They took all that out of the equation.
You click there. You call them It’s between 19 and $ 21 for that call You’re paying for leads. This is Google’s answer to Home Advisor and Angie’s List and it’s 10 times better than they have ever been for a cleaning business, Angela Brown. So if that’s the new solution, What happens to the Google AdWords Ray Malaski? You have Google Local, then you Have Google Ads right underneath that Still high value still get great results? Still brings in more customers and more ROI for our clients And then below that you have your map pack And then organic So what’s happening is now that Google, Local Came up at the top it pushed AdWords down.
It pushed the map down even further and it Pushed organic down even further, So it’s taking away from that organic traffic! And finding a way to monetize it and make it work for local businesses, which I think This was a great thing for the industry. It’s not something that’s great for me, because You know it’s basically digital marketing without needing a marketing company. Well, one of the things that you just said: Was you will appear in a rotating banner, So I could still do certain things that would Then help my organic search and my Google AdWords, and things like that, so that I can Guarantee that I’m not just number 15 on the rotation list right, Ray Malaski, You can yes, Because those with a lower budget will get Less exposure, obviously – and you could set your budget within there – Let’s say you’re, just starting out brand New business and you’re like okay, I’m going to give this a go.
I’r going to put 300 bucks, as my budget, Google knows compared to the other ones that Put their money in there, Some people are at a thousand some people, Are 1,500, some people are at 2,000 a month, so they know, based on your budget, that your Ad needs to show about this amount of time to maximize that budget. It’s really all about the money in the budget. You set in that campaign how often you show and the level of competition Angela Brown Is there anything that we could Be doing right now that before we jump on that bandwagon and start paying the, I guess Top dollar, so that we can be in the top spot, is there anything that we can be doing that Will help us promote our business moving into 2020? Is it more blogs? Is it more email? Is it less email? Is it more articles? Is there something specific we can do that Can help boost the visibility in our cleaning businesses Ray Malaski To be everywhere, you possibly Can be that your ideal market is at, And where is that I mean it’s all over the place, Some people, it’s the grocery store with flyers.
On the wall and some people, it’s car magnets when you’re driving down the street, The bottom line is, it all depends on your Budget and if you have a lower budget you’re going to have to go with more of those local Kind of efforts Attend the chamber meeting, put the magnets On hang, the flyers work up a couple of recurring customers where you have some kind of revenue and then start spending it on Google, Local Google ads SEO your website.
Facebook, any Other blogs that are out there, Angela Brown, I keep hearing in the online Space consistency: how important is consistency moving through 2020 that you either have the Same ads posted in the same spot, or that you create a blog post every day at a certain Time or every week, at a certain time or whatever, How important is consistency as far as creating A visual in 2020 Ray Malaski Consistency isn’t necessarily How many times you post here or post there, It’s just making sure you are posting there.
You know Instagram, it’s not anything new For the marketing world, but it’s new for small businesses and people are kind of getting Tired of Facebook and all that absorption of over information And Instagram kind of makes that a nice balance. Because it’s image based It kind of takes away that stress of social Media and just make it image based. So at that point we’re talking about branding You’re putting your company out there you’re targeting local customers in your area, So you want to talk geographically about That area 10 best things to do in my city, something That your customer would be interested in Even if you’re not talking about a cleaning.
Service you’re touching them It’s important to make sure that you’re there When they need you Angela Brown, And is that branding that you’re Talking about for Instagram – and I know you also do the Google AdWords and the Facebook Ads and all those kinds of things Is that branding something that you can help. Our listeners with Ray Malaski Yeah, absolutely Here’s the thing. I don’t find that branding Is important until you’re hitting that over 600,000 a year in revenue, Your marketing budget should be seven to eight Percent of gross revenue, If you have that budget, you can pretty much Absorb that all in lead generation, So lead generation being Google Guarantee Google AdWords SEO some people have had some success with Facebook ads That kind of lead generation where you’re Pumping leads into your business.
These people need the service. Now it’s filling your gaps. In your schedule, it’s helping you grow. That kind of thing, Angela Brown So for 2020, then focus more On the lead generation, instead of the branding necessarily Ray Malaski, It all depends on what stage Of what your business is in If you’re under 600,000 – and you have the time Go ahead, post show your business as active on social media, because people want to see That you’re alive, but don’t dedicate a ton of resources to it because there’s other Things that could be more streamlined, take less of your time and still create more revenue.
Now, if you’re at that 600,000 plus a million Plus, absolutely A lot of businesses that I talked to when They are at that point they kind of flatlined They’ve, hit kind of a market saturation where The lead gen has become less effective because they’re so well known, They’ve been out there for so long. It’s not Coming in, like it used to Now, that’s when branding comes important, And now you want to capture that market, that Doesn’t know about you that one that has been using a franchise cleaning service for Five years and now it’s time for you to tell them why you’re better or offer them a better Solution We offer a free strategy session right down.

And I’m going to walk you through how to take a look at where you rank in the Search results and how to generate an SEO report based on your existing Ranking Alright, I’m going to show you one of my favorite tools.
It’s called SEM Rush, I did a bunch of speaking for them and it’s a wonderful organization. They Have a plethora of tools Now I’m going to pop into this, but I don’t want to… And I Don’t want to intimidate you, So I’m also going to show you one thing about this: And then I’ll as you subscribe and read my additional articles I’ll keep diving Into this tool, because it has so many great features, What you’re going to do? Is go to SEMrush.
Com and you’ll, see the screen in front of you Now you’re Going to put your website address in here, So I’m going to go ahead and put my Website then, hit start now Now the trick with this is going to give you ranking. But it’s only going to give you a limited amount, because you don’t have a Paid subscription, I have a paid subscription, so I’m going to go ahead. Now You’ll see here, I can register to get ten free requests.
It is absolutely Worth giving them your email address and setting up a password, so you can go in And really have fun geeking out over this tool, I’m going to go over to my next Tab where I’m already logged in Now, what you’re going to see when you run your Report is I’m just going to come up here to the top, which is the same thing. I just Showed you Ooh, I love the tool I’m showing my geek Okay, Let’s see what’s going on, You know it’s hard because you can subscribe to a Lot of different tools, This one is definitely worth subscribing to The Basic account is $ 99 a month, and that might like get you in the throat a Little bit, But when you see what this tool can do, you’ll be like “.
I want that.” Alright, So we’re going to go back here to findability just on the main screen at The very top – And this is the same thing as the homepage screen as well Now – I’m Going to get a dashboard of all of my ranking, Oh, I love a dashboard, So you’ll See here that I have 557 keywords I currently rank, for. It also tells you Like how many backlinks, So I have almost 2,000 backlinks Backlinks – are when other Sites are linking from their site to my site, And now these are very important.
Because they’re, like one directional endorsements from other people’s Websites back to yours, I like to think of them like a restaurant review, You Have a fabulous dinner and then you go on to like Yelp or some other website. And you endorse that restaurant and how great they are Similar to a backlink is Man, she spoke here. She did this, we love that and then they linked from that Their site back to yours, Which is gold for Google, They love those One-Directional backlinks, So I’ve got a nice backlink profile.
Now we’re going to Come down here, Look at this, So you might think “ Well. Why would anyone from Internationally visit my website?”. Well, you can see here that I have quite an Interesting spread of people who are visiting my site from the US to the UK Canada, Australia, Denmark and Spain in the Netherlands, I guess I’m huge in the Netherlands, It’s only about this much search, so maybe not really huge.
It also Tells you how much people are coming from mobile devices and other, So this Can be very, very telling about? Are you getting reach internationally and not Just by US searches, So I’m going to go in here and I’m going to click top Organic keywords: This is going to give me a master list of all the keywords. That my website currently ranks for, I think, a lot of people don’t even know. These kinds of tools exist And I love.
… I love the data because the power is in The data, If you know how you’re ranking, then you can hold the people who have Said they’re doing SEO for you, You can really hold them to task and make sure They’re actually doing what you’re paying them to do. So, let’s come down. Here You’ll see right now. Let me walk you through what you’re, seeing here So The first one is the exact keyword phrase findability So I ranked number 2 for the word findability.
It’s 52 percent of my total Traffic to my website, So people really love that phrase And it gets 880 Searches per month Now remember that’s one month worth of data and I’ll take That But then you have the times that by 12 to get the full year, which is I don’t Do math in my head, but that’s a lot So 880 is a lot, I’m very happy with that. Phrase And you’ll see here that we’ve got the exact page that ranks for it.
Which is my home page Now, let’s take a take, a look and see what other keywords I currently rank for So SEO. Coaching is the number two keyword that I rank for. I’r in sixth position, So if you think about a search result, Page there’s ten positions on a search result. Page Above the fold means I Haven’t scrolled down yet It’s an old newspaper concept. So if I have a Newspaper folded up above the fold is the newspaper Fold it down.
That’s below The fold Why they use a newspaper reference for an internet search, I have No idea, but here we are So ideally I want to make sure that I’m above the Fold That would be one to five And then 6 is just below the fold. Now. Here’s The scary stats as 86 %, never scroll down they’re just they make a decision right. At the top And then 92 % never go to page 2, They say the best place to bury a Dead body is on page 2 of Google.
So just keep that in mind that if you’re on Page 2, Not really going to be helpful. We want to make sure that you’re on page One So you’ll see SEO coaching, I’m just Slightly below the fold, It gives me 7 % of the total traffic to my Website And people search that phrase 320 times per month. On average, over 12 months, That’s a good keyword for me. I’r ranking For SEO coaching, I could do that all day every day.
That’s my jam. So SEO coaching is definitely where I want to bring. Then we come down of Course, you’re going to always rank for your name, But I love to see that Actually Findability University is not the number one way people are searching. For me, I want to have more people searching for what I do and what I know. And not necessarily for my name, If they’re searching for my name, they Already know me and that’s not helpful, to Findability.
I want to make sure that When people are typing in keyword, phrases that they’re finding me for that, Topic Not necessarily just for my name Now you’ll see Candyland map, You wonder, probably like. Why does she break for that? Well, I have a article in my YouTube. Blog called Customer Journey map, So you might want to check that out because I talked all about how your website and your customer journey is similar to Candyland, Of course, I’m going to rank under my name.
I got a rank, So Heather, let’s see Oprah. I was on Oprah a million years ago. Of course you don’t really ever stop ranking for Oprah keywords, So I’m still On there and then, as you come down, you’ll see all the other phrases I rank. For So SEM rush is absolutely fantastic for giving you keyword data. So let’s Take a peek at websitegrader.Com and it’s w-e-b-s-i-t-e- G-r-a-d-e-r.Com, So What you’re, seeing in front of me right now is the website.
