168. Stop Obsessing Over Vanity Metrics and Start Tracking What Pays the Bills


Listen Later

I’m all for data-driven decisions, but tracking every download and view? Hard pass. In this episode, I’m breaking down why digital product sellers and service providers don’t need to obsess over endless content stats and what to focus on instead to actually move the needle. We’ll explore the difference between vanity metrics and meaningful engagement, the handful of numbers I track (surprise: not subscriber count), and how simplifying led me to better sales. Plus, you’ll walk away with one simple action step to identify the only metric that matters most for your business right now. If you’re ready to ditch the spreadsheet overload and make real connections with your audience, this one’s for you!

00:42 – The real purpose your content serves if you’re selling digital products or services

03:33 – Key engagement metrics to track for digital sellers, and why quality beats quantity

06:38 – The truth behind vanity metrics and what actually grows your business

08:53 – A simple action step: Pick one engagement metric to track this month
