    You Ask, I Answer: Tools or Concepts in Marketing Data Science?

    Jessica asks, “Which should we focus on learning most in marketing data science, concepts or tools?”

    Without a doubt, concepts. You learn frying, not a specific model of frying pan. You learn painting, not a particular paint brush. You learn to play any piano, not just one kind of piano.

    In today’s episode, Jessica s, which should we focus on learning most in marketing data science concepts or tools.

    Without a doubt, concepts, think about when you learn to cook, you learn frying, right? baking, boiling, you don’t learn a specific model of oven, you don’t learn a particular brand of frying pan you learn how to do the thing.

    And ideally, that knowledge is one that you can transfer broadly within that category.

    So if I have a eight inch frying pan, a six inch frying pan or a wok, I should be able to apply the same principles of frying.

    You learn painting right now the specific brush, although you may have techniques that are well suited for a certain type of brush, but you’ll learn painting, you learn.

    You learn to play piano, right, and in theory, you should be able to play Any piano whether it’s a little you know, 32 key miniature USB device or like an 88 key grand piano and in a Carnegie Hall, you learn to play the piano, not just one kind of piano.

    Marketing data science is exactly the same.

    You learn how to apply different concepts, different ideas, different techniques to data and not necessarily a specific tool.

    Now, do you need to use some tools? Yes, absolutely.

    You cannot fry without a frying pan.

    Man.

    If you don’t know how to handle a frying pan safely, you’re gonna have a bad time.

    The same is true in data science, you need to be able to use tools like Python or R or IBM Watson Studio, but you use it in the service of the concept.

    So learning things like regression, multiple regression classification, clustering Association.

    dimension reduction, principal component analysis, any of these techniques are things that you absolutely need to learn and what tool you use to apply those techniques is largely up to you.

    You have any number of these tools, I would say start with the open source ones because a they’re free and be when you’re writing the code, you have the most control over the techniques and over the tools, you can specify the parameters that you want to use.

    Now sometimes that’s good, sometimes that’s bad, but in the beginning, for sure, it doesn’t hurt to have a good look at the guts and the inner workings of something.

    It’s kind of like it’s kinda like the difference between you know, frying something in a regular frying pan or I want those like really crazy fancy appliances that like auto fry and boil and all this stuff you don’t really see See what’s going on.

    Right? You don’t understand caramelization of the mired reaction in one of those fancy machines.

    Yeah, absolutely see that in a good old fashioned frying pan and you understand what’s happening to your food.

    And so you can make adjustments or change the way you do things, maybe change some ingredients.

    Same is true in data science.

    If you stick all your data into a really fancy auto ml system.

    You might see some of what happens on the inside but not really, right as opposed to writing a regression algorithm yourself or using x g boost or using lasso or ridge regression.

    When you do those things, you see the outcome pretty clearly.

    Does it take longer to learn that way? Yes.

    Does it take longer to get to usable production results that way? Yes, absolutely.

    But in Doing so you learn how the techniques work, and more importantly, when they don’t work.

    When you’re doing marketing data science, that’s really important.

    The ability to say, I know when ridge regression or lasso regression, or logistic regression, or linear regression are the right choices to make based on the data that I’m working with.

    And the outcome I’m trying to achieve.

    If you leave it all up to a machine, it may or may not make the best choice for your data.

    I have run into that personally, gosh, so many times where an auto ml algorithm will try to to do a bunch of stuff on the data set, and it doesn’t understand some of what’s going on.

    Here’s a very straightforward example.

    A lot of these automated data science tools operate on the data pretty naively, they won’t look for example, for near zero variables which are variables where Most of the time, the zero they don’t look for or knockout correlates.

    So let’s say, here’s an easy one.

    Let’s say you’re doing an analysis of tweets, right? And you have all these tweets, and you’ve done character counts only 140 characters, hundred 70 characters, hundred 80 characters.

    And then you do an analysis of how many words you know, 1015 2030 words in a tweet.

    The two numbers, character count and word count are going to be perfectly correlated, right? Because they’re, essentially are derivatives of each other in some ways.

    If you put that into a machine learning algorithm that is trying to predict or understand what feature what column in your data set has the highest relationship to an outcome you care about, like no retweets.

    Those two columns can screw up the analysis Because they are so highly correlated, what you would have to do as a subject matter expert is look at that.

    Okay, which one do I care about more, you know, Twitter makes character count, a lot more important than word count.

    So that’s it, let’s knock out word count, we don’t necessarily need that we do want to have that character count in there.

    This is something that again, a lot of automated data science tools will not know to do.

    They will not know to do that, or they won’t be able to do that because they can’t tell which is more important.

    You have to understand the concept of correlates.

    And you as a subject matter experts in your data, have to say, you know what, let’s get rid of word count.

    They’re highly correlated.

    They’re probably not going to yield tremendous insight together.

    So knock out one of them.

    And let’s and use that for for the same regression analysis.

    You can’t do that without understanding the concepts.

    If you only focus on the tools, you will Follow the instructions on the tools push the buttons, and you may not get the best analysis.

    Now, is that a shortcoming of the tool? Yes, yes, it is.

    Is that something that the vendor of that tool could fix? Maybe, but probably not.

    Because again, that decision about which column to knock out is a subject matter expertise decision, and that’s something that machines simply do not have.

    So, learn the concepts, focus on the concepts, build expertise in the concepts.

    In doing so, in applying that, you will get to a point where you will learn the tools, right, as a natural outgrowth of trying to learn the concept of trying to make the concept work.

    That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pick up the manual and learn the tool do but focus on the concepts.

    That’s where you’re going to get the most value out of marketing, data science, the most value of the education and professional development you’re trying to do.

    It will give you The best understanding of how things go wrong and ways to fix it when something goes wrong when you get an analysis that makes no sense.

    Only knowing the concepts will get you past that hurdle.

    Otherwise, you’ll spit out up a spurious analysis and maybe makes bad decisions from it.

    It’s a really good question that’s spent a lot of time on this.

    to focus on those concepts.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Link in Bio Solutions for Instagram?

    You Ask, I Answer: Link in Bio Solutions for Instagram?

    Jake asks, “What’s your favorite “Instagram link in bio” platform? I tried LinkTree for a while and it seems like IG is starting to crack down on things like that.”

    Generally speaking, I prefer to roll my own when it comes to stuff like this. You have more control over it, especially the output, and you don’t have to worry about a service being discontinued or raising its prices 10x overnight. All you need is a regular responsive webpage.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode Jake asks, What’s your favorite Instagram Lincoln bio platform.

    I tried link tree for a while and it seems like Instagram is starting to crack down on things like that.

    Generally speaking, for simple services where there’s relatively low complexity, you’re better off having your own, you’re better off having your own service that is under your control that you can tune and do as little as much as you like, and is not reliant on the third party.

    One of the great challenges we face in marketing right now is the crazy explosion of point solutions for pretty much everything.

    My friend Scott Brinker creates this landscape called the mahr tech 5000 was named that three years ago when it had 5000 different marketing technology solutions this year 8000 among them, things like you know, the various Lincoln bio solutions, which is fine.

    But it always increases the complexity of your marketing technology stack.

    If you can, if you have the capability, try rolling your own try building infrastructure that you have control of, if you have the capability to do so it reduces your costs.