Grader says how Strong is your website, So we’re going to come in here and I’m going to put in my Website Don’t have to give him your email address. Remember they’re, very good. Marketers and you’re going to hit get your answer Now. The cool thing about This tool is that it gives you a very high level, 10,000 feet overview of what Your website looks like to a Google bot. Now I got 84, which is an excellent score.
But there’s always room for improvement. It’s like these little tiny tweaks that You can make So you’ll see here performance, I love a big slider and what I’r not talking about a burger, I’m talking about a website slider. So let me Go to my website and I’ll show you what I mean by that Now some people argue Whether these are a little dated some of them say it’s a dated. I love it. I saw You see here that I’ve got a nice big slider On my homepage, So if I come down here, you’ll see that I have one slider, then I Have my second slider, then I have my third slider and then I have my fourth Slider, okay, Now these are great They’re, very egocentric.
I think a lot of Business owners love these sliders because they can put these beautiful Images on there, However, when we go back to website grader you’ll, see that I’m Getting dinged on this, So performance is: how fast is my website pulling? Is it Slow like taken forever like molasses or is it superfast? Google is a nervous Nellie, Google does not want to wait for the data; They want to make sure that That data is being pulled fast.
Remember that over 40 % of all traffic coming to Google is by mobile devices, So you have to remember. Your website is like this Big, not this big and Google wants that to pull fast, I’m getting dinged on Performance because I love my sliders, So I can always go in there and compress it. See if I can get it to pull quicker, but the next one you’ll see is mobely. Responsive That means I can look at the website this big and I can push it and All the way down to a little tiny screen on a phone, and it still looks great It Should beautifully collapse on itself, Let me show you a trick to test your Website and how it looks on a mobile device.
So I’m going to come back to my Screen and I’m going to go here So when you go over to…, I use Internet…. I use Chrome Any browser will do this. Firefox Safari You’re, going to come over here to the very End of the browser and you’re going to get this little double arrow, then you’re Going to pull it over, Pull it over pull it over. Do you see how it’s collapsing on Itself Then, I’m going to do is you’ll see here that as I go down, Oooh look Everything has neatly stacked on top of each other, and this is so important.
Because your website better look good on a mobile device, There’s how people can Come in and run their own website grader. So if you’d like to come in here, You can run a website grader right here. It comes from SEM rush and it’ll go Right into your inbox, if you like, just to kind of shortcut the whole process, It’s very important, You’ll see here Even my map it had. You know it looked like a Candyland map right it goes all the way down.
Well now that map has been compressed and it goes all the way down. So very Important that you really take a hard look at what is my website look like on A mobile device, Google will absolutely penalize you if your website is not Mobile irresponsive, The next one is SEO Now. This is an incredibly big topic. Clearly, that’s what my expertise is in. However, what it’s looking at is a Keyword, consistency on the homepage Finally, security.
Now I don’t want you to Freak out, if the security says zero out of ten, it means that every page in your Website needs to be HTTPS. That means that every page in your website is Secure One of the reasons this is so important is because lots of people have WordPress websites – Maybe you have a wordpress website. WordPress – is great. It Is easy to use you can you know set it up, you can add new themes, all the time.
It’s a great great platform for a website. However, it has a lot of security. Issues, Do you know some of the number one ways that people save their password Is actually the word password Don’t do that Anything that’s available on Facebook, Your birthday, your dog’s name, your husband’s name, Your anniversary, These are not things you want to use for your passwords. Because people can easily come in and figure out what that password is That’s A no-no We don’t want that, So what we’re going to take a look at is make sure that Https is on every single page of your website, So when Google comes, they see That, Okay, I trust you You have some nice security built in.
How do you get that? Fixed Call your hosting provider Say “. I want to be on a dedicated IP and a Secured server.” Now, I’m sorry for all the geek talk, But it’s so important. You Understand this at a baseline level, A dedicated IP is like a cul-de-sac. You Move into a cul-de-sac, you got a bunch of neighbors on the Cul-de-sac. Hosting companies, cell storage or website hosting and something called an Ip block, Like a cul-de-sac, You have lot of other people that you’re Sharing that block with Now one site could be a porn site, Hopefully not Once I could be banned by Google You’re keeping company with other web Sites that have been penalized by Google – You don’t want that Sharing is not Caring here, So what we need to do is make sure you’re on a dedicated IP Meaning just you on that IP address And then of course, HTTPS You set up your Hosting on a secured server, Very important Just give your hosting company Call Say “, I want a dedicated IP and I want a secured host.
” Very, very important. For your credibility and Trust, So as you go down, I’ve just looked at this whole Area right here, Performance, mobile SEO and security. Now, if you scroll down You’re going to be able to get very specific feedback on how to make these Better, So what I would do is you can come up to this little share button. Right here Top right corner and you can share it on Twitter. You can share it on Facebook or LinkedIn, if you want to Or you can just come up.
.. Here’s my Little kind of hack, So you don’t have to give me your email address and still get The report You come up here in chrome to file and print Now you’re able to get All the goodies from this report, without ever giving him your email address, Woohoo, Try not to give out your email because Trust me, especially with HubSpot: They will never stop emailing, you No matter. How many times you unsubscribe they keep showing up in your inbox.
So remember You Are in control You own, the keys to your website. Kingdom Run SEMrush.Com. Get the keywords you’re currently ranking for and then go to website. Grader And see how you can continue to tune up your website. These elements are So important to Google And they should be important to you.

Okay. Thank you. An are so I’m very glad to see you all today, thanks for being here, and so let’s get started it so the topic of today’s been is Google Analytics how to understand the data correctly. So today we are going to give you an introduction to Google Analytics. We are going to show you how to support the set up goals in Google Analytics, how to understand the principle metrics of Google Analytics and how to integrate webmaster tools and Google Analytics account.
Also, we are going to give you another view of top eight Google Analytics custom reports. These are powerful reports that will be able to give your more insight in short time and will help you on this better understand what is going on with your online business. So, first of all, why should businesses use google analytics, because Google Analytics has such a great amount of data, which shows are virtually every bit of your online marketing campaign? So, by looking at Google Analytics data data, you can find out the big place find out about week places of your online project.
Are you can improve your strategy? You can see what is working on your website and what is not, and, of course, based on this. You can make more well-grounded decisions about the future strategy, so in order to get the most of Google Analytics data, we would advise you to customize the account to your business needs. How can it be done? First of all, you may set up goals in Google Analytics. So what how does Google Analytics consider goals? A goal could be defined is a critical event for your business, which occurs during the user visit on the website, and such critical event should somehow contribute to your generate to your overall income.
Somehow it should help to generate it should help. You generate this income, so in Google Analytics all goals would be divided in four groups: its URL destination, gold diamond side, go pages per visit goal and an event go. So let’s look to them way in detail. The first type of goal is URL destination goal. So let’s take the case are, for example, we are showing you the example from promoter are, so we think that when the visitor, when the user visits the about Us page, it is critical for us, because it shows some kind of user intention to interact with our Company, so how what should we do that we copy this URL and unset and put it into the set in the goal into the goal settings? We want Google Analytics to report in conversion every time when the user visits this page.
So how should we do this? We navigate judging panel in Google Analytics account choose the profile for which you would like to create the goal, and then we in the gold tab. We click, create a goal. Here. We paste this URL. Please stay the attention that we paste. Only this part, which goes up to the delay name and then we may sit up also a value for this goal. A value is set up for non e-commerce goals and if you have any way, if you know any way how you can indirectly to calculate the value of this goal, you can set up it here.
Also, please note that you can set up one URL, exact URL and that will be option equals to you or you can choose to other options. For example, it could be begins with. It means that, after the of up to this about us URL, any other characters could be appended so more variations of URL and the most flexible variant is regular expressions with the regular expressions you can build some patterns of URLs, which could be defined as gold trigger Regular expression is the most flexible, but a little bit tricky part.
So we advise you to read google’s regular expression guide to find out hi to how to make the use of them are so so a little bit more examples of URL destination goals. You can set up as this goal any page in the URL which indicates the process completion. For example, it could be confirmation page when the user has sign up for your email newsletter, or it could be check out page indicating that the user has made has made a purchase and so on.
Now we are moving to the next type offer a goal. Is time on site goal? So let’s take the case or that you have a large content website and you are interested that the visitors stays on your website as much time as possible. Then you can tell Google Analytics to show the conversion when the user stays on the website more, where more than a definite period of time are so you set up more than in the goal, our settings, and then you can track this type of conversions.
There is another situation when this type of goal can be used. For example, it is support customer support web sites in this case website owner is interested that the user gets the answer as quickly as possible, and then he interested that the user spends the list of the top of the time on this side. In this case, he might are set up less than time period of time and track this kind of goal, the next kind of goal, the third one we just brew visit goal.
It slightly reminds us the previous one, because it also can be used to measure user engagement with your website. So, for example, you are interested that the user visits as much pages per visit as possible because in these case he might see as many banner ads boot on your website as possible and you will get more income. So our in this case you set up it. A definite number of pages viewed per visit should trigger a conversion for your website, and now we have come to the last type of goal.
It’s an event goal an event. Called different kinds of event may occur on your website. For example, ebook download it free trial account created software downloaded. In all these cases, you may ask Google Analytics to show the conversion when such event takes place, how to do that. You need to sit up or an event. You need previously to set up what you consider to be in event on your website and then feeling this fills in the goals that are sitting up and event a little bit more challenging than sitting up and other types of Google’s.
So we would advise you to go to the Google Analytics event tracking guide to find out how to do this more in detail. So now we are finished with goals and der how to wait to look for gold completion information actually goal. Completion information is shown in Lenny Lenny reports in Google Analytics, but there is also a separate section which shows specifically this information, so you’re, just on the Left panel of book of your Google Analytics account you navigate to the conversion section select over you a suit and Seal this kind of information, so you can see how many goals on which are for which pages had been completed.
You can see the source, the medial are also information for these metrics and if you click view full report, you can access this kind of information. What is great that you can see the gold value if you, if you set up a value for your goal, for example, as I shown as I showed a gold value for URL destination, and also you can choose secondary dimension, for example, which goal has been visited, Which page has been visited before this? Our goal has been completed.
Why why it is possible? Because in one goal you can set up, you can set up a set of goals, and this said one set of goal may contain several and other goals a little bit more, a little bit smaller goals. So now, when we have set up our goals for our Google Analytics, there is another way how we can customize our account. We can also set up ecommerce tracking, so white. Setting up ecommerce dragon is helpful because it allows you to allows you to track your business outcome.
Of course, you may say that you have special software accounting software, which allows you to do the same thing, but what is great about Google Analytics is that you can associate the revenue you receive with the traffic sources which contributed to this revenue. So with this information, you can answer the question: who gets the credit which sources are worth to invest more and which are not so how does the top ecommerce straighten the first step? You should enable a chemist raking in your profile settings again.
