    You Ask, I Answer: Leveraging Senior Executives for Content Marketing?

    Sandra asks, “How do I leverage senior leaders from our company, many of whom aren’t social or digital media savvy and pressed for time, for content marketing?”

    There are a few ways to handle this for maximum benefit to your company and minimum inconvenience; for leaders who want to really jump in, folks like T-Mobile’s John Legere are a great template. For others, Bill Marriott (of the Marriott hotel chain) are a good example. In today’s world, video is king, so start there. Watch the video for full details.

    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, Sondra asks, How do I leverage the senior leaders from our company, many of whom are not socially or digital media savvy, and pressed for time doing, you know, leadership things for content marketing? This is a great question.

    It’s a very common question, especially in the public relations space, because what tends to happen is you’ll get some initial interest to somebody read something on an airline magazine, right, or a leadership showcase piece in Harvard Business Review.

    And then we gotta do this.

    And then a week later, they’re like, pretty busy.

    And so there are a couple different ways to handle this now.

    For the leaders who really want to jump in a really good template for that is the work that john ledger at the CEO of T Mobile does, he is all in all the time.

    And for him, that’s his thing, like he’s responding on Twitter.

    And he’s got the team that helps respond on Twitter to monitor it.

    He is creating content like crazy, he built a cooking show, slow cooker Sundays, on Facebook Live and variety of other platforms, because that’s just the kind of thing that that fits his personality.

    So part of that is determining if any of your executives have the kind of personality where they do want to be all in what they do want to have exposure to their personal brand, and they’re willing to put in a lot of time for it.

    If I had to guess, based on what I can see and what I have known from working with TMobile in the past.

    For john ledger, it’s probably about eight hours a week, which for a CEO of a major corporation is he heck of a lot of time.

    Probably a better model to look at would be the way that bill Marriott and his team do it at the at the Marriott hotel chain.

    Bill is more see you’re executive.

    And he’s not technologically savvy at all.

    But what his team has figured out to do is to have him leave, he leaves them voicemails when he’s on the road when he’s traveling or whatever.

    And the team takes those transcribes them and turns them into the written content.

    And so they’re able to make use of his experience and his points of view without making him do a whole lot of work.

    And for him leaving a voicemail as he’s you know, wandering through an airport or whatever is a great use of his time.

    In today’s world video is king.

    So I would start with video.

    And the way I would do that is do it as q amp a sessions with your executives, depending on how many of them there are, there’s typically in you know, any given company has two or three at least bring a smartphone, because it’s a decent camera.

    These days, most phones, if it’s a phone that’s less than a year old, it’s probably got a pretty good camera, bring a real good microphone for that smartphone or alternately, a pocket digital recorder something like this.

    And you know, you literally park it right in front of the executive just below them.

    There are inexpensive microphones you can use as well.

    And what you want to do is you want to record video q amp a with that executive about your industry.

    So if you are, you know, industrial plastics, for example, and what are some of the major issues that are happening in the industry right now? How is the company approaching sustainability, you’ll want to come up with a list of questions and get them to the executives or their assistants or whoever, in advance to vet them and to make sure we’re not going to answer that one.

    You know, I can an industrial plastics company, like Now, we know that this products destroying the environment, but we’re not going to talk about that because we don’t have a plan to address it yet.

    So you’ll want to have those list of questions, and then do 30 minutes of q&a, maybe do one interview a month with the executive it is to say like yeah, it’s another 30 minute meeting on the calendar.

    We’re going to record it, just go go straight through.

    And then what you’ve got is a piece of gold there that uses what we call a trusted insights.

    The transmedia framework.

    So you take a piece of video.

    And now that piece of video, you you split out the audio, guess what now you’ve got audio that you can chop up into podcasts.

    Take that video, chop that up.

    Now you’ve got little things for Instagram stories or your Instagram newsfeed.

    You’ve got video for YouTube, that you can split up you can put headers and footers and you can do the intros and outros explain like Elena In today’s video, we’re talking about industrial plastics.

