d.      It can also be used to compare the organic and paid traffic of different websites so again quite useful to see how aggressive they’re being with their paid spend.)
e.      Ask yourself this question at regular intervals: is there anything else I need to analyse that I haven’t thought of before :
Example:  Should I be testing the times I post my content or the types of images I use?
Develop Useful Personas:
1)      Start with the basics and note down all the demographic information you know about your target consumer – like Age, Gender and Location.