Navigate to admin panel. Choose the profile and then choose profile statuses here you just simply need to state yes and e-commerce website. The step this step number two is to embed Google Analytics tracking code to some page, which contains transaction details. For example, it could be receipt page. The code in this case will look like this. This is a model, a pattern. There are required fields and enough, and some optional fills.
If you take a real life example with real day day about transaction, are the Google Analytics code will be looking something like this? Ah, so after you have set up the e-commerce tracking, you also see the data about about these processes in your Google Analytics account navigate to the conversion section and select ecommerce there. You will be able to see sources of the traffic and revenue which they generate.
It very convenient and very useful. Also you will be able to see. For example, if you look at the products section, you will be able to see quantity sold, unique purchases, product revenue as well as average price. All of these can be again associated with the traffic sources, which is like very, very helpful for your case. Good news that if your website is non ecommerce, you still can track the seal with the help of e-commerce tricking you in this case, you will just need to make a little some little tweaks in Google Analytics code.
You can set up constant value for some required fields, which you do not have in your case and track only the purchase amount. So in this case you will be able to make the use of this fabulous future as well. So after we have customized our google analytics account, we may start to look into the reports. What are the principal metrics and how to understand them. So the first one, the first one is visits visits I used to measure traffic volume, so it is varied.
So that’s why it is a very important metric. Usually, businesses are interested in receiving as high number of target visits to the website as possible. So by measuring visits number visas. Are you can understand how successful your online marketing campaign is? You can compare traffic volume of different periods of time, and you can see which days at the most popular days, are among your site visitors and find out whether your business is seasonal.
All this information could be used for your future marketing strategy and your future marketing steps. So this is how the traffic volume is displayed in Google Analytics by number of daily wheezes pageviews. It’s another Google Analytics metric and it could be defined as an instance of a page being lauded by a browser. It is also the case when a Google Analytics tracking code is executed on your page page.
Yours are helpful. Of course. Are they help to understand how the user is engaged with your website content and how this content is relevant to the user needs very frequently when you will be looking at page views metric, you may also see a unique a geometric. The difference is that just the page geometric, it contains repeated use of a single page, while the unique page view at rukh doesn’t contain this information, only our unique pageviews, so the pitch to use information you can see, for example, in the content section on the left Panel, you navigate to site content all pages and you can see which features of your website receives the most based years, so it it may mean that these pagers give the most relevant information to the users, for example, and you may enhance them more to receive more Resist and also you can find out, which pages receive the list of page views, and probably there is some user, some usability issues on these pages and and you need to improve them more and now.
The last magic which we would like to talk about is traffic sources. Traffic sources is a very, very powerful metric because it’s what you should be looking at if you are running your online marketing campaign, for example, traffic sources is helpful to analyze, oh by comparing different traffic sources, for example um. If you compare a different traffic sources, you can see what I, what is the best performing traffic source, where you can invest more and which traffic source probably is underrated, and also you can see what is working in your marketing campaign and what is not.
So all traffic sources in Google Analytics is divided in three sections. It is direct traffic referrals and search. Are you can see the whole traffic overview in Google Analytics under the indy traffic sources section under overview here? You can see all these sources and which sources has driven the biggest number of visits, for example, and then you may proceed to. I consider the each traffic source separately because it’s very very helpful, so a direct check if it represents visitors who arrived at your website by clicking on the bookmark or by typing the URL directly into their browser.
So this is how the direct traffic report looks like in Google Analytics. It shows landing pages at which users arrived. It shows how many visits there they received as well as number of pages viewed per visit, average visit duration, new visits and bounce rate about bounce rate. Bounce rate is very poor, powerful metric, but we will cover it a little bit more in detail later. So how to type this information with the goals? Conversion simply navigate to advert panel above the chart above the graph and select any of the goals set so, for example, goals at one.
Then you will be able to see that this particular kind of for traffic source contributed to this percent of gold conversion. Then we proceed to the next type of the traffic. It is referral. Traffic referral traffic is very a large part. It may be a very large part of your website traffic, so it’s important to consider it in detail. It includes any of that sources that link to your website. It could be websites with your banner ads.
It could be links from blocks, it could be affiliate program. Links and many many other example, so why it’s useful to measure referral traffic because you can figure out what websites sent you the most traffic? Oh and what landing pages users at what landing pages users arrive when they are sent by this referral by these referrals and also you can find out how users interact with the page content that you show them.
So referrals report could be obtained also in the traffic sources. Section are under referrals, so here you can see. As in our example, you can see different sources of traffic which refer to our website, how many visits they generated and whether these visits were relevant or not. Whether the content, which we show to the user relevant or not to them, we can see with the help of bounce rate, of course, sometimes it might be not to not to see just the domain which referred to your website.
You may also want to see which beach is referred to. Your are to your website. For example, you posted a link or on some 40, and you would like to know not the domain name but exact, the exact URL, which is right to your website, which, which post worked. So it has worked. So in this case, you click on any domain name in the previous chart in the previous table, and you will be taken to so-called referral that they will be seeing on URLs, which directly refer to your website and again, all other metrics.
Witches are relevant to this information search engine traffic. So, if you are, if you are running an ACO campaign or if you are running and paid search campaign, you should be looking exactly at this. Our traffic source search engine traffic is divided in two parts: organic and paid. So if you run, both type of campaigns are be careful to distinguish them to stand, consider them separately so search engine traffic analysis helps to find what our search engines broke.
The best for your case, what keywords send you the most of traffic and also you can compare SEO campaign and ads advertisement campaign. They are effectiveness and see whether it’s what which kind of campaign it’s worth to continue in future, serve search engine traffic overview. You can see it again in the traffic sources section, and here, if you choose traffic type, you can see organic search and paid search and number of visits they generated for your case, which is helpful.
What is great is that you can also view this data by source of by traffic source, for example, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, and so on. You can also see keywords. You can also see the information by the keywords and also by campaign and other metrics just choose any one. You need and see the corresponding information. So now we navigated, we have come to organic traffic overview. Here we can see the traffic report / the keywords by the keywords and how many visits each keyword has driven in our case then pay traffic utter you.
If you would like to see these kind of to analyze this kind of traffic, you simply click on the pay traffic, and here you choose where they campaign medium source or keyword interest. And you can see that how much wizards, how many and weather and weather these visits relevant or not how many visits any of this campaign has driven for your website. So when we are done with this metric, we would like to a brought your attention to the fact that it is important, probably it’s more useful, to integrate webmaster tools account with your Google Analytics account.
So how to do that generally, if you have not set up this kind of integration, are you just you see just this kind of information if you navigate to this section search engine optimization? But if your setup integration, you will be able to see, choir is landing pages, Georgia, field summary and other information another way or another thing why it’s helpful is because you can see google analytics information from webmaster tools account as well, so it’s like very, very convenient.
So how to set up this kind of integration you, for example, you can. Actually, you can do this in two ways you can set up it being through on google in Google Analytics account or you can set up it from your dead master tools, account so i’ll show you i’m going to show you this second way you choose besides name Here your website, none here you click, manage site and select Google Analytics property.
Then you will be taken to this kind of page and you select a web property which you would like to associate with the account. And then you are a dot. Then, if you navigate your search engine, optimization section you see, choir is landing page and geographical summary and other or relevant and useful information about your online project. So now we have come to very interesting part of our presentation.
It’s set up. Eight powerful Google Analytics custom reports, so why do we need custom reports because custom reports? It is our short card which helps you get more actual inside in last time, custom reports. They are more adjusted to your business needs, so it gives you more exact information and help you answer questions which you have specifically. So the report number one is not provided report.
So what is it in a nutshell? There is such an issue with their not provided segment when the user is used when the user is cited with any of Google services and performs a search in Google, the keyword the user is has been using to perform. This church is not showed in Google Analytics. In fact, Google Analytics doesn’t show any kind of information about these users it just aggregates it’s in one segment, not provided, but since are more and more people are using google using google services, and this segment is growing.
It’s vital to understand somehow the behavior of these users, so what sir? So? What online marketers advice to do? In this case, they advise to 2-under to understand this, not provided segments with the help of landing pages. So when what if we understand at which landing pages users arrived from non provided segment, we can see our? What is the user intention when they’d satisfied with the page at which they arrived and also we can? We can suggest the keywords which could have been used by the user are to arrive at this certain page, it’s much more clearer than just have non provided segments.
So how to do this? How to hack this kind of information navigate to admin panel select the profile for which you would like to create. This are kind of filter, select filters and click new filter. Here you need to write the information, something like this. Actually, you can write it exactly how it’s written here, but if it seems to you a little bit overwhelming, we would advise you to read this econsultancy post, which talks more in detail about this kind of report.
So basically, what we are are telling here what we are asking to do here. We are asking Google Analytics to take the URLs at which the user from North provided segments arise every time he is here or he is arriving at our website. So if we are set up this kind of filter, the all the new information about not provided segment will be will be presented like this, for example, in this case, you can see at which landing at what landing pages user arrived.
What was the bounce rate average visit? Duration averaged, I’m on page and other metrics. You can also select secondary dimension and sort this information. The way you want so definitely you in this case you will be able to give mark to get much more insight. Now we are moving on to the second report report number two: it’s branded vs non branded traffic, so it is helpful when we want to receive the effectiveness of our of our promotion for non branded trip for non-branded keywords.
In this case, we want to filter somehow to exclude branded keywords, so how does to do that or just make the use of custom segments? So in this case you need to navigate to advanced segments, click, new custom segments and write the next information. So we hear us can google to include all the data or the data from organic search. We select medium, exactly mention organic, then you want to exclude the information could be not provided segment.
Let’s take this case. We write exclude keyword, exactly matching, not provided, and the last enter we we might want to do is we want to. We want to specify which keywords we are considered as a branded key as branded keywords. So in this case, we select exclude keyword and mention regular expression when we select mention regular expression, because we are using this kind of 5 / which allows us to write all the branded keywords in one rule and simplest state that if any of these keywords occurs, It should be excluded from the organic traffic.
After that we click Save segment and then, in any case or from any count within one google analytics account. You can access this kind of report and apply it. So this is the difference with which we receive when we apply this kind of segment. So, for example, we are looking we’re looking at the traffic’s at the traffic performance number of visits and think like okay, everything goes well our as SEO campaign.
Doing is doing very well okay, but after we have excluded branded keywords from the traffic, we see that, as it appears, traffic is little bit lower that we expected, because our about 30 reasons / days it was they were accounted. They accounted for branded keywords now. Well, let’s consider another report report number three: it’s is it with transactions visit with transactions report is very helpful because you can get a picture of your visitor who are triggers the conversion who buys are on your website or makes or does any a step action, which Is relevant which is critical for your business success? So how can you get this picture of the client? You can see the region from which user has come.
