In this video, I'm gonna show you
the best way to track and analyze your business statistics
using just a spreadsheet.
Hey, everyone.
Megan here from meganminns.com
where I help busy entrepreneurs like you
save time running their business.
As a business owner,
it's really important that you are collecting data
about your business growth.
This will allow you to see trends
and analyze what is and isn't working in your business.
Plus, you'll be able to make smart decisions
about what to do next.
That's why I'm going to show you
the exact spreadsheet and process I use
to not only gather and collect data
but to analyze it.
Okay, so now you're looking
at the business statistics tracking spreadsheet
that I use in my business.
There are three tabs that I'm gonna walk you through,
goals, growth and log.
And I'm gonna talk you through what you need to do
to track your statistics,
how you're gonna analyze them for your business
and I'll even show you how you can actually snag
these exact same spreadsheets
so you don't have to figure out all the formulas yourself.
So the first thing you want to do
when it comes to tracking your business statistics
is go ahead and set some goals.
What I track is my email list,
so the number of subscribers on my email list,
the number of followers on Instagram,
Twitter, Facebook for my business page,
that's important,
and my Pinterest followers.
For me YouTube is a big emphasis in my business right now
so I'm definitely tracking my YouTube subscribers
and I actually don't have a Facebook group right now
but one of my clients does
so I wanted to make sure that this was included
for tracking her business statistics.
And I know a lot of you do use Facebook groups
to help grow your business,
so I definitely wanted to include this.
Now you can actually change the names of these
to be whatever you want
if you want to track different things,
that's totally fine.
So what you'll want to do
is go ahead and drop in these goals.
So I'm gonna go ahead and drop in my goals
for these real quick.
Okay, so I just went ahead and dropped in
some demo goal numbers here really quick
and you can see that automatically,
this has been updated as well,
which is just great,
I love when that happens
and we're gonna actually come back to this tab
once we go through the other tabs
because really once you set your goals,
the rest of this is happening automatically
so we need to actually drop in some data
for us to see how this all plays out.
But the first thing you want to do
is set those goals.
Okay, so I'm actually gonna jump to this third tab,
the log tab,
because an essential part
of tracking your business statistics
is taking the time to actually log them.
Now, this spreadsheet has made it super easy.
It takes me just one or two minutes a week
or any time I go to log this
so it's very simple and very quick.
All you need to do is input the date,
so I'm gonna put today's date
and then go ahead and quickly drop in
however many subscribers or followers you have
on each platform right now.
Okay, so I just quickly dropped in stats
that are somewhat similar to mine
and then under notes,
since this is the first time I am tracking my notes,
maybe I would just put what I do on a recurring basis.
So what you'll want to do is set a recurring task
for how often you're going to log your data.
I like to do once a week
just because it's super easy
and I don't usually forget
'cause I just have a recurring task
in my project management system.
What I really want to emphasize
is that you should have some kind of frequency with this
because the more consistent you can be, the better
and really take advantage of documenting
what you're doing differently.
So maybe if there's one week
where I suddenly sent out three emails
because I was promoting something,
I would make a note of that
so I could see what else happened.
So definitely take the time to fill out the notes section.
You can see how quick and easy that was
for me to fill this out.
It's not a hard process.
So now we get to move to the fun tab called the growth tab.
What this spreadsheet is gonna do,
again you don't have to touch it,
it's happening for you automatically
it's gonna pull the last entry for each month
and it's gonna go and drop in whatever that number was here.
So maybe you logged once a month
or 10 times a month,
it's gonna pull that last piece of data for that month
and drop it here
and then it's also going to assess
your growth month to month
as well as your overall growth
from the first time you started tracking
to the last piece of data.
So you'll see this for each social media
or platform we're tracking
and then underneath
is a visual representation of that growth.
I'm a visual person so seeing spikes and decreases visually
helps me more.
So let's go ahead and jump over to the built out version.
So in this demo,
again, we just have some random numbers pulled in.
You can see our log is a little bit more fully flushed out.
You can see these random numbers.
Just looking at this log isn't as meaningful
as seeing it broken down in this growth.
So I can see some pretty consistent trends here.
Again, that's cause it's demo content,
so I was just kind of putting in some demo numbers
but let's say all of a sudden we spike here
to 1,800 email subscribers within a week.
I can see this spike really easily visually
and I can see it up here in the trends too
but it's much easier for visual, at least for me.
So I would look back at my business and be like,
"What did I do in September?"
'Cause this is the last day of August I was here
and the last day of September I was here.
So what did I do in September,
that caused such a big increase?
And I could come back over here and say,
"Oh, okay, I did three more videos
"and I did a new giveaway
"and I did this new challenge and I launched my course.
"Wow, no wonder I saw all this growth."
So this is where the notes really
become more powerful and meaningful
is you can go back and see
what caused certain spikes.
Okay, so that's the growth tab
and all of this, again, happens automatically
which is just my favorite part.
It's so fun to see it
and see it visual
and make it feel more tangible.
So if we go back to that goals tab
on our original spreadsheet
and if we come over here,
we can see where we're at.
So really when I'm looking at the goals tab,
yes, I can sit there and read every line if I want
but I'm really kind of looking over here
just to my current stat.
The last piece of data that was put in,
where does that leave me
and how far away am I from hitting that goal?
Okay, so that is how I track my business statistics.
I take the time on a weekly basis to log the statistics,
I look at the growth
and see how I'm doing for that month
and see where it's taking me
and what's working and what isn't working
and then I look at my goals.
This is always at a glance,
I quickly check in and just see how am I doing,
where am I plateauing,
what do I need to try something new.
I think that's one of my favorite things
to look at in the growth tab
is I can see really quickly
on a visual element with these charts
where am I plateauing
and am I okay with that.
If I'm not really growing that rapidly on Pinterest,
is that okay because I'm not focusing on it
or is that bad because I'm focusing on it
and everything I'm doing isn't working?
So definitely take the time to create a chart like this,
log your stats,
have some visual aids
that are making these assessments for you
and compare it all with your goals
and see how you're doing.
This is how you can really start
to take just basic follower numbers
and actually make smart decisions in your business
'cause you know where you're making an impact
and where you're not.
Now you know exactly how to track your business growth
but I understand if you don't want to take the time
to recreate this spreadsheet yourself.