    And critically for basic stuff, it you don’t have to worry about a service provider vanishing overnight and then having to scramble to fix a bunch of things right? nor do you have to worry about a service provider saying, Well, you know what, we’re going to increase the cost 10 x now, which has happened to me, I had one provider that went from 25 a month for a particular technology service to500 a month.

    And they said, Yeah, we’re doing this because, uh, you know, whatever the reason wasn’t, you know, it’s fine as their rights, their software they have the right to do that.

    I have the right to not be there.

    customer and I’m like, Alright, I’m going to a different solution, I’m going to an open source solution that I host on my own servers because I don’t want to pay that much money for this particular service.

    Same with a link shortener.

    I was doing some work with a popular link shortening platform and it the pricing on it just went through the roof.

    And I was like, You know what, I’m gonna use an open source package and and run my own server and then I don’t have to pay any money other than the hosting for the server.

    And I can do as much as I want there’s no limits.

    So, that is the approach I tried to take whenever is practical to do so if there are either pieces of code you can write yourself or open source packages that you can swap in for proprietary packages.

    You will save your company a lot of money and you will give yourself the reassurance that the service the function is one that is under your control.

    So let’s look at the Instagram Lincoln bow page, I’m gonna bring switches over here, this is a very simple piece of code.

    And all it is, is it has the URL that you change, but the Lincoln bio, and then some Google Analytics tags, because one of the things that people like about services like, you know, the link to use the world is they get analytics on it.

    Well, I like analytics, too.

    I like analytics more if it’s in an interface that everyone’s familiar with, like Google Analytics.

    So in this case, I have it set up so that it sends essentially, link click data to my Google Analytics installed, so that I can go in and look and see, you know, track with the sources, the mediums campaign codes, and I don’t have to append that to the URL, and it does the thing and sends it off to Instagram.

    What does it look like? What does the code actually look like? The the Lincoln bio part that is the link on Instagram as one URL on the web server and then it goes to a page that looks like this, where for those of you who use link tree looks real simple, right? This is just a WordPress page, it’s just a page on the company website.

    Nothing fancy, nothing special.

    Just got a little bit styling to make it look like a link tree.

    And it works great.

    It gets people exactly where I want them.

    And this is a page that you can maintain in WordPress.

    So if this is going to be like the permanent page on your link on your, your Lincoln bio, then guess what this This fulfills the function.

    So if you don’t care about the virtual clicks on the Instagram link itself, put a page like this on your WordPress, install, write, style it a little bit, and then use this as your Lincoln bio and then it’s just another page you maintain on your website.

    It keeps things simple, and keeps things clean.

    It is under your control.

    And if you’re as long as your template is responsive, like this one here.

    It makes it so easy for people to find the resources that you want them to have and bonus If it’s a regular web page that’s responsive, you can change other parts of this.

    You can do a B testing on it, you can do a bunch of things that you can’t do with link tree.

    You can’t A B test different offers on link tree.

    You can’t swap around the order the buttons and do all these things.

    Or if you can, I, I’ve used link tree once.

    I don’t know if these are paid features and up.

    Why pay.

    It’s a web page that you run on your website, you use Google Optimize, to do the A B testing.

    And now you’ve got all the marketing technology facilities you could possibly want.

    on a web page.

    You have your Google Analytics running on here so you can see the traffic to this page.

    You have Google optimized for a B testing if Google Tag Manager so you can track and cookie and run campaigns promotions to this page.

    You could use this page in your Facebook ads.

    Keep it simple, keep things as simple as possible.

    That’s the solution I recommend.

    When we’re possible.

    Keep it in house.

    Even if there’s nothing more than a simple web page, and do it yourself.

    Now that link redirected I was talking about is not an essential part, you can just have the page itself.

    And that’s the link that goes in your bio.

    And you just adjust this as you need to.

    If you want the link redirector for the extra analytics, that’s something else you have to code, but it’s not a deal breaker, right.

    And it’s just additional data.

    So that’s a solution I would recommend.

    Are there other services that do what LinkedIn does? Yes, of course there are.

    Do you need to pay them? I personally don’t think so.

    So if you have follow up questions about this, feel free to ask in the comments box below.

    But again, keep it simple.

    Use your existing content platform.

    What makes this page useful is it’s just a bunch of CSS.

    It’s just you know, standard design stuff, nothing fancy no additional plugins, you can just put it right in the HTML on your web page.

    Looks great.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Dealing With Duplicate Content and SEO?

    You Ask, I Answer: Dealing With Duplicate Content and SEO?

    Simone asks, “Does Google Search ding us for duplicated content or should I just throw this out the window and let my editorial team publish the same content across multiple sites?”

    Google’s search algorithms attempt to find the most authoritative version of any given piece of content. Sometimes that’s your site. Sometimes it’s not – especially if your site isn’t as robust, authoritative, or trustworthy as a site you’re syndicating content to.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Simone asks, Does Google Search ding us for duplicated content? Or should I just throw this out the window and let my editorial team published the same content across multiple sites? So on the topic of duplicate content, here’s what happens with Google.

    Google looks at a piece of content and kind of fingerprints it and then looks around at its catalog and sees where else it is seamless.

    And then based on that, it tries to figure out which one is the most authoritative, which one is the one that will give the user the best experience.

    And so it’s going to take into account things like reputation, expertise, trustworthiness, all these ranking signals that it’s come up with.

    That will help it decide when it shows a page because it’s going to show the best results.

    Not going to show All the results, it picks up, it’ll show the best result in a Google search query to the end user.

    The trouble with syndicated content where you take a piece of content and you pitch it everywhere and throw it on every blog, and get reporters to publish it, etc, if you can, if it’s impossible these days is your site may not be the best choice.

    Right? Even if it’s your content, your site may not be the best choice.

    If you have a piece of content, and you put it on, it’s on your blog, and it’s on, say, The New York Times.

    Just by virtue of reputation, and user interface alone, who’s going to win.

    Probably Google is going to see the New York Times version as the authoritative version saying this is clearly the most reputable authoritative site and you your content will get consumed but it will not get consumed on your site and will not benefit your site because A better ranking site has taken that advantage.

    So when you are publishing content, there’s two ways to get around this.

    One.

    don’t publish it elsewhere.

    Right? That’s by far the easiest solution is if you’ve got something that you’ve invested a lot of time in, and you really want it to contribute to your site’s search engine optimization efforts, your SEO efforts.

    Keep it in in your wheelhouse.

    Don’t let other sites have that same piece of content, you might create an extract or abstract or summary, a shorter version, much shorter that links back to your site.

    And that’s a great way to do that.

    It’s a great strategy, but don’t give away the whole thing.

    The second way which is less reliable, and therefore, somewhat more challenging, is when you publish that piece of content A make sure it’s on your site first, by a substantial amount of time, like, at least a day, ideally a week and use what’s called the rel canonical tag.

    A rel canonical tag is a meta tag that goes into your website.

    For that piece of content.

    Ideally, it’s set up as a part of your content management system.

    So it’s on every piece of content.

    And it basically tells Google, this is the original piece of content.

    You may see this other places, but this is where it appeared first, and this is this is who the owner of this piece of content is.

    Now, the challenge with that, of course, is that if you just hand another blog, that same piece of content, they put it on their website, and they have the same rel canonical tag turned on and they’re CMS.

    Now you have essentially you’re back to square one.

    You have two sides battling out that’s why the timing is important, making sure that it appears first on on yours Because logically, if it appears first there and Google fingerprints both and says, Well, this one appeared earlier, the system knows that that is more likely to be the original piece of content.