You can see the language which has been used by the visitor browser screen resolution and are the information also with this. With the help of this, with the with this information, you can get an idea of users behavior so, for example, where they proceed further, whether they are satisfied and engaged with your content and so on, so for how to apply this kind of report. In this case, you just need to make the use of standard default.
Google Analytics segments you navigate to advanced segments and choose visits with transactions and click apply, and that’s what you obtain. You see the pie graph, which shows the percentage of you visitors and of returning visitors. You can also see a number of visits correspond its corresponding to each type of language. You can also choose another metric to you. This kind of day data you can see.
You can choose browser operating systems of service provider screen resolution and if you want to get more figures, more data, you just click view full report and you are taken to this kind of table here. You can choose secondary dimension, for example, we we have chosen for our case country and territory, and also you can specify the way you would like to use this data. You may specify that you would like to use it as a chart as a pie graph or as a bar chart.
A report number 4, which might come handy, is most profitable sources of traffic. Most profitable sources of traffic report allows you to see which sources has driven the biggest revenue for your business and where, where is where is the highest return on investment and on which traffic sources? You should focus more in the future? So this kind of report could be set up in the following way: navigate to the traffic sources, section, select all traffic and then click ecommerce.
In this case, you will be able to see this kind of table which shows, in the show source and medium traffic source and medium and e-commerce conversion rate. You can also see the average value which has been generated by each of these traffic sources and the number of transactions select. It’s very helpful if you want to see to rate these kind of sources by any of these metrics, just simply click on the column heading and the information will be put in order, starting from the best reformed sources.
Then – and this is how you can see that if your rate by, for example, ecommerce conversion rate, the best reform source comes first in the Indus in this day, people report number 5 funnel visualization and drops off. Why is this report very useful? Because I? Firstly, let’s: let’s talk a little bit more, what final is final could be divided. Is 0 of steps is a sequence of steps which you expect your user to take on the way to the conversion.
So it’s good. It’s could be compared to little goals. We choose the tab for Google Analytics in Google Analytics and you expect the user to reach all these goals and finally, he may he should reach the final. The biggest goal are for your website. So if you set up our final result, visualization, you may not only see the data, but you can also see be a visual picture of these sir conversion process, and you can see, are these stages on on which users abandoned the conversion conversion path.
The course are, naturally, not all the users they start to convert, they start the purchase and they finish it. Probably there is a button which is not working on your website or some some another kind of usability issue and that’s why they can’t finish complete the purchase. So, with the help of this funnel visualization feature, you will be able to identify this week places so firstly to to get this picture.
You need to set up the fat to set up the funnel you navigate to admin, select the profile and click goals. Then you are set up the funnel, for example. In our case, for example, let’s take the case of promoter users. We perceive that our potential customers contact us via email, but we think that the users might visit this page contact us page before they do before they request called the contact.
So we set up that for this goal. Url destination goal email contact. There might be a step there might be a step when the user visit, then the user visits contact us page. So we write these kind of information. Please note that you can add another steps, and actually there could be a lot of lot more steps which you perceive users should take before they make the conversion before they trigger the conversion and after you have set up the funnel.
You can see these kind of information, this kind of image it could be obtained in the conversion. Section final visualization, as you can see in this example more over 900 people started the conversion, but only for hundred and fifty finished it successfully. So here you can see it and read stitches. They left this conversion process. Then you can check these pages and see whether something is going wrong with its pages report number six bounce rate.
So I have already mentioned several times this powerful metric, and now we are going to give a better overview of this important metric so bounce rate. It is the percent percentage of visits that go only one page and after visit, only one page and on after this page they just exit the site and do not proceed to any other pictures. Bounce rate is used to measure user engagement. How much the extent to which your website content is relevant to the user needs and generally and that’s why? Generally, a high bounce rate is considered as a negative sign, because the visitor is not doesn’t find your website very informative and relevant to their needs, and he just leaves after you in 11 pitch so this kind of metric.
You can see many many reports. For example, you can navigate to the content, section select all peaches, and here you can see bounce rate when you analyze bounce rate, it’s very good to make the use of this a bar chart. For example, we have selected landing pages and then we selected bar chart and what now we see the bounce rate of different pages is compared to this site average. So here we can see that this page performs really bad, and this page is not working as well.
So probably there is some usability issues on this website of these pages and we need to pay more attention to them and of them, and probably there will be the result. So bounce rate is very important metric for usability specialist and is considered very very very often so there is the case when high bounce rate R is not considered as a negative sign. For example, there are, there is a certain group of websites or for which even one hundred percent bounce rate is okay, simply because are the when the user visit decides.
He lands on the first on the page. He used this page here since information, the information they need and then he’ll. He lives completely satisfied. For example, it could be blocks, user have has read the article event lives, so in this case, or you should pay attention so before jumping into a bounce rate analysis. You should think of your website what kind of websites you have and whether high bounce rate is is indeed a negative sign are for, for your online project report number 7 mobile traffic.
Ah, today’s turn, these days when mobile usage is growing with their huger at the huge rate, it’s important to know what is going on with our mobile users, because, as a rule, they are access accessing our website, film, from devices with smaller screens with lower internet speed. So we should, we should definitely analyze this kind of traffic weather weather disk, whether these users have any kind of problems.
So, if your applied mobile traffic report, you can get a clear picture of users who are visiting your website. You can see a screen resolution operating system, browser and other metrics attributed to this source, and also you can increase mobile traffic conversion rate simply by eliminating some problems which which you might are identified during this kind of analysis, so how to set up mobile traffic report Again, navigate to advanced segments and select mobile traffic report, then click apply it’s a default segment which is provided by Google Analytics after you have applied this a report.
We advise you to navigate to the audience and overview here. You can see, for example, the data breakdown by language by country and territory, by operating system by service provider and are the metrics. In other case. We have chosen screen resolution. You want to see where the users experience any kind, any kind of problems when existing from different mobile devices. So, in order to get this kind of information, we click view full report and again we select bar chart so that to computer bounce rate with the site average.
So we see that users with these screen resolutions experience some problems, probably because the bounce rate is is high and that’s why our after we have done this analyst analysis, we might go to our website and test it all on the devices with these resolutions. In order to see whether whether they have any kind of problems – okay and now we have come to the last report for today, this is report number 8, 40.
All errors why we should why we should apply and make the use of these kind of report, because um 404 arrows are bad for your website for two for two main reasons. Firstly, because our users, when they run into the error pages, they they might be, are unsettling, might experience negative, they might receive negative experience and they might leave the site if you don’t, if you don’t present any navigation and hints on how what on what to do Further they they might just leave the website and not come there anymore, and the second reason why it’s bad, because, if you’re, if the number of error pages steadily grows on your website, it is, it is a sign for google and it may decrease the Rankine’s of Your website, because of this technical problem, so to apply this kind of report we are, we advise to make a short card and just make the use of advanced filter.
We are going to apply this filter with the help of the page title, so we need to apply this filter. We need to know the page title we go to the page, arrow page gold find the title copy it and then proceed to the content section here, which is all pagers, and here we select page title so there we receive the breakdown of pages with different page Titles – and this is the die when we are apply the advanced filter.
Here we write that we would like to include information about the pages with the beach title, which contains this this information, and after that we click apply. What do we receive? We receive a report showing us the number of of error pages. We see the dynamic of this. The trend of these pages, as well as we can see the bounce rate, and if we are select secondary dimension, we can see whether the user proceeds to any other pages, for example.
Also, you can see which pictures generated which URLs generated this arrow page in this case, you just need to click on this and you will be able to see all the pictures which the user, typed or clicked on and to received error notice. So this kind of information you can see here with this with the help of this report so now or we have finished with the custom reports, and actually this is all which we would like to tell you today.

So now we have a very bright, yellow title check this out you now we want to teach you how to put a signature right in your your chart, so click on insert and then click signature, we’re going to choose the burn to learn signature and there we Have it we want to cut and paste it in the chart so that it’s properly aligned you next, we want to show you how to give your amazing email, a very professional look, we’re going to add header and footer margin with color.
So, first we go to get a color for it and that’s a nice color that complements our top header. Now we’re going to put a footer in there with another color, and this will be a matching color now. This will really give our amazing looking email. Even a greater look of professionalism, this is fun and easy to do so far. Right, we’ve just got a few more things to do. We want to remove the borders around this email, so we select the whole thing and click on no border and the border lines disappear, and we have an amazing looking professional email ready to be sent all right there.
We have our new email. The next thing we need to do is to send it so, let’s scroll over and hit the send button, it has come through in all of its color, without border lines, with interesting color with the body of it at the right font, size and a good signature. This is an amazing and professional-looking email, one that we should be really proud to send want to. Thank you for listening and in our next tutorial, we’re going to teach you how to fix an email.
That’s stuck in your outbox until then have fun you
I am known as the automation Panda. I love software testing, automation, behavior, driven development and Python. You can follow me on Twitter and my blog at automation, Panda. I like to thank my company for sending me here today. I work at precision lender I’ve been there for just a year as of this week.
Precision lender does applied banking insights and a couple of us will be at PyCon this coming May. So, thank you for sitting lender. Here’s a question for everybody. Raise your hand if you have ever hit a software bug everybody to put your hands up. Okay. Thank you. Great we all we all have experienced a fair bugs. Do we like software, bugs no they’re bad, thus far, they’re bugs that’s why we want to squish them so here’s another question.
Raise your hand if you always test your code, Wow Wow yeah, that’s about what I expect I’ll, give them a sulk a couple times and that’s usually what happens now, I’m not here to do shaming or anything. It’s not bad. There’s there’s reasons it’s okay, but I want us to stop and pause for a moment think time out what why is there just this discrepancy? We know we have all these software bugs, but we’re not always testing our code.
Well. Why is that and, furthermore, why don’t we automate the tests so that they test the code gets tested automatically, so we can spend more time making the code to begin with. This is not an easy question to answer, because there are some tough points we have to face. First of all, especially with test automation like we know deep down, this is something we should do right for small projects. It’s not such a big deal, but for big projects, things at scale, things that are have huge teams working on them.
We have to move fast. We have to move continuously and there’s lots of moving parts as there’s lots of danger areas that things could just break and all those bugs just rush in like cockroaches right. We know that we also don’t have enough time in the day or even in the universe, to test everything manually right. We can’t repeat the full testing of these giant systems over and over again ourselves, there’s just not enough time for that.
We need some solution to do things automatically and that’s where test automation is supposed to help us. Unfortunately, though, we also know the test, automation is hard and that’s one of the barriers of entry of why I think so. Many people didn’t quite raise their hand. When I asked do you always test your code test automation, it’s not an easy thing. I do this day to day. I know firsthand, it’s not easy.
I fight the problems in the test automation every day. It requires strong developer skills, it has its own technologies, it has its own software stack just because you’re, a good developer doesn’t mean you’re necessarily going to be a good test. Automation engineer, because there are certain aspects to that domain that are tricky, and I could. I could spend all day talking about that, but we ultimately, what I want you to recognize is it test.