    Then you can take the mp3 file and send it to a transcription service, I use otter.ai o tt er.ai.

    And it will transcribe your audio and turn it into written raw content.

    And then you’ll take that, edit that slice that up, that becomes blog post, that becomes email newsletter content, if you’re really blessed to have executives who like to talk a lot and and say things that are valuable.

    Yeah, you can even potentially take all the transcripts and bundle them together as an E book or white paper or things like that.

    And by doing this, that one video becomes many, many pieces of content that you can use, that you can promote that you can load up with keywords and things, and really build out a huge library of valuable content that’s on topic on brand in the voice of the people who are speaking it.

    And it’s them, especially in the videos, you know, you can assure that like, Look, we’re not going to post the whole thing on on cut unless they want to.

    But more than anything, we’re going to post the chunks, the one or two minute chunks so that people can hear out.

    These folks really know what they’re talking about.

    They seem to know their business pretty well.

    What kinds of questions you want, ask questions that your customers are asking.

    So go into your customer service inbox, go into your comments on social media, go into the industry forum for your industry on Reddit, pull out questions that people actually have, and then get your executives point of view on how to on how those questions should be answered.

    So for example, in in machine learning, I answer questions all the time.

    Some of them are in in these videos.

    Some of them are newsletters and stuff, but we know the questions people are going to ask we know the questions that people want to know more about.

    answer those questions.

    And that way you and your executives never run out of content, right? You never ever run out of content.

    If you just say hey, we’re going to shoot a video as one and then you’re like, we don’t know what to shoot, you know, that’s going to frustrate executives pretty quickly.

    If you say hey, these are the top 20 questions that our customers have asked us how you want to answer them.

    That’s interesting to an executive and it even has a side benefit of helping the executive become more customer focused than they already are.

    Because they’re literally hearing the voice of the customer.

    So make sure that you’re pulling your these questions from real customers that have the have in the have a need for answers and that you have the answers for them.

    So that’s my recommendation for how you would leverage senior leaders for your company video them 130 minute meeting per month per executive do it separately do not do it in a group unless they don’t tell you to give them the option of also things like voicemails if they want you know or mp3 recordings, voice memos, whatever if they want to do that and base it all on what customers asking so that you never run out of content.

    If you have follow up questions, leave them below.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Duplicate Content on Social Networks?

    You Ask, I Answer: Duplicate Content on Social Networks?

    Travis asks, “Are there negative implications to publishing blog posts on LinkedIn that already exist in your site?”

    Generally speaking, if the content is inaccessible without logging in, it’s safe to duplicate from an SEO perspective. That means a fair amount of content on LinkedIn, anything non-public on Facebook, and if you use the rel=canonical features, even sites like Medium are safe to duplicate content. Be sure any links in your duplicate posts are tagged with UTM tracking codes appropriately. Watch the video for more details, including one human negative implication.

