New analytics and 2 tips that worked for us? #56

Closed metmarkosaric closed 3 years ago

Hi! Not sure if an issue is preferred but submitting a PR as it makes it easier for you.

3 proposed changes:

  1. Added analytics tool I'm working on called Plausible Analytics. We do things a bit differently from others on the list. Plausible is simple to use and understand, lightweight, privacy-friendly and open source.

As we're growing Plausible, two specific tips worked well for us so added them too:

  1. Searching Twitter for people talking about our competitors and issues that our product is solving. Then engaging and interacting with them. You can use Tweetdeck (tool made by Twitter) for this as it allows you to add columns for an easier overview than Twitter.com.

  2. Sharing our blog posts to different link aggregators and niche communities that are relevant to our product. In our case, a lot of traffic came from places such as Hacker News, Indie Hackers and Reddit after we submitted our blog post link ourselves.

Hope this helps! Thanks for your time!