Automation is not just about writing test scripts test. Automation itself is software and deserves same practices and tools and attention that we give the product code so to speak, and with that in mind, I’ve also from talking a lot of people, different companies and teams. I found that test automation can be intimidating for a lot of folks. Many teams really don’t know how to start. They know they need it.
They know they have bugs, but they don’t know how to to to approach the test. Automation challenge so to speak, and so I see two things happen: either teams will keep punching the football down the core and just keep avoiding test automation altogether and they’ll either skip test coverage or the higher teams just to do manual testing, and that’s not a really Good situation, because that’s not scalable or a lot of times what happens is they’ll try, but because they don’t train themselves appropriately, they don’t get the information they need, they don’t really try or they don’t take the the careful steps to begin with next thing.
You know you’re later they’ve got thousands of tests that are failing every night and they’re not getting value out of them, and they just want to nuke the whole thing and say we wasted time. Let’s start over right: that’s not good, both of those situations not having anything or having stuff. That is detracting from your value very bad, and we hit this moment where we began. What do we do with this? Because we know we need this, but we’re not doing it well and that’s what I’m here to talk about today and in fact I’ve got a little story too to go along with how we can approach the test, automation challenge.
Now I want you to meet a friend of mine, let’s meet someone who can help I’d like you to meet my friend Amanda. The Panda amanda is a software engineer who loves using Python. Amanda works at a company called bamboozled. Yep bamboozle is a small but growing tech company bamboozle provides an online platform for panda commerce as a full-stack developer. Amanda has a good understanding of bamboozles web front-end REST API service layer and infrastructure needs recently bamboozled had a couple severe bugs escaped to production.
Oops egad management decided that was finally time to start automating tests and Amanda volunteered to lead the effort. Since this is the first time she’s done test, automation, Amanda does her homework. She starts learning about different testing types tools and frameworks. However, her web research feels more like a game of buzzword bingo, because there are so many buzzwords when it comes to testing and automation, and everyone seems to give different definitions to the same words.
Anyone have that problem before true story, so like what are the differences between unit integration and to end testing we’re all the packages. I need with this cucumber thing. The selenium webdriver thing: do they work together? They separate from egad, we don’t know, we need help. So Amanda calls her friend Andy. That’s me, software engineer and test there’s so much info out there. Amanda says that I can’t discern what is the right approach to take.
We want to do things right. How do we do it right? Let me ask you a question. Andy says: what is your main goal with testing? What is your main goal? Well, Amanda replies. I guess I want to make sure that the critical parts of the bamboozles app are working correctly. Any time someone introduces a bug test should catch it immediately great. It sounds like you need a functional test, automation, solution, functional test to make sure the features work correctly.
As you said, functional tests serve two main purposes: validating goodness and identifying badness I’d like to share with you to test automation pyramid. Has anybody seen this before some people? Okay, cool? Let’s talk about this, the pyramid is a rough guideline for how to automate how an automation solution should be structured. All layers are functional tests from unit to integration to end-to-end at the bottom, we have unit tests which cover individual units of code like functions, methods and classes.
Unit tests are white box in that they interact with the product code directly they’re, making calls to your functions and classes above that are what we call feature tests which cover blackbox behaviors of real live instances of product under test. So you don’t directly access the code. You access whatever the deployed version of that product is integration, tests cover components or things needs usually like a want to hop.
Maybe a service API and to end tests come a pass through the entire system. Typically, like a user would exercise through the web UI, each layer of the pyramid mitigates risk at its optimal return on investment. That’s why we have the layers. We want a strong foundation of unit tests because they are small, quick, easy to maintain and will catch things very quickly. Integration and especially end-to-end tests are far more costly to build a maintain and they also take more time to run.
I want you all to consider the rule of laws. A unit test would take about one millisecond to run an integration test. Usually it would take about one second to run and an end-to-end test order of magnitude will take about one minute to run so there’s this issue of scale as we go up the pyramid hold on, Annie, Amman Energex. Why do we even need feature tests? They sound like such a burden when compared to unit tests.
I also read that web tests can be flaky with selenium-webdriver Andy replies well hold on now unit tests don’t catch all problems. Here’s an example: back in 1999, NASA lost the Mars climate orbiter when it disintegrated into the Martian atmosphere, h.Y ground-based software did not convert US measurements into the metric system. This is a real story. The calculation modules worked individually, but they did not integrate properly.
Had NASA checked software with proper integration tests, they would not have lost six hundred fifty five million dollars. Wow Amanda explains. I wouldn’t want that to happen to my company. It sounds like I need to take a pyramid approach, so what skills do I need to get started? Mandy smiles, good news. You already have the skills test, automation is software and the same development principles apply just pick a core framework and get rolling.
You may also want to take some online courses about frameworks and test packages that you’ll need check out test automation University, which offers a bunch of courses from testing experts for free, so there’s another question: Amanda asks what test framework should we use? Bamboozle does a lot of Python on the back end, so I looked at frameworks like unit tests, PI test and behave. Python is one of the best languages for test automation and E replies, and you can’t go wrong with PI test.
Pi tests can handle tests at all layers of the pyramid, markers can categorize tests, test functions and fixtures of lightweight and plugins can be added for reports, code coverage and even parallel execution among all Python test frameworks. Pi test is also arguably the most pythonic, though that could be up to debate now. A test automation solution is more than a score framework, though so be cautioned successful automation projects bring together readily available packages, rather than developing everything from scratch.
For example, you may want to use Python standard logging library for logging messages. Requests would be great for testing rest. Ap is selenium, webdriver and splinter would be great for automating web UI interactions, and there are also tons of PI test plug-ins for different frameworks like flask or Django, so be sure to look before you leave to see what packages will be useful for you. I can also recommend a few books to get you started.
I’ts Python testing, with pod tests by Brian Aachen, is an excellent resource on the PI test framework. Also by Bruno Oliveira is high test Quick Start Guide, which is another take on how to get started with PI testing and for general automation. Concerns in Python, hands-on Enterprise, automation, Python by bass. O’ralley is another great resource, so check these books out. If you want to learn more creative, I sandy Amanda says this will help me get started.
So Amanda goes back to the imbecile. It starts ready tests in Python using PI tests. She found it was fairly easy to get started even though she’s new, with test automation. Taking a pyramid approach, she starts by beefing up the existing unit tests and then she moves on to using requests for REST, API testing and selenium webdriver for web UI testing. She puts code in the same repository as the product code so that they can be version controlled together.
However, after writing, a number of tests Amanda discovers some frustrations. She meets up with Andy for bubble tea. To pick his mind, Andy says: how do I avoid duplicating so much test code? So many of these test steps are the same. It’s very repetitive. I just need to make minor tweaks here and there code duplication is code, cancer and it replies. Have you heard about property testing with hypothesis? It could help you with your unit testing.
I thought that this hypothesis automatically runs tests against a wide range of scenarios, so you don’t need to hard code variations also to avoid duplication with feature level tests. Try using gherkin with a PI test, BDD plugin, you can write test scenarios in plain language using given length in scenarios and those will be glued to Python functions that will execute like a test script. Steps can be weary.
Steps can be reused by different scenarios and writing in gherkin. First helps you mentally separate test cases from test code, so you can focus on writing good tests. I’ll definitely check out hypothesis and BD high test. Bdd Amanda says I think there were talks about them at PyCon, 2018. Now here’s another question: how have you handled test data? In the past? My unit tests use PI tests monkey patch fixture to mock data, but I’m struggling to find good ways to manage data for bamboozled systems for black box testing test data is definitely hard to maintain.
Try to keep test data to a minimum for most tests. Data needs are actually pretty small tests should set up and clean up whenever they need, such as database records or custom settings. Some data, however, like user accounts, are expensive to prepare and should be handled outside of the tests and treated as a ready State. It may also be good to periodically set up and regenerate that data to make sure your systems are clean after any unexpected damage could happen.
That makes sense. Samantha says I’ve also been storing inputs like URLs and usernames and local config files, so that they aren’t hard-coded into the test code. Awesome Andy says that’s great. You may also want to consider using some sort of key management service like AWS kms or as your keyboard. That way your passwords will be secure and your config files will not go. Stale Amanda goes back to bamboozle again and she uses what she learned to improve.
Her test automation project, it becomes her full-time work and she transitions unit tests work to other developers, so she can pose focus exclusively on future tests. She does so well that her team keeps asking for more and more tests, despite training other developers, to help write tests. She becomes buried by the backlog. Amanda takes a step back and asks herself what tests should we automate? Her answer is simple.
Automation is expensive, so focus on the highest return on investment. Amanda writes guidelines for her team to avoid getting crushed by an impractical 100 % test automation goal. She recommends automating, happy paths of core features that will be run repeatedly. She also recommends avoiding edge cases, one-off checks and visuals, because those would be much easier for an expert to log in and try manually.
Amanda also recognizes that these are simply guidelines for her team and her project at bamboozle, and they may not necessarily apply universally to all other circumstances. However, even after narrowing the scope of the test to automate the number of tests is still quite large. Amanda’s team has hundreds of future tests that will balloon to thousands in the upcoming year. The service level tests now take about ten minutes to run and web tests take over an hour.
It’s no longer practical for developers to run the tests on their local machine. So Amanda calls a meeting with her friend Auto the Panda another developer at bamboozle and she asks how can we reduce the burden of automating tests or how can we reduce the burden that automating tests puts on our development team? How can we reduce this burden? Auto says it would be really nice if we could run these tests as part of a continuous integration and delivery pipeline.
Then every code change I make as a developer would become automatically tested once it gets pushed. The only problem we still have, then, would be that the tests take a long time to run what if we run the tests in parallel using PI tests, X’test Amman ax asks it could plug directly into our existing framework and parallel testing. Even though we’ll be hard on our laptops would be much easier to scale in a CI environment with shared compute resources, I can make sure that the test code is thread safe and would have no collisions such as web logins and thankfully PI test fixtures can help Us set up and tear down everything cleanly and safely.
If necessary, we could even set up selenium grid to scale our test, automation, execution across multiple nodes, with multiple platforms and multiple browser versions, or we could also look into platform as a service providers such as sauce labs or browser stack auto-replies. That would be awesome. We also need to make sure feature owners are automatically notified of test failures that way they can triage any failures immediately and we get that vast feedback cycle Amanda and Otto team up to make it happen.
Amanda updates the automation code to use pipe test X, test and Otto adds new jobs to their existing Jenkins. Build server for running tests means they also set up a report portal instance to to their test results. Dash board tests now complete in a fraction of the time and developers get failure. Notifications immediately, unfortunately, though, adopting true CI brings unforeseen consequences of scale.