    So the timing difference combined with rel canonical can help.

    But fundamentally, don’t give away the best stuff to other people.

    Right? give away the stuff that’s okay.

    That helps establish your reputation that helps broaden awareness.

    But for the things that are your crown jewels, they belong on your site and your site alone.

    So make that decision when you’re when you’re building your content strategy.

    What are we going to give away? What are we going to rent essentially, and by that I mean those abstracts as extracts the short versions of your your better pieces of content, and what are we just not going to give away.

    The other thing that is You may want to look into is if you’ve got people who are taking content from your site without your permission, you can file copyright infringement claims with Google takedown notices and such saying, hey, can this site is scraping our stuff that in itself is a full time job because there’ll be plenty of sites that will scrape your stuff.

    And it takes a while to to pursue them but certainly anything that scraping your your big stuff, you might want to to get like a virtual assistant or somebody to go out and chase those sites, filing those claims with Google, sending down takedown notices, cease and desist notices and all that stuff.

    That takes time and money.

    And I would only say that would be a problem if you notice it in your search engine.

    Rank monitoring tools.

    If you see sites that you’re competing with winning on keywords that lead to scraped content that is yours.

    That would be I sort of the threshold, I would say where you’d want to go out and pursue those those folks who are doing that, because that obviously is causing harm to your business.

    If it’s not causing harm, if you know some bot farm is scraped your entire blog, and it’s showing up in monitored links in your in your SEO tool, and they’re like domain authority is like to and stuff and you badly outrank them.

    That’s not an issue.

    So that’s duplicate content.

    A lot of people will refer to a duplicate content penalty, there is no penalty, right? Google does not say we’re going to punish you for for having duplicate content, Google is simply going to say, we’re going to find the best version of this piece of content.

    So your site will not incur some kind of mysterious penalty and vanish from search rankings.

    That kind of happened a long time ago and is sort of stuck with people who have not kept their SEO knowledge up to date.

    But that is no longer the case and has not been for a very long time.

    So that’s, that’s duplicate content.

    Be careful where you wiki.

    Ultimately Be careful who you let borrow your stuff.

    Same as anything.

    All right? Don’t let people borrow your best stuff.

  • You Ask, I Answer: How to Change a Podcast’s Brand?

    You Ask, I Answer: How to Change a Podcast's Brand?

    Jason asks, “What are the precautionary steps if I need to change the title, description, artwork and such for a podcast so I can avoid losing momentum and not break anything with the new version of the show? What are the implications for being discovered in the podcast searches?”

    Treat this like any move. Avoid changing the root domain if possible. Tell your audience and your customers what’s going to happen with plenty of advanced notice, and consider some transitional artwork and messaging. From a technical perspective, as long as the URL doesn’t change, you won’t break anything infrastructure-wise.

    Be sure to update the description and feed details – again, think transitional. Have stuff like “The show formerly known as” so that people aren’t surprised – and by having the old show name in your description and maybe even title, you’ll still catch those folks who are searching by the show’s old name.

    More than anything, do some basic SEO work and see where your existing show is getting links from, so that you can reach out to those places and get them to update the title and description.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Jason asks, What are the precautionary steps? If I need to change the title, description, artwork and such for a podcast so I can avoid losing momentum and not break anything with a new version of the show? What are the implications for being discovered in podcast searches? So this is a good question.

    podcast searches, particularly on services like Spotify, apple, podcasts, Google podcasts, etc, are very rudimentary.

    They function like SEO did like 15 years ago, where it really is all just very primitive keywords and things.

    There’s none of the AI that you would expect from like a Google search that would detect intent and things.

    So specific terms specific names, brands matter a lot.

    So treat this move that you’re talking about like any other move, right? Treat it like a website.

    Try not to change the domain name.

    Try not to change URLs, if possible, because that adds a level of technical complexity that you do not want.

    Updating RSS feeds and things like that.

    If you can avoid changing the URL, then what you need to do is create a plan for transition period, maybe a month, maybe she wants it depends on the cadence of how fast you release your show.

    If your show is a daily show, you could probably make the move fully in about two weeks.

    Depending on I guess, the easiest way to look is is to look at how fast old shows stop getting downloads, you know, other than like the ones you twosie here and there.

    If your listenership tunes into a show and listens within 24 hours of of it dropping, then, you know, give yourself a few weeks to move.

    If on the other hand, a show doesn’t really taper off until like a month then you might need to Give yourself a couple of months of transition time.

    In the transition time, what you want to do is tell people that things are changing, give people advance notice, you’ll want to craft some transitional artwork that incorporates the old shows look and the new shows look at the same time.

    So if there’s a picture of your just your face for the old show, and there’s a brand new logo for the new show, maybe in the transitional artwork, there’s a picture of your face and the logo together.

    Your messaging has to be the same as well, letting people know on the air, hey, this is going to be changing in however long.

    When you next open your podcast listener, you’re gonna see start to see some of the changes.

    It’s still the same show.

    It’s still the same person.

    It’s still it’s still me.

    But don’t be surprised if in on you know, set an arbitrary date on July one.

    The name has changed in your podcast listener, and please keep tuning it.

    For more a technical perspective, as long as the URL doesn’t change, you’re not going to break anything infrastructure wise.

    You do want to update the description and the feed details.

    And, again, we want to be transitional here.

    If the show is, you know, almost timely podcast with Christopher Penn, or in this case, let’s say if the Christopher Penn show becomes the most timely podcast.

    The transitional name should be almost daily podcast with Christopher Penn or almost timely podcasts, the show formerly known as the Christopher Penn show, right so that a people aren’t surprised.

    Be the, the name is people get set to get familiar with the name in their their pod catcher of choice.

    And see, you want to take advantage of those very primitive SEO metrics, right, those SEO tools that are in podcasting, you know, Pete very primitive keyword searches.

    If someone is searching for the Christopher Penn show.

    I want to have that For sure in the description of my podcast forever, right, maybe at the end of my description we’ll say formerly known as the Christopher Penn show.

    But in the title of the show and the episodes, I will probably want to have that transition period of the almost timely podcast.

    The artist formerly known as Christopher Penn, whatever is in the description so that people searching for it, catch it.

    Now for a little while, that’s going to be ugly.

    Got some really long titles, but you’ll be giving people the chance to make the transition to mentally make the transition it depending on how large your listener bases and again how frequently or infrequently record, you might even start with flipping the names around.

    So if your show is the Christopher Penn show, and the new shows the almost timely podcast, but Christopher Penn show soon to become the almost time we podcast and then do four or five episodes like that, and then flip it around the almost half hour podcasts formerly known as the Christopher Penn show, and then four or five episodes that and then at the end You have the almost half of the podcast but in the description of each episode, and in the master feed description, you’ll have the show formerly known as Christopher Penn show that way.

    You’re continuing to attract any searches for people who are looking for the old show while you’re capturing the new show.

    One other thing that’s really important with podcasts is there are tons of podcast directories and things like that, that have links to shows there are syndicators and aggregators, more so with podcasts and blogs than with like social media.

    By the way, make sure you update all your social properties, usual stuff for any any kind of brand change.

    You need to go into the SEO tool of your choice and look for all the inbound links to the old show, including individual episodes.

    And then if you have the time, go and hunt down those links and ask people To change the title, the description of those links, the the wording, the anchor text on those links.