    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, Travis asks, Are there negative implications to publishing blog posts on LinkedIn that already exist on your site? You’re probably thinking about the older SEO idea of duplicate content, duplicate content, penalties and things. Those have not existed for some time. What google google in particular does now is evaluates content and decides which is the most authoritative version of all the versions that it can see. That means that, generally speaking, as long as you’ve got content on your site, and it’s there first, and your site is more authoritative than another site, that it will generally choose your site. Now, when it comes to social networks, in particular, social networks, like Facebook, like LinkedIn, and stuff, are, their content is non public, for the most part, if a piece of content is inaccessible, without logging it, meaning that if you can see a Facebook post without logging in, if you can see a LinkedIn post without logging in, that could be problematic, because from Google’s perspective, these sites are larger and more credible. However, if the content is something that you post, in a non public way, so like a friends only post on Facebook, something posted inside of a closed Facebook group, a closed LinkedIn group, LinkedIn post on your profile, and it is not visible without logging in, then it’s totally safe to do that. The easiest way to check startup, copy and paste the URL to your LinkedIn post startup, an incognito browser session or private browser session, paste that URL in and see if your post is accessible. If it says you should log in, you know, the world is better with LinkedIn or whatever the promotional messages these days, and and you can’t see that post, totally fine. So run a test to see if that is the case, run a test on any of your content on those sites to make sure that you’re not intentionally posting things that are supposed to be private, that are supposed to be restricted. Even some sites like thinking of medium in particular support in their posting what’s called the rel canonical feature, meaning you can specify in a medium post, hey, this post originally appeared over on your company’s blog. And in that case, you are telling Google explicitly, this is not the original, this is not the most authoritative, this is not the most credible, go to this other link to do that. And so that it would be totally safe to do. One thing that people can to do wrong, whether or not we’re talking about SEO implications is that if there are links in the original content, either those links are not tagged correctly with UTM posts with the UTM tracking codes, or they’ve got older ones, that if someone clicks on a link in the in the social network post will be Miss categorized in when the traffic comes to back to your website. So for example, if there’s a link to your homepage at the bottom of the article, and it’s and it’s, for some reason, has inherited an older tracking code that says it’s from an email, and you put that up on LinkedIn, and people click on it, that UTM tracking code will override where the traffic is coming from, and mess up your tracking. So make sure that when you publish content on these other sites, either that they don’t have any UTM tracking codes, or ideally, they have tracking codes that are unique to that site. So for example, if you were to copy and paste a blog post that had a link back to your homepage, the UTM tracking codes, the source would be LinkedIn, the medium would be social. But you might even specify the content code or campaign code, say, Hey, this is from my LinkedIn feed, or this is from a LinkedIn group or something like that. That way, you are certain to be tracking correctly. And giving credit to those efforts to be able to say this is where this comes from this this traffic this visitor, perhaps even this conversion came from our efforts, copying and pasting information on to LinkedIn. The only other negative implication that is possible in the situation is more of a human one. And it is that if you put everything but all your your stuff on a social network, what the incentive for the human to go and go to your website, if they know that it can be handed to them every day, do they really need to go to your website.

    And so the way around this is at the bottom of your posts, you may want to keep a running little copy double block of text that says hey, did you enjoy this post here are three more just like it or similar related or more in depth or whatever. That go back to your website to try and pull that traffic away from LinkedIn or Facebook or whatever, back to your website. Because at the end of the day, what you don’t want to do is you don’t want to have all of your eggs in one basket, you don’t want to have people so in love with your LinkedIn profile. And then LinkedIn changes its algorithm or Facebook changes its algorithm. And all that effort and time you put into building up that profile, kind of you lose that value, or you have to get out the credit card and start paying, paying the Piper. Generally speaking, make sure that there are calls to action and every piece of content that you post that sends people away from the social network back to something that you own your email list, your text messaging list, your website, your blog, landing pages, download something that you can use to capture information from that traffic and retain it in a format that you own. Right you own your email list. you own your text messaging list, you own your blog, you own the retargeting cookies, while not you don’t rely on those those advertisers provided. But those are things that you have, and they are not relying on an algorithm to make sure that something that you get in front of the people who have opted in to want to hear from you. So that would be the last more human negative implication. Make sure that you put good stuff on social networks, but not your best stuff. Right put your best stuff on police is that are yours. And so that once somebody gets the they look around, go, Hey, this is you know, it’s like a restaurant like you could set up a little pop up on the sidewalk, somewhere and the food’s pretty good. But then you say, hey, go to the restaurant. And people go to the restaurant like, wow, this is this is you know, your pop up was good. But this is really nice. I’m going to eat here. You want the same kind of reaction from people when they get to the media channels that you have control over? So great question, Travis. important question. duplicate content penalty doesn’t exist anymore. It’s just now search engines are choosing the most authoritative version. Make sure your website is the most authoritative.