More test runs means more issues are uncovered, while most test runs are fine, some start failing intermittently ouch, and that is one of the classic problems with test automation. There are four common reasons. We see these test failures. It could be that the feature under test has a really tricky bug. It could be. The feature under test was the feature itself was updated without also updating the test code.
It could be the automation didn’t, handle an unexpected condition, such as a timeout or egad. The worst, the automation itself has a buck. None of these, though, are good outcomes. Unfortunately, as well. The failures leave a bad impression on the team. Some of Amanda’s co-workers stopped triaging test failures and they even suggest skipping the tests altogether. A man who doubles down. How can we make tests more reliable? She asks herself first.
She realizes that continuous integration is the production environment for tests and should be treated as such. I’r going to repeat that again: ci is production for test automation. Test code should undergo the same best practices as product code, including coding, standards and review share test framework components should also have unit tests because they’re shared by multiple things. Secondly, Amanda discovers that the most common points of failure are remote calls and race conditions.
She Tunes the framework to have appropriate, timeouts, immediate retries and helpful failure messages when problems arise, she makes it correct what it can and safely abort when it cannot. She also looks into something called contract testing, which uses mocks for services to avoid intermittent Network problems. Third Amanda reaches out to her team members for better collaboration because it starts with the team.
The Institut better processes for flagging feature changes that will affect tests and also for being gracious when failures happen on both sides. As a result of these three improvements, automation becomes more reliable and confidence in the whole test. Solution has been restored by this point. In our story, the automation solution is quite mature. New tests are added every sprints and results provide fast feedback to the development team.
Other developers like auto, join Amanda in automating tests at all layers of pyramid as part of their natural development. Workflow quality becomes centric to the team’s vision, and that is Amanda’s test automation journey. There’s so much more. I could say about all of this. A half-hour slot is just not enough time, but I do want to share some resources if this talk was meaningful to you and you want to go, learn some more.
This is the slide to take the pictures of it’s just disclaimer boom right. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend my blog at automation – Panda, yes, I’m biased towards that one, because it’s mine, I also recommend, checking out test automation University as well as the Ministry of testing the three books and their authors are listed here as well. Those are the ones I mentioned earlier in the slides and at the bottom.
I’ve also listed all different frameworks and packages and such that I recommend it as part of Amanda’s journey, so you can learn more about those and so yeah. Thank you so much for inviting me here to Texas. This is my second time in Austin. If you have any any other questions or want to talk more, please come see me. You know whenever I’ll be here both days, you can reach out to me on Twitter. At automation, Panda, you can contact me through my blog.
Your business you’ve probably sat down your building your marketing strategy of all these new ideas. I want to make sure that you understand the top trends of 2020 that you need to look out for as a business in terms of social media. Marketing and a lot of these are things that we’re looking at for our clients that we’re going to be rolling out.
I want to make sure that you understand them and that you are using them, because these things are going to be huge in 2020. Okay, the first one of these is tick. Tock tick. Tock is super powerful. It’s going to keep growing 20 20 hundreds of millions of users. The organic exposure is unreal. It is Instagram five years ago and we all know how that turned out for people who hopped on five six seven years ago, now’s your chance to do that with tick tock.
It’s a younger demographic, but a that’s great. If your business already targets younger demographics, you’re spot on but B, if your business doesn’t that’s okay, because there’s also an aging demographic coming onto the platform, but the younger demographic is sharing this content with their friends, their family they’re, sharing it on their Instagram and their Facebook as tik-tok allows that, and so it doesn’t matter what you’re targeting forget the age of Emma graphic.
If you can get content content on tick tock in 2020, do it it’s going to be worth it you’ll. Thank me later. Okay, number, two long format. Article continues to hold strong long format, article being 8, 9, 10 minutes plus right YouTube, LinkedIn Facebook, so many more platforms now are allowing this even Instagram as Instagram TV right. They are now allowing series you can upload series of articles.
Like basically TV shows, people are just content, consumption monsters and your business can take advantage of that, create more long format, deep-dive stuff, that’s actually meaningful and valuable. 2020 and you’ll see a huge result from it. Okay, the third one is paid advertising. As you know, Facebook and Instagram have been cutting the organic reach of the business accounts, especially to a ridiculous extent.
It’s almost impossible to reach anyone anymore you’re, not going to grow your business if you’re not paying for advertising period. The platforms are insanely powerful, but you have to pay to get the most out of them. We’re talking Facebook Ads, Instagram, ads story, ads messenger ads. You can even run tik-tok ads by the way through Facebook, which is pretty cool. Okay. The fourth thing is multi-platform strategies right in 2020: it’s all about being every where that doesn’t mean you need to create unique content for every single blog, because who has the time for that? But it means you need a smart strategy where you can produce content once that works for every platform.
That’s what we do here. I basically film like four articles a month and that gives us all of our content for YouTube. Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, emails, everything right! Everything so come up with a great strategy. We figured out. You guys got ta figure it out I’ll. Do a article on my strategy at some point this year and show you what we do here. Number five text. Marketing text marketing is again becoming massive right.
Very powerful, as email, open rates, kind of decline and emails are becoming less responsive text is where it’s at people are still checking these. This is the TV of 2020. This is where everybody’s attention is so, in addition to being on social media. You also want to be in people’s texts right. You want to start building a text database instead of just collecting your customers, emails collect their numbers, so you can text them.
You can market to them where they actually respond, who doesn’t check their phone when it goes ding, and you go oh, what’s that everyone still checks that right now take advantage of it. Okay text marketing there’s a ton of great platforms to look into from the complicated ones like Twilio, which lets you custom code, all kinds of cool things too easy texting, simple texting. I’ve used a bunch of them slick text.
I’ve definitely tested a few. I think we’re using easy text right now or easy texting whatever it’s called, but basically you integrate that into your marketing. Someone opts in through your funnel make sure you get their number put it in this marketing system, so that you can build a database of numbers that you can market to okay, very important in 2020, that you do that partially also because we want to start moving Towards gaining attention on social media, but then as quickly as possible, pulling that off the platform and owning it, because we don’t know what the future holds for a lot of these blogs.
What they’re going to! Let you do what they’re not going to? Let you do you want to use them to get attention for your brand, get names, emails, numbers and then own that so that no matter what happens you still own your own audience, okay, and that’s why it’s very very important texting is going to be crucial in 2020, the last strategy is the last big trend is alternative. Advertising platforms are growing in popularity, so things like ways like Spotify.
Those are huge ways is great because it’s great for local marketing. If you’re in a tucked away spot people drive by they, don’t see you you’re a restaurant you’re, a golf club you’re, something that people actually become into a retailer Waze make sure that as people drive by you pop up on the map, every single time, that’s crucial Right now that everyone is using Waze on their phone as they drive, you want to make sure you’re coming up and that you’re visible and it’s still relatively cheap and easy to use.
So I recommend it as well as other platforms like Spotify. Definitely look into that. These are all platforms they’re now allowing advertising that can bring some diversity to your digital marketing strategy and it doesn’t hurt to test they’re working well. We have seen and worked with clients using it, but definitely recommend trying it out. For yourself, I’m not saying it’s going to work, it’s just a trend, that’s happening! More people are jumping on board, so that’s my big six things coming up for 2020 will definitely be diving deeper into these, as I come out with more articles every single week, but that’s all you need to know for now.
If you’ve any questions drop. A comment below – let me know you think about this. Do you agree? Are these the trends or we on the right track, and how is your business going to be implementing these in 2020? I want to hear about it. So don’t forget to leave us a like. A comment and subscribe, we do drop a new article every single week and if you want to learn more about my social media marketing agency, you can visit soot, social @, ww, social, calm and I’ll see you in the next article

So what is Django well Django is a web development framework that saves you time and makes web development a joy using Django. You can build and maintain high-quality web applications with minimal fuss, and we are all going to do that on the Raspberry Pi.
The Raspberry Pi is a tiny computer with enough power to run a Django development server. So here we’re going to attempt installing and deploying our first Django project on the Raspberry Pi and maybe develop a web application on later articles. You may be asking why don’t we just build a web application from scratch without a framework? Well, there will come a time when your application would be needing to connect to a database, and you would end up duplicating your database connection code to other parts of your application.
The practical way is to refactor it into a reusable function. Another problem you’ll encounter is you have to remember to close your database every time and you will end up with a lot of boilerplate code that is prone to mistakes. Your application may not be reusable in a different environment because of some environments, specific configuration. And lastly, if a web designer, who has no experience in coding, wants to redesign the page, he or she might crash the application, because, ideally the logic of the page or the retrieval of information from the database would be separate from the presentation which is the HTML Display of the page, these problems are precisely what a web framework intends to solve.
I’r sure some of you are already familiar with the MVC design pattern or Model View controller design pattern for beginners MVC, like what I mentioned earlier, is a django architecture that separates the logic, the model and the controller from the presentation. The view in django it’s more like an mtv or model template view design pattern. Don’t worry about that now, we’ll get more into that later.
In the meantime, let’s go ahead and install django on the raspberry pi. Okay, so I have here a freshly installed raspbian, which is the official operating system of the raspberry pi. What we’re going to do here is to open up a terminal and install virtual ends, which stands for a virtual environment. To put it simply, virtual environment is an isolated working copy of Python, which allows you to work on a specific project without worry of affecting other projects.
So let’s go ahead and install virtual end, but before we do that, let’s update our package lists by typing sudo. Apt-Get update and when it’s done updating we can go ahead and type in sudo, apt-get install virtual end hit enter, and in my computer, my or my raspberry pi, it’s already been installed. Now that we have our virtual environment installed. We can now create our virtual environment directory that we are going to use for our project to do that.
We just type virtual end dot. Then P, slash user, slash bin, slash Python 3. What this code does is. It makes a hidden directory called vent because in Linux beginning your directory name with the dot, makes that directory hidden and the dash B is an option. You pass virtual environment on what version of Python you want to use. In this case, we want to use Python 3 inside slash user USR, slash bin now hit enter, and when it’s done, if you type LS la you would see that it created our project directory as expected to use it.
We just type source that Ven slash bin. Slash activate you will see our prompt has changed, indicating that we are now in our isolated Python environment. We just type the activate to go back to our regular, prompt and escape our isolated Python environment. We can now install django. There are other ways to install django, but for simplicity, we’ll use pip to install the latest version of django available from PI P or the Python package index repository to do that.
We just type pip, install django and hit enter to test Jiang, the Django installation. You just start up a Python, interactive interpreter by typing Python, and if the installation was successful, we should be able to import Django and check its version. Okay. Moving on, we can now take our first step into creating our first project. A project is a collection of settings for an instance of Django, including database configuration Django, specific options and application specific settings.
So let’s exit our Python shell and type sy, Django admin, the PI or just Django admin, start project. Then the name of our project, which we’ll just name my site for now then hit enter okay. So it says that my site directory already exists just going to delete, delete it for now and make another one. So I’m just going to repeat the command Django admin that I start project my site and then hit enter.