    If you don’t have a ton of time, I would take that same data extract from the SEO tool of your choice, sorted in descending order by URL URL rank, or whatever your tools equivalent is, and at least take care of the top 10%.

    Right, so that you’re getting the most equity redirected, in terms of branding and name and anchor text changes possible to help boost the new show to help to get the new show up and running.

    The messaging for that could actually be very similar.

    So if somebody is linking to Episode 14 of the Christopher Penn show, I would reach out to them and say, Hey, I just want to let you know thanks so much for linking to me, I’m changing my show’s name.

    Would you consider changing the link text to Episode 14 of the almost highly podcast formerly known as the Christopher Penn show so that again, I’m capturing both of those things.

    I want to make sure that getting as much of the link redirects the anchor text changes as possible to boost helping people find the new name of the show.

    Finally, like all things in podcasting, make sure that you’re doing your outreach, your your rounds, your promos.

    It’s so funny people have forgotten how to do promos.

    It used to be nothing to do in podcasting back in, you know, oh 60708 and people just don’t do it anymore.

    And it’s a shame because it’s a good way to get in front of another audience easily as long as the audience’s is a peer of yours and non competitive.

    So give that some thought as well.

    There are tons and tons of podcasts and nobody remembers that should write about that.

    At some point.

    I just lost podcasting culture.

    So that’s it.

    It’s treated like a brand chain, treat like a brand move to all the things give people transition time.

    Try not to break the technical aspects and you should be fine.

    Keep the old name around.

    titles and descriptions especially so that you can attract searches for them and let the directories know where they are.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode Thomas asks, What tool Do you like to use to record your computer screen looking to make an instructional video and I want to show the steps on the screen as I go.

    The tool that I prefer, I recommend strongest TechSmith Camtasia is available for Windows and Mac computers, I use the Mac version.

    And what I like about it is that it has a lot of instructional elements that it’s well designed for teaching with it.

    There are a lot of tools can just record your screen right, you can do that with like video conferencing software, but you don’t get any of the interactivity.

    So let me show you a very quick example here.

    Let’s go ahead and move this up.

    Within Camtasia, what you can do is I did a brief recording here, do things like cursor highlights or spotlights to show only a specific part of the screen you can see there’s a version of it there where I’m highlighting, essentially just where my cursor is, which is awfully handy if you want to be able to teach people what it is you’re doing.

    There are other effects that I think are super helpful.

    One of which is the ability to show keystrokes.

    So as you’re typing, you can’t really see it here.

    I bring them to the bottom.

    You can see at the bottom, there’s a little keystroke, there we go.

    That’s better.

    And it will show you this is what I’m typing on the keyboard.

    As I’m doing work, these little things.

    There’s a lot of them.

    There’s no masks, there’s green screen effects, interactive hotspots.

    These are the kinds of things you’re going to want in an instructional video.

    One of the tricks to doing this is if you look at the way the system is structured, and you look at all the features that are available in it, you’ll want to spend some time you know, getting them Hang of what all the different buttons do.

    And then treat them like actors on a stage or actors in a movie script.

    Think about what you want each one to do it, plot out your lecture your instructional video as though it were a movie.

    And so instead of having just straight cuts or directions for actors, which of these effects where they make sense Do you want to use because they said, there’s a lot in here and there’s some that are kind of fun, but like this reflection, one, it’s not super useful for instruction.

    The ones for instruction that you’re going to use a ton are going to be things like these cursor effects to able to highlight where something is happening on screen, and be able to animate and, and and fit things on screen.

    Picture and picture is going to be one of your best friends.

    So in this example here, I can take this video, I was scale it down to 25%.

    And so in the final Video for today’s episode, which is where this is going to go, I’ll be able to bring this up and be able to have the picture in pictures like we have it right here.

    And again, that’s just a way for you to be able to have your lecture show up on screen or reverse it, put your your face and your, your talking head in that little corner and have those big slides and things take up most of the room.

    Recording instructional videos is filmmaking.

    It’s a very specific kind of filmmaking, right, you’re not going to win an Oscar for it.

    But it requires the same amount of planning and thought that you would put into making a motion picture.

    It’s not as easy as just turning on hitting record and, and just hoping it goes well and you’re winging it, which I have done and it turns out badly every single time.

    So the software is important, having the different features having the different buttons, the ability to have a library of you know, music and intros and things the ability to store all favorites, be able to use them easily.

    These are great tools and Camtasia is one of the best tools for this for instructional videos.

    But as with everything, the tool is less important than how you use it.

    Right? If you can’t cook, there’s no difference between a 5 frying pan and a50 frying pan, you’re still going to make garbage.

    So take the time to learn this take the time to learn some basic filmmaking to go with the software.

    If you don’t, you’re not going to create very useful instructional videos and the thing about instructional videos in particular is that they are very different from regular films.

    And instructional video has to have a very strong structure in it that helps people get information into their heads.

    So if you just open up Camtasia and start recording and start talking, it just comes as you know, word vomit It’s not going to be very helpful to the end user, they’re going to be lost very easily.

    If you have a very clear structure to your instructional videos, you’ll do much better.

    So one of the ones that I use is very simple as what why how, what is the thing is a first quarter video? Why is the thing important second quarter, and then how the last 50% is using the software to demonstrate how to do the thing and if you do it in, that’s just one example of a storytelling structure for instructional videos.

    If you do that, you will get much better results.

    The tool will help you with the how, but you’ll be able to think about how you want things structured.

    One of the things Camtasia does really well as it has dropped in templates.

    So you could actually create placeholders in say a 10 minute timeline here and label them what why house so that you know you have to fill those things with that particular content in order to be able to create a reliable compelling and helpful.

    instructional video.

    So that’s my recommendation.

    The one exception I will make is if you are doing something as a live stream, if you’re going to do something as a live stream, I would recommend OBS the open broadcast studio.

    It’s open source software, it does not contain any of the instructional tools.

    But it is free software for streaming that does a really good job of capturing different scenes and stuff.

    And you can do some of the you can do like subtitles and lower thirds and and that’s really about the extent of what you can can do, at least with a product out of the box.

    But that is a great tool for streaming.

    One of the things I like about it is that it also records a local copy of what you’re streaming on screen, which you can then take render and put into Camtasia and then you can add some features some of the features like highlight and stuff don’t work with with prebuilt videos you have to record using the Camtasia software itself, but other things like subtitles and stuff work just fine.

    That’s how I would that’s the exception to the rule.

    So use OBS for live streaming use Camtasia for recording, and you’ll be able to create great, compelling useful videos.

    So good question.

    It depends on what you want to write and how good you are at it. There’s room in the marketplace for actual writers of things like fiction, if you’re good enough. There’s room for technical writers, content creators, editors, grant writers, copy writers. It all comes down to what you’re really good at.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode a lotta asks, let’s say you have a job that is making you pretty unhappy.

    I’m unhappy, marketing manager, supervisor, one other person and you’re realizing that you hate Google Analytics and content calendars and pixels.

    And you really just ended up here because you’d like to write and it got out of hand.

    What would you do? What kind of job would you look for? Okay.

    It depends.

    It depends on what you want to write and how good you are added.

    There is still plenty of room in the overall marketplace for actual writers, people who write things, nonfiction or fiction.

    I have friends who make living as professional authors, professional fictional authors.

    That’s what they do.

    They crank out terrific books.

