The Fundamental Analysis tools
Google Analytics Basics – Videos for beginners
There are a lot of videos about Google Analytics out there, but if you haven’t watched Google’s own videos about Google Analytics I suggest you start there. Google has a tutorial package, but it only gives you the stuff they want you to know about their products. It is always a good place to start, but I can assure you that there are plenty of other ways to use Google Analytics than the ones’ that Google tells you about.
For some purposes, there is simply no reason for Google to create material that is not relevant for their business purposes – such as how to create reports that help you decrease your AdWords spend. Naturally, the best advice for such tactics come from other sources than Google. But let’s start with their tutorials and move from there.
Google Analytics Advanced – Videos for professionals
Once you reach a bit further in your analytics learning, you will start to find the need to manipulate the data you are able to extract from different sources. This can either be done by using Google Data Studio, or by manipulating your data in Google Sheets. There are many free online tools that allow you to do this. This playlist is devoted to a series of such sources.
I believe that the second step toward becoming a Google analytics expert is to learn Google Sheets really well. If you are serious about your Google Analytics and about reaching insights that will drive your growth, then that is what you should be looking into. The playlist I link from below takes a growth perspective on analytics and how you can use it in order to grow continuously in the coming years.