    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 Mark asks, What’s your take on how AI is going to impact things like design, like with tools and technology, the gender of adversarial networks, things like UX research, and so on, so forth based on video that was going around on LinkedIn, by Michael Turnbull. So let’s look at a couple of practical applications of this, because there’s a lot of big ideas. But there’s not a lot of implementation things you can take pick up and run with. So on the topic of generative adversarial networks, one place to check out that shows you the power of again, is in videos, research labs. So if you go to the AI playground here, there are a couple of different tools that can show you how a generative adversarial network works, and what it does. Let’s go first to the scenery thing, tool. This is a tool where it’s called Gao gam were you in your best Microsoft Paint impressions attempt to put together sort of a mediocre drawing? So I’m going to do a very silly kids drawing sort of thing here. And you can see this is clearly in no way would anyone think, Wow, Chris, you’re really a fantastic

    artist, right? It’s just pretty mediocre. So let’s put in us put in a river to here, right?

    Nice little river going. So the drawing on the left is in no way going to be ever mistaken for fine art have, again, go ahead and attempt to compose a photo from it, you can see, you get this really nice sort of photorealistic look from what is an incompetent drawing, that wouldn’t, you wouldn’t, you wouldn’t ever put this in anything, you’d even hang out your refrigerator. So this is an example of AI using what it knows based on a very large training library and generating it this way. I think this is one of them powerful applications of AI for things like design and UX and such, because up until now, the toughest part of creativity was talent, right, you had to have talent, you had to have years of training to be able to paint well. Now, we’re getting to a point where a literally a child could could put together a very simple image. And an artificial intelligence can attempt to assemble using its own skills, but the intended outcome. So this is an example of where AI will remove the talent limitations to a large degree and let our ambition be the only blocking point for what it is that we want to accomplish. Another example is the ability to use AI to clean up imagery. So images and designs, things like that, I’m going to load in a picture here of my dog, right, my dog. And you can see there’s a flower pot on the right hand side of the screen here, I don’t really want that flower pot and seeing you again, using generator out of sale networks, it’s going to attempt to infer what should be there, right and get rid of that flower pot. That’s pretty impressive, right? The ability to go through and remove things from imagery. Now imagine if you’ve got people out in the field, who are doing clip art or doing photo shoots and stuff. And there’s something in the images that you don’t want there. Right. You could go and reshoot the whole thing. Or you could just use AI to clean it up for you. At some point, tools like this will become commercially available very, very easily. And again, you could spend hours and hours and hours trying to manually clean up objects that you don’t want in your photos. It could take a really long time. And there are people who do this professionally. Why Why not have machines do some of the clean up. Another example is on content generation. So this there’s a tool called gt to from open API that allows us to load in text and have it generate new text. I’ve published some articles and examples using tweets. This is another example. I took the content marketing world team took their Twitter account loaded in here and had the software generate, I think 20 25,000 different tweets. Now some of these are clear Mrs. like yoga from fidget spinners, right? makes absolutely no sense. But this is also relatively on tuned model. One of the things that will become very, very prominent in the next year or so is the aggressive use of what’s called active learning where machines will put out a few outputs at a time. Assign a probability like yeah, this is this was a good one. This I’m not sure about for the ones this is not sure about going raise his hand say hey, human is yoga for fidget spinners, a good tweet. And we as humans will say I’ll and give feedback to the machine and it will then go back and retune over and over and over again. But instead of the the way is done now where you have very large, big neural network projects that get just tries to do the thing all at once. And then you come out sometimes with salad.