    A lot of them That is something that is in more demand than ever actually the number of people who are looking for in the, in these uncertain times, stuff that’ll go on your Kindle, you know, and not just writing either writing, art any kind of creativity is stuff that there’s room in the marketplace for and I will also say that as much as I love artificial intelligence and what it can do it’s not going to replace fiction writing anytime soon.

    Unlike things that well I it’s not gonna replace writing in general anytime soon.

    writers in general, because every act of writing, as long as you’re not literally copying and pasting and you’re good at it offers a unique point of view that has not been created before.

    Machine learning and AI are really good at creating things from things they’ve already seen.

    But When you go and write something for the first time that is brand new, nobody has seen that before.

    And it’s very difficult for machines to come up with stuff that is genuinely uniquely new because they are trained on things that already exist.

    So there is plenty of room in the marketplace for actual writers, as long as you’re good, as long as you’re good.

    And you create stuff that people want to read.

    On the sort of the paid nonfiction side, there’s a ton of jobs, technical writers, for example, people who make documentation, all those manuals, all those, you know, bug reports and things.

    And there’s room even for a tremendous amount of creativity in that if you look, if you open up your smartphone, and you go into your app updates, and you read the app update notices, there are some that are like you know, bug fixes and improvements, very boring stuff.

    And then there’s others that are written with a sense of humor written with some fun love heartedness because the writers there can.

    There are plenty of jobs in the creative field writing things like script, especially now, in a world where anybody with a smartphone can make a film that doesn’t look bad.

    Again, on the nonfiction side, there’s content creators, people who write blog posts, for example, white papers, research, tons of writing there.

    There are grant writers, particularly for educational institutions and nonprofits writing grants to to win money from governments and nonprofit other nonprofit organizations.

    They’re copywriters, people just write copy that will then be used in white papers and webinars and such.

    There are editors, tons of different kinds of editors.

    So it all comes down to what you’re really good at.

    And if you enjoy writing and you’re really good at it, there’s a market for you.

    There’s a market for There’s actually a tremendous market for ghostwriting, and for clean transcription.

    So one of the things that I know friends of mine have done is they want to write a book.

    But they themselves know that we’re not great writers, but they could sit down and, you know, in interviews, get out a little audio voice recorder like this, right? And talk for hours and hours on end, and turn that into an end have a proficient talented writer, turn that into a book that you’d want to read, that still captured that the essence of that person’s voice, but didn’t require them to sit down to the keyboard and write things out.

    There are a lot of people right now in the space where they want to build their personal brands.

    They want to do all these these things, and having a book for good or ill still is one of the heroes sticks that people have in mind that says this person must know what they’re doing.

    they’ve written a book, right? It speaks well to the authority of books in our culture, that it still has that much sway that you’re having a book with your name on it of some kind, mean something.

    But again, a lot of people are not great writers.

    A lot of people do not have the time or the are not willing to commit to the discipline it takes to write a book I’ve written at this point, I think 22 of them and I just badly hammered out my first piece of fiction beyond 60 some odd thousand words it takes a lot to do that is to sit down for 30 6090 days for a couple hours each day just at the keyboard banging it out.

    Realizing the last 2000 words you just wrote were absolute garbage you have to select all hit delete and try over my book AI for marketers second edition I took the first digit Select all delete, and start over.

    And I’ll probably have to do the same thing with the third edition because it the field changes so fast.

    So there’s a tremendous amount of opportunity out there.

    What I would say is if you’re thinking about making a change into a creative writing career a go and do your homework join.

    There are so many writing groups on Facebook and other places that you can join and figure out what it is you want to do while you’re doing the job you’re doing.

    Because this is not the time to quit a job without something lined up.

    Hmm.

    While you’re doing the job you’re currently doing.

    Do some, I don’t like the word networking, but do some networking, do some informational networking where you you just want to talk to people in those positions and hear what it is that they do have virtual coffee with them, right we’re all still attached to our webcams.

    Having a spresso have a gin and tonic, depending on the time of the day with somebody at a in a career that you might want to just ask them what their work is like, how much of it is actual writing, how much it’s project management, how much is of this, this or that? Let’s see what’s out there.

    You may find, for example, hearing people’s experiences that you may not want to be a technical writer or a grant writer, those are there’s not a lot of room for creativity, particularly in grant writing.

    You have very, very stringent requirements, but it is writing.

    On the other hand, things like ghost writing, and marketing copy, there’s a lot more latitude, depending on how well you market yourself.

    Now there’s the catch.

    A lot of folks who work in in the writing industry, I guess, are freelancers they are.

    They are individuals sole proprietors going out there and doing the thing.

    And that’s very much a feast or famine business as well.

    agencies in particular need really good writers, public relations, advertising marketing.

    So again, do some informational networking, ask people what their work is like.

    I know when I worked in an agency, one of the frustrations people had was that they were they had so much to do, that their writing quality suffered, it made them really unhappy because they couldn’t, they knew they couldn’t do their best because they didn’t have the time to do it.

    So again, go out, talk to people figure out what it is like for them.

    See if it’s for you.

    Maybe do try some freelancing on the side if your your current conditions allow you to moonlight.

    Maybe give that a shot and see if it’s for you if you can make it go.

    But if you’re if you’re talented enough, but there is a lot of opportunity out there for folks who love to write.

    You have follow up questions, please leave them in the comments box below.

    Linda asks, “What recommendations do you have for recording video quickly and easily? The camera on my iPhone isn’t doing the job.”

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s video, Linda asks, what recommendations do you have recording video quickly and easily? The camera on my iPhone isn’t doing the job? Well, here’s the thing.

    Unless your iPhones like over five years old, in which case it probably it’s barely functional.

    The camera on most modern smartphones if your phone is less than two years old is probably more than enough, right? Most camera phones these days can record at you know, 10 ADP or better iPhones.

    This one’s two years old now I think records it at 4k.

    So it’s not that the phone itself isn’t doing the job.

    It’s three problems that you probably have.

    Number one, lighting, number two stabilization number three audio.

    So there are some relatively inexpensive things you can do.

    To mitigate this Alright, so let’s talk about some of these solutions that you can use.

    Lighting is straightforward.

    We’ve talked about this before.

    A simple cheap yard sale lamp is more than enough properly positioned so that you get decent lighting.

    Right most smartphones most cameras do not do well in low light.

    That’s just a fact of life with any kind of camera.

    The better your lighting within reason, the better the cameras gonna look.

    So a couple of simple solutions.

    You can get little inexpensive battery powered LED lights, these things give me you know, put on and you put them away from your subject so it’s not like this close this is too bright.

    You can see that on the video, but put it you know, on a ledge or on a tripod or something.

    This cute little one comes a little hook you can hang it off of things and you’ll get plenty of light if you need something a little bit bigger.

    Look into a power bank that has an integrated LED panel again Like the, the little one, you can put this pretty far away and it provides some nice lighting very portable, easy, and will give you much better quality video as opposed to like sitting in a dark room all by yourself.

    So that’s lighting.

    second problem you probably have with smartphones is stabilization.

    These little devices, they are light, right? That’s one of the reasons why we love these things.

    They are lightweight, they are easy to hold to carry, etc.

    That also means that they are jittery.

    So if you’re trying to hold a phone and film, just minute changes in your hand, move the device.

    The way to fix this is to make this device heavier and bulkier which sounds counterintuitive, but it actually makes a lot of sense.

    Now there are some market solutions for this example is like a gimbal stabilizer.

    But this is kind of overkill for stuff that’s probably going to be static shots.