What the start project command does is it creates a directory containing six files? Okay, there we are my site, which is the outer. My site directory is just a container for our project. It name doesn’t matter to Jango, you can rename it to anything. You like manage that PI py is a command line utility that lets you interact with this Jango project in various ways. Type Python manage that hi-oh. We just have to change into the directory first and type Python manage that py help to get a feel for what it can do.
Okay, so here are your options now you should never have to edit this file. It’s created in this directory purely for convenience. Okay, so let’s go back to files that were created. Oh now, it has added a few more files, but we’ll just go over on the basic files that we are concerned about. The next is the inner my site directory. It is the actual Python package for your project and we have our ini’ that py, it’s an empty file required for python to treat the my site directory as a package example a group of python modules – and we also have our settings that pi, which is the Settings configuration for this Django project take a look at it to get an idea of the types of settings available along with their default values.
Okay, so we’ll just skip that for now and we have our URL stat pot, the URLs that PI for this Django project is the table of contents of your jungle powered site. Next. Is we have our WSGI pi an entry point for WSGI compatible web servers to serve your project? And lastly, we have Ras GI that pipe as well as WSGI Jango also supports deploying on a SGI which is the emerging python standard for a synchronous, web servers and applications.
Now to see our barebone application in action. Let’s run the server by changing into the directory of our project, CD, my site and type the command that slash manage, that pi run server the run server launches the built-in django development server, which is a lightweight web server that we can use while developing our site. We will receive a warning message in red telling us we have unapplied migrations welljust.
We will just ignore that for now. Okay, now, if we open up our browser and go to HTTP colon, slash slash 127.0.0.1 colin 8000, which is the IP address that stands for home on port 8000 and if everything goes well, then we’ll see that it works by default. The run server command starts the development server on port 8000, listening only for local connections. If you want to change the server sport, pass it a command-line argument like so so, let’s just ctrl C and run our command again run server and we want to run it on port 8080.
So that’s how you change the port? Ok! So now we will access it here on port 8080. If you want other computers on your local network to be able to view your Django site by visiting your IP address in their web browsers, then you type manage that slash manage that pie run server. 0.0.0.0. 8000. Well, that’s all we have for now in this tutorial. If you have any questions or comments, please post it in the comment section below down below and I’ll do my best to answer them.

This is a very nice thick variety. We got. We’ve got a little bit of it before and some of the patches we’ve harvested, but this right here gets you a nice thick gel. This will multiply it very well when you guys big, so you guys got to try this out also, if you want to make a very thick smoothie, you just add this in there and you only need a little handful to make some good, ah gel from that.
So this gives you a lot of return right here: okay, again about to spread this knowledge to you ball, because, first of all, grand rising good morning. It’s a boy, Scott Brown here back with another article, and today’s article is going to be very, very special because I’m going to be talking about a lot of knowledge and giving you guys with them to better your overall healthy lifestyle. Alright, so I’m here for you all and I’m just happy to spread this knowledge to you guys on YouTube and you know, share the articles and supporting me on this journey.
Alright, so let’s talk about it, so this is going to be a article about CMOS, and this is not my first article about CMOS. You already know I love CMOS. You know, though, especially coming from the west indies, jamaican big yourself be done. No Irish moss vamanos. Whatever you want to call it, I’m going to say anything else. If you don’t know about seeing more CMOS has over 90 % essential minerals for the human body.
Can this really go for thyroid and health skin health, hair health increase the sexual drive? You know so you can wrap up some things for both men and women, so increase the natural libido of both men and women. Alright. So it’s a lot of healing properties when it comes to CMOS, but I’ve been in some corruption and as far as the CMOS industry goes – and I want to talk about it, because it’s only right that I give you guys quality content and to talk about things.
Like this all right, so you had two types of CMOS: what crafted CMOS, which is crafted from mother nature now tempered by man whatsoever, you know, will let mother nature run its course. What practice emotions is high quality. Then you have farm CMOS which in is part in a pool, a pool where you go swimming and things like that. It’s what I’m going to pull, which is definitely tempered by man, not wobbly, crafted at all.
So this is a very low policy of CMOS and with it becoming low quality, it increases the quantity because it’s a lot of CMOS out there on the market. Alright. So today’s article is all about telling the difference and let you guys know the information between wildcraft, the CMOS and farm CMOS, the riddle versus the fake high quality versus low party. I really feel like it’s very important, to show you this information right because we’re always here to learn and to teach one another.
So without further ado, let’s sit down and let’s have a conversation about it. Let’s go I’m a people. So now we are stealing and let’s have a conversation. So, first of all, as you can see, I have two types of CMOS have two types of CMOS. I have one half the CMOS and then I have farmed CMOS, and the most important thing is that you want to access of these three questions. Where do you get your CMOS from the quality of the CMOS and the characteristics of the CMOS? So this article I’m going to break it down step by step, alright, so the first one we want to tackle this way in your CMOS, because you can see most for dirt cheap on Amazon, from Alibaba from all the types of things.
Alright, all types of different websites – you can get it dirt cheap and for us we’re looking at quality over quantity, you can get CMOS and one of those health food stores. You know, and the most important thing you have. The eyes is where you getting the signal. Strong, if you ask some clerk like hey, you know where’s, the steam was coming from and you can’t answer it or give you a straight answer.
Then most likely it is fun. Alright. So there’s no like direct origin from anything that just must have got it. For my third-party distributor and say alright, let’s tell it, but then you have people who you ask these questions to, especially if you go to like finally, an echo. If you check them out on Instagram, you can actually see them going into the ocean. The fresh piracy laws we’re driving for he just came out.
You know about Iran daddy thing to get mother. They just get with the CMOS, so they’re actually going out there and getting it Wild Wild Kratts, CMOS, there’s not being tampered by men or not being in a pool in this unnatural habitat all right. So, while crafted definitely higher quality, so access stuff – where are you getting your CMOS from? Are you getting it for much on the trusted provider or you get it from somebody that you know that has accountability somebody’s going to tell the truth or just somebody that wants to make a quick buck off for you all right, so we’re all about quality over Quantity episode where you get your CMOS, so the second thing that you need to understand we’re telling the difference between wild crafted and form CMOS is to correct the risks of the sequence.
Now, as you can see here this, this is to Tennessee. What’s on my table right and I have said before, crap one is well crafted and one is fine. Now, while crafted CMOS, it’s dry, it looks like thin, very thin, noodles, very thin, noodles and also not so much salt on it bare minimum. The great ancestor doctor say she also said that Seymour shouldn’t have that much salt on it. Little to no salts. All right now see right here, I’m going to do a close-up, don’t worry, you got ta, see it and then right here I got this.
So this is what it is. I got ta see most fun fighter beginning and then this thing was right here I got from a local store, I’m not going to name a store, but I got from the local store. So with this theme, was it’s highly salted highly highly salted? Now that tells me that this is a farm crack, the CMAs because of the highest salt content, most likely they put on a higher dinosaur to preserve it, and this is definitely not Mother Nature way of doing things.
This is definitely you don’t touch my men and you can just tell by the characteristics of it. So that’s something that you need to arm also access off and also wonder about now. The third thing is the actual buildup of the sea. Bumps. Now I’m going back to how the sea must look, there’s many different species of sea moss itself but, like I said before, were crafted barely any salt on it, and also you could look at it.
It’s very thin. It’s very thin. It doesn’t have that salty sea smell it’s because it’s drying out signals are supposed to be dried out. Alright. Now here, which is the farmed, the farm CMOS it’s very thick if it looks like the CMOS, is very unusually thick, then most likely its form CMOS and also going back to the high salt content. It should not be as salty at all. I know it comes from the sea, but most people they try to provide that salt to preserve it.
So you want to stay away from farm crafty, CMOS quality of a positive you get in more with walk crafted, because this is letting mother nature, but its course. While this one is being speed up this, this one’s being sped up, people will just want to make some quick money. People do not understand the importance of it. Yes, nine percent essential minerals for the human body, but you want the max amount of minerals for a wrestle like I said, before: quality over quantity and yeah guys.
This is the official guide to understanding wild crafted verses from craft the seamless. Alright. It’s all these three questions where you getting the CMOS the characteristics of the CMOS and the properties of the CMOS, because we only want the best and the best for our people. Alright. So, like I said before, if you’re looking for some wild crafted CMOS, please final vegan ENCOM use my cold bernhard 20 did a nice discount.
It’s important stuff brown here great comment like share subscribe and yeah man share this article with somebody who wants to find out the difference between wild crafted versus farm CMOS. Alright, so jump bless pic of yourself.
Alright, now, the reason why I Kind of like came up with this idea to shoot this article is because I’ve had a number of friends. Actually, personally, text me reached Out to me – and so I kind of wanted to maybe make this as like a little help for them As they’re going through and growing their business they’re all in different businesses.
So this could work if you know you’re real estate. You know on a marketing agency – Oh my god, Friends got want to start a Golf Channel, Another friend, that’s in network marketing. There’s there’s all these different things and it all is pretty consistent when you’re going through and building up your business on social media right now. Now, I’m just so you guys, if you guys, are brand new to the blog.
My name is Jason Wardrop And I use these exact strategies yesterday, mated twenty thousand dollars in just one day, I’ll, actually I’ll, throw a little Screenshot right here. Something like that. So you guys can actually believe me see that it’s real There’s, no exact strategies that I’ve gone through and used, And the cool thing is. I was just talking with a friend the other day actually, and we were talking about how, Like I started, diving into this stuff less than two years ago.
Okay, so it’s not like it takes you a whole lifetime. Let you go if you’re a doctor you’re going to go and get to spend eight to ten years in school, And then you kind of like hit a cap of what you can really go through and make, whereas with social media. Since you can reach so many people, you there’s not really a cap on your income or learning, And you could do it fairly quickly. Alright, But there’s a few core things that you need to know as we go through and break this down so step number one guys I’ll try to write it fairly big, so you guys can see this and excuse my my terrible handwriting here, but number one is Gain a Skill okay, so let me just hit this really quick guys, So many people – this is bugs me and I know it bugs a lot of people They go.
They try to be the fake expert because, like being an expert, is Big nowadays, because it’s like oh you’re, the expert go launch a course and make all this money. Well, if you don’t have any credibility or authority No-one’s going to go trust you and you’re going to make like Pennies compared to like what you really could make now, if you think about it, If you guys are familiar with Gary Vaynerchuk, which I’m sure so you Guys are, he is a big-time businessman.
He’s got millions of followers on all the different social media platforms, But the interesting thing is: if you guys go, look at the beginning of his career And when he first started out, he started out with a company called Wine Library, or it was called a Wine Library, TV Right, he start out with a YouTube blog and would shoot a article every single day to go through and propel His wine business.