    It will allow us to ask the allow the machines to ask us, hey, before I invest too much in this, what do you think of this? What do you think of this and unlike the task of manually tagging and training models that we’ve done up to this point, which requires a lot of tagging, active learning will allow us to do it. iterative Lee with very, very few samples like hey, here’s 10 tweets, which one doesn’t make sense. Or here’s 10 ads that the machine has generated using image generation, which which visual do you like best, and now the human can go through and select them. And tune that up very, very quickly. So this is an example of using a transformer with a different type of neural network to generate a lot of content. Yet another one, this is a service called Eva. Eva allows you to relatively in a relatively straightforward format, choose some type of musical format, do your hyper parameter optimization, which is a nice way of saying change the settings and create music. What do you use this for? Well, of course, if you are a company that wants to generate, that needs to use music for things like videos, advertising, YouTube, right, and you don’t want to incur the wrath of copyright lawyers by using music that you don’t have, right, so you will use artificial intelligence to generate now, is any of this going to win a Grammy? No. Is it good enough for background music video? Yes, by far, it is good enough for speeches for intro videos on screen, you just pick the style and let the machine do the work. Again, this is a case of where ambition is the only limitation you don’t need the talent anymore. Now will there? Is there still a place for humans Of course, this is good enough. It is not great. It’s not amazing yet, right? It won’t get there eventually. But for today, we’re talking about practical applications that you can be using right now. To improve your design, your marketing, creative, there are plenty of tools that are available that are out there that you can run either in a web browser or right on your your desktop computer, and get a sense of this is really what works. One last example. That is one of my favorites, is the ability for us to to understand what’s working. And this is in Michaels video as well. Michaels video talked about being able to do testing Well, one of the my favorite things to do, because I have no life is to be able to understand on a website, what content is working best. And this is a service from my company called most valuable pages or MVP, using the type of machine learning to look at the journey somebody takes on a website and analyze and say these are the pages you need to focus on. Because they are the ones that help conversions the most. This type of feedback helps UX UI design, to know where to focus their efforts and helps understand the content. And then you can even deploy the same type of technology for what sources are sending you the most traffic, things like that. There are versions that will even allow you to identify, look what features on a page might be important. This type of machine learning again, all this runs on a laptop. We’re not talking about a million dollars of hardware sitting in a server room somewhere as long as you have the technical talent to implement it, or a company that you work with this will get you results. So great question mark lots to unpack. There’s so much opportunity right now for marketers with AI and it is nearly limitless.

    You Ask, I Answer: Nudging Blog Visitors to Convert?

    Ashley asks, “How do I get my blog subscribers to opt in to my other subscription So I can get them nurtured and moving down my funnel?”

    Let’s assume a blog subscriber is someone who has subscribed to your RSS feed, so they receive your blog posts automatically by either RSS or emails notifying them of a new blog post.

    Common tactics I recommend for increasing the power of your blog include:

    • Hardcoded blog footer recommending people subscribe/opt into email and other offers
    • “You may also enjoy” technology
    • Exit popups
    • Retargeting – check out StackAdapt here: https://www.trustinsights.ai/stackadapt (affiliate link for my company)
    • Blog content in multiple formats like video and audio

    This is all predicated on one key assumption: your blog and content are worth subscribing to and so valuable that people desperately want more.