    All you really need is a simple like a monopod This is a very straightforward monopod just extend it out here a little bit and a selfie stick clip.

    What you’re doing here is taking away motion at the point of device and essentially putting it elsewhere.

    So put this in your monopod and now you have a much more stable platform and you’re going to have a lot less shake a lot less jitter and the heavier this thing is, the better it works if you actually have a real tripod, I like to put my phone on a tripod sometimes it it makes the video so much more stable, much less jittery.

    Even if you take something as simple as one of these these silly like trade show, selfie stick mounts right and you just put this on like a five pound weight off it with all that but put on a piece of PVC.

    This will do wonders for stabilizing your phone.

    Taking out that jittery handshake that makes your video look unprofessional.

    This here even just this stabilizes the phone a lot and bonus if you’re just shooting in a in a static environment like somebody’s desk, plunk it on the floor, and now you’ve got a camera stand.

    Right so stabilization.

    Second thing third thing that is probably not performing well with your phone is the audio.

    And again we’ve talked about this a lot audio quality matters a great deal.

    David Tim has over Kenai says the great video begins with great audio.

    The camera on these phones, fantastic.

    The microphone terrible.

    It is a small microphone is embedded inside of a little piece of glass it is very difficult to get good sound out of it.

    So there’s a couple of different solutions.

    The easiest and simplest solution if you don’t mind the look on screen is a 9 wired microphone from Amazon clips on here.

    This end depending on your phone may or may not need extra connectors.

    plugs into the bottom your phone And now you will get near broadcast quality audio from just this little clip on mic.

    It’s a very, very straightforward solution.

    If you don’t like doing that or it doesn’t look good, or it’s a problem, you can get the same microphone tuck it in into somebody’s jacket and plug it into a tiny little audio recorder.

    Right again, relatively inexpensive.

    I think he’s like 70 bucks on Amazon.

    And what this does is it records the audio separately and from the phone.

    Remember that the goal of good audio is always to get the microphone as close to your mouth as possible.

    Right so when the phone is eight feet across the room over there or whatever, it’s gonna sound terrible.

    It’s gonna sound like you’re talking as I have a giant tin can when the microphone is inches away from your mouth either on your jacket or or there’s other microphone options like a shotgun microphone, but the Lavalier is the simplest easiest and hardest to screw up.

    That will get you great quality sound You will if you go the audio recorder route, you will need to take this an audio and put it into a video editor and sync it up with the the recorded video on the phone.

    Generally speaking, that’s one of the reasons why you see movies students have clapboards, you know those things would we it seems to make that loud snapping sound.

    It’s not just for decoration.

    It is so that when the audio editors working, they can line up that loud clapping noise in a video editor and make it sync up.

    easy way to do if you don’t have a clap board, just clap your hands.

    And you’ll see in the editor, those two claps, you can line up the sound that way.

    So that’s generally what goes wrong with video when people are talking about the phone not being good enough.

    It’s bad lighting, no stabilization, and it’s bad audio.

    If you solve for those three things, there’s a really good chance that your phone can look and clean create great new your studio quality video.

    There was a great video done by the band Evanescence not too long ago called wasted on you.

    It’s on YouTube and it was a shot entirely on band members phones, they were, as we all are under a shelter in place as we record this in mid 2020.

    And they had to make do with what they got.

    So the director told them what shots to take, they took out their phones, and then with a lot of post production, and you can see it because the post production stuff folks can do things that make video look like anything else black and white, you know, old style, stabilizing it after afterwards, you can do a tremendous amount in post production, but it was shot on phones, right.

    So even though it is a polished production.

    It started with one of these devices.

    So those are the recommendations that suggest if you want to spend more money and a lot of it.

    Look at a camera like the DJI Osmo pocket DJI makes a phenomenal mechanic.

    electronically stabilized gimbal camera that shoots beautiful video absolutely beautiful video it is one of my favorite devices looks like this.

    And you’ll see it has the ability to track you can move the camera around without the lens moving around a whole lot.

    These are about350 on Amazon.

    If you shoot a lot of video, it’s worth it.

    If you don’t shoot a lot of video, I would say use the much less expensive tricks to try and get more out of the existing smartphone that you have.

    If your phone is over five years old, might not be the worst thing to upgrade your phone.

  • You Ask, I Answer: The ROI of Data Quality?

    You Ask, I Answer: The ROI of Data Quality?

    Oz asks, “I have a question about what you mean about data quality can’t be sold and it’s seen as overhead? I suspect we’re talking about 2 different things but I’m curious about what you’re describing.”

    In the data analytics and data science process, data quality is absolutely foundational – without it, nothing else matters. Yet companies underinvest in data quality because it’s a cost center. There’s no ROI in data quality that can easily be perceived. To the non-technical user, data is data and it’s often presumed to be correct until proven otherwise or it conflicts with your ideology/pre-determined opinion.

    Lots of human prejudices get in the way. Imagine thinking you had cake flour, but you actually have said.
    – “Well, we already paid for it so we may as well use it”
    – “It can’t be that different, right?”
    – “We’re focused on actionable insights anyway”
    – “How wrong could it be, it’s from Google?”

    How do you get someone to invest when they have such deep-seated flaws? You can’t, until the flawed data leads them to a negative outcome – and even then it’s unlikely they’ll accept responsibility for their decisions.

    To prove the ROI of data quality, you have to leverage the scientific method and demonstrate just how different the outcomes are.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode oz asks, I have a question about what you mean about data quality can’t be sold, and it’s seen as overhead.

    I suspect we’re talking about two different things.

    But I’m curious about what you’re describing.

    So in the data analytics process, yes, data quality is its foundational, right? It’s absolutely essential.

    Without it, nothing else matters, right? If you are focusing on using data, and you don’t invest in data quality, and making sure your data is clean, and correct, and comprehensive, all the the six seasons of the Data Quality Framework, you’re going to end up in trouble.

    We have seen no shortage of examples of people making decisions on flawed data, especially these days.

    And yet, companies and individuals are Under investing in data quality, because it seemed as cost center seen as an expense.

    Even if you’re saying to people look without correct data, we can’t make decisions here.

    We can’t make decisions that will be good.

    They see it as something that is, should be automatic.

    Right? It shouldn’t need to happen.

    And well, we’ll give you some examples.

    Here’s some things that people have actually said, When confronted with poor data quality.

    Well, can’t be that different, right? Yeah.

    Well, we’re focused on actionable insights anyway, which come from data? Well, how long could it be? It’s from Google said about Google Analytics.

    And my favorite, oh, we already paid for it, so we may as well use it.

    Now, imagine, when we’re talking about data quality, imagine that We’re talking about baking a cake.

    And you think you bought flour.

    But you actually got sand.

    Right? It sounds so silly.

    These excuses sound so silly, don’t they? It’s like, well, it can’t be that different, right? Well, yeah, I mean, they’re both granular, but one is sand, and one is cake flour.

    If you’re making a cake, you’re probably not going to be super thrilled with the outcome of a pile of sand.

    And that’s where that’s where we run into trouble.

    companies make these blanket assumptions.

    And I should be clear individuals at companies make these blanket decisions that data is data.

    And it’s got to be correct because it’s inside of a machine, right? And I’m constantly surprised at the number of people who have these very naive, really naive perceptions that because it comes out of a machine or it comes out of Google Analytics is something that must be corrected as presumed.

    To be correct.

