Give HN: Interested in Free a Google Analytics crash course?

14 points| carlsednaoui | 12 years ago | reply

I'm wondering if anyone here would be interested in a free Google Analytics crash course aimed towards startup founders.

The goal would be to create an hour or two of videos explaining the features and reports I use on a daily basis. I could also host office hours to answer questions and cover more advanced topics.

Let me know if you'd be interested and if there's anything in particular you'd like me to cover.

If there's enough interest I'll go ahead and create the content in the next few weekends.

Thanks!

Yes, I am in. I would like to know A/B testing and tracking the campaigns etc.

Thanks.

Ok, I'll make sure to cover this. Do you use any A/B test tool in particular? If so, which one?

Also, what's your Twitter handle? I'll ping you once the videos are done :)

Would love to learn more about campaign tracking and best practices for utm_values - e.g. Do you break out social or roll it up for utm_medium

This would be very beneficial and of great value to me and my team. A/B testing is something I would also love to learn more about.

Just went to a great debate in SMW 'Data versus Creativity'. Looking forward to the analytics course!

Would be! Don't know much about it to be honest, but it's always good to know more :p

Glad to hear that! Definitely let me know if there's anything specific you'd like me to cover.

Also, assuming this goes through, I'll announce it on HN. If you want me to ping you directly pls send me your Twitter handle or email. You can post it here or email me at [username]@gmail.com.
