I built something to help your marketing talk back.


Hi, Reader!

Lately, I’ve noticed a pattern in your replies, comments, and clicks - a quiet thread running through nearly everything we talk about:

“I know I should track more, but I don’t know what matters.”

So I built something to help.

It’s called the Metrics That Talk Back Mini-Course - a free mini-course on the five categories of metrics that matter and how to use them to understand what’s actually working in your marketing.

👉 Join the free mini-course here.

This isn’t another analytics tutorial or a list of “shoulds.”

It’s a practical way to start seeing your data as feedback, not judgment - a conversation between you and your audience happening inside your marketing ecosystem.

You’ll learn:

  • The five categories that reveal how your marketing really works
  • Which numbers to focus on for your current season and capacity
  • How to use your data to make simpler, smarter decisions

Each lesson is short, actionable, and written in plain language - no jargon, no dashboards required.

If you’ve ever looked at your analytics and thought, “So what do I actually do with this?” - this is for you.

👉 Learn more about the free mini-course or share it with someone who needs it.

Because your marketing shouldn’t feel like guesswork.

It should talk back.

Here's to building a system that talks back to you!

P.S. It's a free mini-course with one lesson dropped in your inbox per day, designed to take only 10-15 minutes to read and go through the micro-action so you can put what you're learning into practice in your business.