    And is also presumed not to need any cleaning because it comes from Google Analytics.

    Now, don’t get me wrong, Google Analytics is a terrific tool.

    I love it.

    But out of the box, it’s not right.

    You got to spend some time tuning it.

    The same is true of all marketing data, I have yet to see a single marketing data source, that when you export the data, and you load it into the analysis tool, your choice that it’s perfect, never seen one not yet.

    A lot of vendors create good data, but it still needs cleaning still needs engineering still needs quality checks.

    And data quality is seen as as an added expense to the process.

    Well, why do we need it? Why do we need to invest in it? Why do we need a person other than an analyst to look at this? Why does that have to happen? it’s slowing down the process.

    And again, all things that I have heard many many times and have gritted my teeth Keith, as, as they’ve been said, What’s more challenging Ben is when something goes wrong.

    And it does because if you make a cake with sand, you’re not going to enjoy it.

    And the person who made the decisions is shown the negative outcomes.

    They generally don’t accept responsibility for their choices.

    They will blame something else the system, the animals who did it, phases of the moon, whatever the case may be.

    And I’ve also noticed and this is a societal thing is a sign of the times that when shown how the poor quality data has performed a person some people We’ll say, well, it doesn’t matter anyway, because this is what the outcome was I was looking for, right? There is a tremendous amount of behavior in which data that conflicts with someone’s ideology or pre existing opinion is rejected out of hand.

    And that makes data quality leads and harder sell.

    Because if they don’t care about the outcome, or they’ve got an outcome in mind, they would rather have the data just support whatever it is that they want to believe, rather than what it actually is.

    So in a lot of ways, data quality is equivalent to the level of data literacy within an organization.

    The more data literate an organization is, the more data literate that the decision makers are, the more likely it is that you’ll get them to invest in data quality and see it as not a cost center, but as an investment center, one that will pay dividends down the road because it will give you correct answers or better answers than poor quality data.

    In a an organization where data literacy is low, you’re going to see resistance to data quality efforts, a lack of understanding about why Data Quality Matters, and a raft of excuses about why they’re not investing in it.

    They don’t need to invest in it.

    And there’s no plan to to make any effort to improve data quality.

    So how do we resolve this? How do we prove the ROI of data quality? In the end, it comes down to the scientific method.

    Right? It comes down to Let’s run two experiments one where you have a data set, maybe you split the data set in half, you fix one half, you leave the other half alone and you demonstrate clearly here is the role and importance of data quality.

    If you do it right.

    You get this result if you do it wrong, get this result.

    And what a difference.

    There is.

    Real simple example, when you’re running For example, attribution analysis, in marketing, if you don’t clean out correlates, meaning variables that are highly correlated and, and strongly associated.

    It will really throw wrench into a machine learning algorithm that’s attempting to figure out what variables actually matter when it comes to whether somebody converts or not.

    So if you have number of characters in a tweet and number of words in a tweet, they’re gonna be highly correlated, because they’re coming from the same data.

    That will throw a false signal to an algorithm like extreme gradient boosting and it will assume that those two things are independent when they’re not sometimes and blow up your attribution analysis.

    You have to know that you have to know that that’s an issue.

    And so you can run an experiment Where you clean one half of the data set, you get rid of things like both karlitz.

    And you demonstrate, look, look how different the results are from the same algorithm from the same data set one half clean one half not.

    And it will be different.

    I have run into this many, many times, it’ll be substantially different.

    Another easy one to deal with near zero variables, variables have almost no variants, and are at or near zero in value.

    Again, this is something that regularly hoses, machine learning algorithms, trying to do things like attribution analysis.

    If you know that’s a problem, you can clean it out.

    If you don’t know that’s a problem, you end up with a bad analysis.

    So that’s how we prove the ROI of data quality.

    We show that just how big of a difference it makes in the eventual output from the system and show just how badly your decisions could go.

    If you do not invest in data quality.

    Good question.

    We could have a long conversation about this.

    But if you have follow up questions, leave them down.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Marketing Data Science Hypothesis Formation?

    You Ask, I Answer: Marketing Data Science Hypothesis Formation?

    Jessica asks, “I struggle with forming hypotheses. Do I need more data to get better?”

    Data probably isn’t the problem. A well-defined question you want the answer to is probably the problem. Consider what a valid hypothesis is, within the domain of marketing data science: a testable, verifiably true or false statement about a single condition. If you’re struggling, you may be:
    – questioning non-testable things
    – questioning more than one thing at the same time
    – questioning things which cannot be controlled
    – questioning things not based in prior knowledge

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Jessica asks, I struggle with forming hypotheses Do I need to get better data or more data? data probably isn’t the problem here.

    If you’re struggling with a hypothesis and with hypothesis formation or creation, the chances are that you’ve probably not got a well defined question.

    So remember, the first three steps of the scientific method are to ask a question that you actually want an answer to, to define the question, define what information you’ll need, what information you have, and then formulate a valid hypothesis that you can then test.

    A lot of the times when something goes wrong in data science, it is because we don’t have a well defined question.

    We have a question that maybe is idle speculation.

    We have a question that we don’t really have background in.

    And so we’ll create just making stuff up.

    And that obviously leads to terrible results.

    When it comes to hypothesis formation, consider what a valid hypothesis is, within the domain of marketing, data science, it is a testable, verifiably true or false statement about a single condition.

    There are in the scientific community, more broader definition of that, but for the purposes of marketing, data science and getting marketers to use the scientific method, that’s the definition we’re going to go with.

    So think about that statement, testable, testable, provably true or false statement about a single condition.

    What are the things that are going to go wrong? Obviously, trying to test multiple conditions, right.

    So if you submit a hypothesis like if tweets on Tuesdays and emails longer than 1000 characters, engage users, then we should see our bounce rates go down and our conversions go up.

    Right.

    There’s a whole lot going on in there.

    And that is impossible.

    Well, it’s not impossible.

    But it’s very difficult to to prove that statement.

    As opposed to saying, If email sent on Tuesdays, get more engagement than tomorrow’s email on Tuesday should get an increased engagement compared to an email sent on a different day.

    That is something is provably true or false about a single condition.

    We’re going to test sending an email on Tuesdays.

    So that’s one of the things that can go wrong.

    And it’s one thing that a lot of marketers assume is perfectly fine to do when it’s not.

    A second way your questions and your hypotheses go along as questioning things that can’t be controlled, right? testing things.

    Can’t be controlled.

    confounding variables confounding data are one of the biggest problems in marketing data science.

    If you are trying to do post hoc analysis, meaning that you’ve, you’ve got some data and now you’re trying to analyze, but you didn’t set up an experiment and you didn’t control the conditions around the experiment, it’s going to be very difficult to turn that into something usable.

    So let’s say you’re in Google Analytics, and you’re looking for a wide website traffic go down last month.

    That’s a good question.

    And you start coming up with all this analysis and theories about what happened to say your email marketing well, was the pay per click team doing something different? Was the social team doing something different with they running ads, it would be it’s much more difficult to do analysis after the fact rather than set up a properly controlled experiments.

    That’s number two.

    The things that will go wrong with your hypothesis is you don’t set up controlled events.

    To the extent that you can, obviously within large complex websites and other digital marketing channels.

    The third thing is questioning and trying to test non testable things.

    There are things you can’t test, because the data is not available, or because in many cases since, fundamentally in marketing, we’re dealing with human beings, there are some things that are so subjective, that you can’t really test them not.