He was selling wine out of his dad’s little shop And he went through it, took him to the Internet And then I think they sold that company for like 60 million dollars right. So You got ta gain a skill and ideally that skill is something that you’re passionate about right like so when my friends, He just texts me yesterday is like hey man. I want to start an Instagram page on our Instagram profile on golf he’s, a big-time golfer He’s super good at golf.
He’s in all these big-time tournaments He’s, like you know, how would I go through and do this, and so that’s the nice thing he’s got a skill, Whereas I’ve got other friends who they want to go through. They want to create the big social media following, But there’s no one, there’s no backstory to them like I’ve got another friend. He is called the bucket list. Family They’ve got, I think, close to million followers.
Now He’s got a cool story, He went started an app and sold a snapchat anyway, We were in the same business school together and we were having a few classes together, But what he did instead of going through and getting like that, necessarily like that skill, He Built a story around his profile right where it’s like: hey He’s taking his family, He sold everything all their belongings And then they’re traveling, all around the world and now they’re getting sponsorships and cool deals and stuff like that.
So he’s got a story behind it, whereas most people you’re going to need to have some type of skill set like You know, Gary Vee he went in and he started just like going through and Evaluating wines right or you need to go through, learn Facebook Ads. If you want to start a marketing agency Or you’ve got to get some, I got an another friend. He sells courses on Amazon, okay Or he sells stuff on Amazon.
He build a course around that and now his personal brands blown up. So We got to gain a skill guys that that’s number one, If not then you’re going to be kind of built on like a deck of cards. Okay, go on deck of cards, alright, So the second thing is going through, and this is this part number two is really what I think you guys here for is building a personal brand Okay, so I started about a year and a half ago marking two real Estate agents right and I’ve kind of become the known as The guy okay he’s the the real estate Legion marketing guy and all that stuff.
So I’ve worked with now a few thousand real estate agents, helping them generate leads Market. The business go and I’ll grow. That and now I’m kind of starting to help other people Create their own marketing agency right. So I’ve gone through and I’ve kind of built that personal brand – and it didn’t happen overnight and like with Gary Vaynerchuk, Didn’t happen overnight. He was for years doing that that daily show and just working – And he wasn’t like necessarily just like in the branding kind of comes with it right.
So when you’re going through and you’re building your personal brand, It’s key to pick the right platform. Where you know your users are going to be okay, so Bit my bigger, if like, if you guys, are reading this on YouTube, Which you are cuz, I’m shooting it for my youtube blog. You see, I probably have like a thousand subscribers, which is pretty miniscule Right. That’s not not that big on Facebook, I have about 30,000 followers.
Okay, which is you know it’s getting up there. It’s not like a huge falling, But it’s a decent size And the reason why I build it up on on Facebook is because there’s a lot of real estate agents. A lot of mortgage brokers a lot of real estate brokers on Facebook, more so than are on YouTube. Okay, and so I went through – and I built my personal brand on Facebook, But then, like my buddy, he wants to go through and build his.
He wants to build his Instagram account right so, depending on your business, You got to know your target market and know where they hang out, like, for example, And one friend I was telling you about who’s got. He sells on Amazon, well, Amazon, crypto Shopify, all that stuff. That’s super Hot, on YouTube right! So, if you’re going to go through and connect with other people, you got to make sure you’re using the right Platform where you know like snapchat.
It’s going to be a different following Instagram different following, whereas like Facebook, now You used to be all like kind of the younger generation and now none of the younger. I got some of the younger brothers and none of them are ever on Facebook. It’s kind of like: oh, that’s, not cool anymore. That’s for old people right, so you got to pick your right Platform is you’re going through a building and guys Like I could go through and we could hit different strategies on how to build on Instagram YouTube.
Facebook. All these different platforms, But there’s like there’s a million other articles out there on how to do each one of those specifically and there’s guys that, like they Specialize in that one platform, all right, so we’re not going to hit that in today’s article. I just want to cover a few these key concepts so that you can have a kind of core basic Understanding of some things that you should probably put in place When you’re going through and building up your social media following alright, then the third thing is Okay.
This is key to you: got ta have some type of product product to Sell. Okay. Now this obviously the whole idea behind all of this is that you can go through and make money For your business or make money just for life in general right. So You know some people might be starting to be like well Jase, I’m not in for the money. Well, Let’s get real at the end of day. At some point you are going to be right, you’re not going to want to spend all your time.
Game is skill, build a personal brand and then make no money whatsoever, okay, so the Products this could be a number of different things, so it could be a digital online course. Okay, It could be a software, it could be a physical good, Okay like, for example, Logan Paul. He sells like his maverick merges his t-shirts awesome. I don’t know how much she’s going to be selling now that that u2 is basically banning him or doing some crazy stuff there.
But you got to have a product to sell or like, for example, You know my buddy that wants to start the Instagram account for a golf okay. He can maybe have a training on how to go through and improve your putt or your chip shot Or you drive whatever it is. I don’t I don’t golf something all the different terms, or he could do some type of affiliate deals With links to Amazon. Where he’s saying hey, I recommend this driver.
This driver is awesome, It’s great to use, and then he get a little affiliate cut where you don’t have to manage any of the product, the shipping any of that stuff and That super beneficial, where you’re probably not going to make as much money. If it’s you just going to feel They attack the product, if you have your own products, you’re going to make a lot more money, But that’s another way to kind of like have that hands-free business more of the lifestyle type of business right.
So This is he right here guys because, yes, you can go through and make money from YouTube ad revenue. Yes, you can go make money from like brands and sponsorships and all that stuff, But honestly that type of money that you can make is like Pennies compared to. If you have your own product right. So I know people that they’ve got tens of thousands of followers. They’ve got hundreds of thousands of followers and They don’t make a ton of money because they don’t have this core back end product nailed down completely Okay.
So you got to think about Okay, If you have 10,000 followers or 30,000 or 100,000. What? What kind of like that niche right like what? What is that following based on and what would be something that they’d all be interested in? Maybe you could make like you know some t-shirts, like a community type t-shirt like Logan Paul at the Maverick brand like a. I mention a little bit earlier Or you know Gary Vaynerchuk.
He had the wine that he was going through and selling, so He went through gain a skill set. He was really knowledgeable up about wines: Okay, Build a personal brand around wine initially, And then he had the product to sell on the back end. Okay, now one core thing guys! I want you guys. I really want to stress this big-time gaining this skill. Okay, if you do not have a skill right now, No worries, okay, like so that’s kind of where I found myself about two years ago I was, I was doing a startup And I was like can’t.
I know I know some digital marketing stuff and all that stuff. But let’s say my startup completely tanked and everything just went to crap and I had to start over completely from scratch Or, let’s say even worse, like I had actually get a job right like happy for me, That would be like the worst thing on the planet. So what I thought was like man, You know I’m pretty good at like some of the social media mark and stuff, But kind of just been dabbling like I know SEO a little bit.
I know a little bit of the YouTube stuff. I know a little bit of all these things. I was like if I really knew how to go, sell on webinars buy really new Facebook Ads buy really new email marketing like I’d. Had these core skill sets that It served not only me, but you know every like a lot of other businesses. Okay, So I went through and I spent probably the next. I don’t know six and nine months going through and hammering that down really learning that skillset guys.
Believe me, It wasn’t easy but, as I mentioned guys, yesterday made twenty thousand dollars in just one day. So if you think about that, that was like less than two years ago that I took a step back was like man. I need a skill set. Okay, So if I can tell you, hey, go get a skill set nail it down and then in two years You could potentially be making five grand a day or ten grand a day or twenty grand a day Or I’ve got some buddies that are doing.
Like fifty to sixty grand a day, Okay, which is insane like I want, I want to get to that level like that’s crazy right, so anyway, guys. These are some kind of basic tips as far as how to get started With social media for beginners. If you really wanted to build a business around it, I highly Recommend gaining some type of skill set right Like get something where you either know a lot about a topic like whether it could be.
You know wine like Gary Vaynerchuk. It could be accounting finance marketing. Whatever it might be like or you know, tan or J Fox Talked a little bit about him on the blog before he knows how to sell on Amazon, right Or other guys to know how to sell on Shopify or, like my skill set was. I knew how to generate leads For real estate agents really well and now you know mortgage brokers and kind of like branch, that off from off that okay, Then I went through and after I kind of got that core base of like okay, these guys, I’m generating These form having great crazy success stories.
This is awesome. I can now go build my personal brand around it, and Now I’ve got a product to sell where we bill out of software. I have trainings, I have coaching’s all that stuff And then there’s easy, even things like little fingers of pieces that I can build off of that where it’s like now. I’ve got my core training teaching Real stages. How to generate leads on our software, and now I got a whole different training Teaching mortgage brokers.
How to generate leads on the software, because they’re so closely related right and now I’ve got a third training of teaching digital marketers right, like maybe you might be a digital, marketer or marketing agency right and teaching them. They go, get real estate, Clients and mortgage clients. Now I’m just I just started that a month ago, because a year year and a half ago, Yes, I was getting clients, But I wasn’t like getting him on a super consider how to go through, and I had to gain that skillset.
First, I had to like make a get a better foundation on that, And so once I built that solve foundation – and you know I think today so yesterday we did twenty thousand, and I think today, We’ve already had like 50 to 60 new signups or something like That on our software, So it’s like, I feel like I’ve – got that skill set got that nailed down where I Feel confident where it’s not like the blind leading the blind.
I know how to lead people to be able to say: hey, you want to generate real estate, leads and And go get real estate, clients and market for them and get paid a monthly commission for your marketing services. On that, Here’s exactly how to do that! Here’s like the légion campaigns, Here’s how to go through get more people organically. So anyway, It’s kind of a proven process. But, as I mentioned it’s taken time, so what I would suggest, if you’re completely starting from scratch Right now, you don’t have a skill set.
Take the next six months, KS January 2018 January 11th, I think, or twelve things, twelve Okay, so January 12 2018. Take it till set it to the goal. Okay, say by June You’re going to Have a solid skill set, whether it’s you know hey, you know how to generate leads or Forfor. Like you know, some type of business owner real stay Insurance whatever or you Know how to like golf or you know how to you’re really knowledgeable about wine or some topic and then once you do that, Go through And you’re helping people right, you’re getting some excuse.
Some testimonials experience, basically that credibility. That authority Then go start building your personal brand around it on the platform that that complements whatever niche You’re going after and then create some type of product to sell to the masses, And that’s the beauty about social media right like instead of back in the day When you could only reach your local real estate Agents like we’ve, got agents all across the United States and Canada And we’ve now, I think they were pretty close to 3,000 agents that have been on our platform and using our Training and all stuff which, which is Crazy right, like I, would have never been able to do that probably 20-30 years ago, But now I can do that because we’ve got social media.
