I’m an internet marketer and the number one rule for profits is tracking. With tracking you know where your traffic comes from, what works and what doesn’t. It really is essential. Or else, you’re just shooting in the dark..

We use analytic tools and are always trying to measure data to help us make better decisions. At the same time, we try to think out of the box and look at non-traditional factors that may influence our business.

I think you make good points in the article. Planning is crucial to every business. You also need to measure and track your progress just to see how far you’ve come along, as well as identify your strengths and weaknesses as guides for improvement on your business.

I completely agree with your article. It’s impossible to run an online business without knowing your expenses and where your traffic is coming from.

The ideal business sells the world, rather than a single neighborhood
or even a single city or state. In other words, it has an unlimited global
market (and today this is more important than ever, since world markets
have now opened up to an extent unparalleled in my lifetime).

Very true, too many small business owners just muddle along hoping for the best. If you’re in business for yourself it’s all to easy to fall into that trap. Small business, large business, it’s all the same – we need a plan to succeed. Thanks for the reminder.

I couldn’t agree more. Measuring your metrics, has got to be one of the top 5 most important things an entrepreneur should be doing. Because without knowing your metrics, nothing can improve, hence you cannot grow your business without analyzing data. I’ve been doing this since I work full-time online. Good reminder for the newer folks

Without tracking, you’ll never know what kind of return you are truly getting on your time and effort.So many business owners don’t do this its amazing.

Everyone has different standards and ways to measure themselves. Maybe they choose a way to measure that makes them look better than they really are. Good article.

Online marketing gives us the chance to track such a great amount of information about our efforts. We have to take advantage of this opportunity, else we will just be wasting money.

I am guilty of this one. I don’t track my business activities, too. Thanks for posting this. Now I realized I don’t have specific goals for my business. I should be more vigilant with my business activities starting now. Thanks!