    Well, not scientifically.

    A good example, everyone will fall in love at some time, right? Say your perfume company, everyone will fall in love at some time.

    Well, how do you define love, right? is such a subjective topic, that it’s really impossible to set up any kind of usable, testable, verifiable experiment because we wouldn’t be Be able to agree on what that is.

    Same for something as simple as temperature, right? Say it’s hot outside.

    Well, if you like cold weather, and your house is set at 58 in the wintertime, you clearly will think 70 degrees outside is hot.

    Another person who loves hot weather, maybe 95 out there like it’s warm, but it’s not hot.

    Like what? Okay, what’s hot 113 is hot for them in Fahrenheit.

    And so it’d be very difficult to test something like a statement like everybody loves hot weather.

    Well, how do you define hot? And the fourth way hypotheses go off the rails is testing things that are not based on prior knowledge.

    Again, a hypothesis is something you’re trying to test based on an assumption or guests that you’ve made, which comes from existing data in your head, right? I believe that red as a call to action works better than blue.

    So if we change the call to actions on our website from blue to red, we should see a 5% increase.

    That’s based in some kind of prior knowledge even if it’s a guess.

    But if you just start making things up, I believe that, you know, using images of dancing clowns will increase conversion.

    Yes, you could test that.

    But you’re questioning something is not based on prior knowledge and so it probably isn’t going to work out well.

    Generally speaking, when you’re dealing with hypotheses, more data will not improve your hypothesis.

    defining what data you need.

    Will being able to say if I believe that you’ll read improves conversion over blue, having information prior studies prior information, biology information about how the human eye proceed Color all those things would be useful data points to collect, assessing what percentage of the population you have and their demographics because color perception changes with age.

    Those are things that would be useful to have available as it’s not more data per se, it is being more clear about the data that you need.

    The best way to deal with hypothesis creation really is to look at that whole.

    Is this a provably true or false statement without a single condition? That’s where I would start.

    Most of the time.

    I would bet if your hypotheses aren’t working out, well, it’s because it is not in that format.

    The lesson we learned in high school or or secondary school was if then statements If This Then That.

    If red is more stimulating than blue, then changing the read the buttons on the website to read should result in higher conversion rates of 5% right? That’s the best way to start forming hypotheses, and get more comfortable with it.

    You Ask, I Answer: Marketing Data Science Hypothesis Creation?

    Jessica asks, “How will a data scientist create my model or hypothesis if they don’t know my business?”

    This is an excellent question. The short answer is: they can’t, not reliably. Not something you’d want to bet your business on. Data science is the combination of four things: business skills/domain knowledge, scientific skills, technical skills, and mathematical/statistical skills. The first two are often neglected in data science training.

    In the absence of domain knowledge, you’ll need to supply a subject matter expert.

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Jessica asks, How will a data scientist create my model or hypothesis if they don’t know my business? So the excellent question and actually one of the big problems facing data science machine learning artificial intelligence? The short answer is yes.

    There is no way to create a hypothesis, a way to create a model, no way to create a piece of code without knowing the business.

    Remember, the data science is fundamentally four different skills, right? It is business skills and subject matter expertise or domain experience.

    It is scientific skills.

    It is technical skills, and as mathematical skills, statistical skills.

    A lot of what people think of as data science tend to be overly heavy on the technical skills by a large margin and then mathematical skills.

    And those are important.

    You can’t do data science without those two, at the more complicated levels, but the scientific skills, hypothesis creation tends to not be taught a whole lot or taught very well.

    And the domain expertise and the subject matter expertise are something you really, you really can’t teach effectively in a generic data science course, or degree or whatever.

    And I know there’s a ton of them out there to get your data science certificate in six weeks.

    And what they’re teaching mostly is coding.

    But that’s a quarter of the puzzle, right? hypothesis testing.

    When you’re creating a hypothesis, it there’s three steps to it right there is you have a question you need an answer to you define the parameters of the question what data you’ll need, what information you need, and then you create a hypothesis which is a verifiably true or false statement on a single condition.

    Example.

    You’re about to do website AB test experiment.

    And you have a hypothesis.

    Well, you have a question like, what would make my website convert better? That’s a pretty broad question.

    What are all the things that go into conversions? Do your customer journey mapping, do your path analysis? Do your audience segmentation and demographics and now you’re starting to define the problem and you come down to we think that we’ve got a different audience from one channel in another.

    I think our Twitter audience is different than our LinkedIn audience.

    Okay, that’s a that’s a good definition of the problem.

    Now, how are you going to test that? What will you test to prove true or false that statement? But the question would be where the hypothesis would be, our Twitter audience converts better than our LinkedIn audience.

    That’s a really good hypothesis because you can prove it true or false.

    And it’s only testing one thing.

    So you will go to a landing page on your website, you would optimize as best you could.

    And then, with great tracking codes, you would send your Twitter audience that page, you would send your LinkedIn audience that page, you run the test for a sufficient amount of time, which you would determined by sample size calculation.

    And then after that, you would analyze the results and draw a conclusion that either one audience does perform better than the other.

    Neither audience performs better than the other, or that you messed up somewhere and you have to start over again.

    But you can see how if you didn’t have marketing, domain expertise, marketing skills, you might leap to the most naive conclusion.

    Well, let’s try changing the button color.

    Well, no.

    In this example, maybe you identified the audience was the problem.

    Remember going back to Bob stones 1968 direct marketing framework list, offer creation list is your audience.

    And you have to test these, you have to figure out where the problem is in these different areas.

    And so that’s where that domain knowledge is so important.

    And why you can’t do data science.

    Without it, if you try, you’re going to come up with either things that are very surface and they might make incremental improvements, right? If you change the button color on your website, it might perform a little bit better and might even be statistically relevant.

    But it’s not solving the big problem that you brought to it the big question, which is how do we make our website perform better? So, there is no substitute for domain knowledge and subject matter expertise.

    Now, does your data scientist need that? A data science project needs that but the individual person may not necessarily have to if you are a or you are or you have a skilled project manager.

    They can identify where the gaps are in those four areas and then bring in extra people on the project assuming you have the For it to supplement where your data scientists, scientists or science team might be lacking.

    So you might in the in the marketing case, you might have a data scientist who is technically skilled, mathematically skilled.

    You might have a project manager who is scientifically skilled and who can think how do we how are we going to set up this project to be statistically valid.

    And then you bring out a subject matter expertise, you bring in your VP of marketing or your marketing director and say, hey, what help us identify a question define the problem deeply, so that we know what to test and what will happen over time, as long as everybody gets along is that you will see cross pollination of skills you will get the project man but think even more statistically, or more technical, you’ll get the data scientist to think more business or more subject matter expertise to get the marketer to think about scientific testing of technical stuff.

    And that’s what you want.

    You want that team to become a cohesive unit to fulfill all four areas.

    Data Science.

    If you don’t have all that accessible, then your data science projects are not going to work, you need to have all four areas fulfilled, not necessarily the same person, but you need to have it in all four areas so that the project doesn’t go off the rails, so you don’t waste a lot of time and a lot of money.

    One of the reasons why data science projects, machine learning projects, artificial intelligence projects go off the rails is that you’re missing a key area.

    And you end up with a result that’s not usable.

    You end up with a conclusion that’s like, well, we tested we think, you know, poop emojis on Tuesdays work best Well, okay.

    The statistical side will say, Show me the statistical significance of that.