    In today’s episode, Ashley asks, How do I get my blog subscribers to opt in to my other subscription so I can get them nurtured and moving down my phone. This is a guest using the HubSpot system because they they call these things subscriptions. Let’s assume that a blog subscriber is someone who has subscribed to your RSS feed. So they receive your blog posts automatically by RSS feeds, or by emails notifying them of a new blog post. Some common tactics to get people to do more once they’re on your website. Once they’re on your blog, and you want them to go other places or do other things. There’s, there’s a whole bunch, not one immediately that you should have in place is tagging and tracking for retargeting and remarketing, you can use Google’s built in remarketing technology for a Google AdWords or Google Ads has it’s called now that given any visitor on your website, you can pass that data to Google ads and show those folks either YouTube ads display ads, remarketing ads on search listings, but whatever the cases, you will, you definitely want to do that. You’d want to have the same type of tagging and tracking with pixels for Facebook, ads for Instagram ads for Twitter ads, wherever your audience is, you want a retargeting technology in place, you may want to look at native retargeting, we use a company called stack adapt, can check for a link in the show notes to a link to them. That for display and native retargeting as well, in terms of other things that you can do on site. One that has been very successful for me over the years is having a hard coded widget. In I use WordPress, you’ve been using WordPress for this, that recommends people subscribe to the blog, or the podcast or whatever it is that you want people to do. For me, it’s my email newsletter. And that’s a piece of code that goes in the blog itself. And when it renders when someone visits the website, it turns into a whole block of text. I don’t know on HubSpot system of if that same functionality is available, but I imagined is. And the reason that’s valuable is that there are a lot of other sites out there that will syndicate blog feeds. If you’re going to syndicate my content, sometimes without my permission, you’re going to get my ads too. So making sure that those are embedded in the text of your blog content. One that is very powerful is recommender systems. So this is we, on any website, particularly shopping websites, like Amazon, always say you may also enjoy using great analytics, my companies trusted insights offers this is a paid service called the most valuable pages, identifying the content that on your blog helps move people towards conversions that by your Google Analytics data determined by your goals, making sure that those pages that help conversion the most are best optimized. Now if you’re just getting your blog started, there won’t be a whole lot of data to work with. But definitely if your blog has like a year’s worth of posts, you definitely want to use something like that look into things like exit pop ups. So an exit pop up is a pop up that appears on screen when somebody moves their mouse or taps or whatever, or scrolls back up and gets within I believe it’s like 10 or 15 pixels over the top of the page, when they go to navigate away from your blog, that’s when you pop up and say hey, before you go, subscribe to whatever. If you’re going to use an entrance pop up, I will use one that appears after like 95% some of the content has been read so that you’re not interrupting somebody’s workflow in terms of being able to read the content that you’ve put together for them. And another thing is, I would make sure that your blog content is available in multiple formats video audio, like we’re doing here. Certainly, there are some great tools and great natural language programs. Amazon’s polity is a really good one where you can take the text, your blog content, feed it to poly, and it will generate an audio file of a machine reading it aloud. For those folks who like to enjoy content in different formats and have any preference for a different format. It’s It’s not bad, especially if you’ve done these other steps and you have a hard coded hard written example of you know, call to action like hey, if you enjoy this content, please subscribe to our newsletter. Having Polly read that out loud, make sure that people who are who are listening to your content if if that’s a choice they want to make

    is available and it gets into their ears as well. So a few really simple tactics to get rolling. The critical thing though, is this is all predicated on one key assumption. And that is that the blog content is worth reading is worth subscribing to and so valuable that people desperately want more. You know, you know, when you’re doing it, right, when if you accidentally miss a day or skip a day or skip a regularly published episode of your content, people email you or tweet at you or or dm you and say, Hey, where’s the thing? Right? Remember, one week I’ve I was on I was traveling, and I didn’t set up my newsletter. And I got emails from people saying, Hey, I didn’t see the newsletter, my inbox this week. Okay, cool. That tells you that you’re on the right track if nobody ever says Hey, where’s the thing? your content isn’t, isn’t there yet. So while these techniques in tactics are important, it is equally important to make sure that your content is insanely valuable to people but that they that it educates that it entertains that engages them the three E’s of content, if it isn’t.

    focus your efforts on that first, make sure that it is so good that people like it, that they share it that they talk to you about it. That it is something that they desperately want more of. So but those are those are some starting techniques. And if you’re interested in that most valuable content service let me know happy to just leave a note comments or DM me. As always, if you have additional questions, leave them in the comments below. Please subscribe to the YouTube channel and the newsletter. I’ll talk to you soon.

    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 we are reviewing the IBM Watson studio new feature called auto AI or auto automated artificial intelligence. Now, before we begin full FTC disclosure is my company trust insights is an IBM registered business partner. We receive compensation for any purchases you make from IBM through US and US I receive indirect financial benefits. So FTC closures disclosures out of the way, auto AI is a type of automated machine learning which promises to help companies get to working artificial intelligence models faster given the data set, instead of the time it takes to go from data cleaning, prep, feature engineering, hyper parameter, optimization, model experimentation, and then to production that can depending on your data set, take a really long time.

    By the way, I promises to help companies do that in less time. Now, before we begin, there are both features and disadvantages of this approach. There is even though it can be very manual and tedious, there is some benefit. I’ve actually personally, there’s a ton of benefit to manually editing and cleaning your data set of

    and doing the feature engineering because it helps you get to know your data. And so if it’s something as mission critical, at least the first time through, you want to have a human do that after that, absolutely use automated machine learning. And one of the questions that people have had over over the last few months is, you know, will this replace data scientists know, and we’ll talk a bit more about that. But it’s not going to replace data scientists anytime soon. It will help data scientists workload get a little bit easier for the most common types of machine learning models. So let’s get into the environment.

    What we see here is Watson studio, and I’m going to fire up a an auto AI experiment. And we’ll do we’ll call this something auto test something. They’re really exciting.

    And our first experiment where you see here, you can add in testing data that we are adding training and data I’m going to throw in, let’s, let’s do some Google Analytics data, right? Google Analytics data is a rich source of information. And it’s something that a lot of marketers have access to. So this is going to be things like users and sessions and balances, and I have goal completion. So that’s what I want.

    All the way I’d help me do is help me understand, maybe a little bit better. What gets goal completions for my Google Analytics data?

    See, I dropped the data set in and asked me what do you want to predict? What do you want to know more about Of course, I want to know more about goal completions. Now here’s a bit of a landmine in this because

    Of the Way goal completions are structured is data set by pages, you know, one or two goals per page. So, auto a, I said, Hey, I think you’re trying to do a multi class classification. I’m actually not. This is again, why you can’t fully replace the data scientists with these software packages, because this is not a classification problem. This is a regression problem.

    So choose that I can choose the error metric, which again, if you are a data scientist, these mean a lot to you, if you’re not a data scientist, just go with whatever is recommended.

    But

    this is a case where that was not the correct prediction type. So it’s going to run the experiment. And what you’ll see next is if the entire pipeline of what Watson is going to do with this data, it’s going to read it, it’s going to split it into three pieces. Generally speaking, when you’re doing model testing for AI you’re going to do you’re going to split your data into three pieces. 60% of it

    Going to give them machine it’s going to try and learn from that and figure out, oh, well, this is your date, I’m going to try and learn what the patterns are, there’s 20% of it is going to be called test data. So once the machine first figures out, okay, I think this and this lead to conversions, it’s going to take the next 20% of the data set and test that, that conclusion out, see if that is is is true or not. And then there’s a third 20%, where it’s going to test the testing of the conclusion. This way, you avoid or you reduce the likelihood of what is called overfitting, where you make a prediction, that’s perfect. But then, when new data comes in, it goes off the rails. So it’s a split the holdout data, read the training data, do its own attempt at cleaning the data as best as it can.

    None of the automated machine learning tools, zero of them on the market, do a really good job of cleaning data perfectly. Right? That’s still the data that goes in still

    has to be good. And if it’s not good and it’s not in good shape models will simply not work. And this is true of Google auto ml. This is true of h2o Auto Mel This is true of IBM auto AI, it doesn’t matter whose system you’re using garbage in, garbage out, that’s going to be the truth forever just garbage. So, it then goes and chooses a model what kind of machine learning model would best fit this data?

    We see here it is chosen x g boost regressive. So extra boost is one of those popular algorithms that can help find

    what is likely causing regression or what it runs a regression model x g boost,

    which stands for extreme gradient boosting is probably the the most popular machine learning model for doing any kind of regression to one a bunch of cackle competitions and it’s just one in the toolkit. Now this is where auto AI has some real benefit for

    People who are trying to learn data science, I think this is a fantastic learning tool because you can see the choices it makes. And if you’re not familiar with the choice, and you go look it up and read up on it, but if you see the choice that makes any figure, okay, that’s an interesting choice. Why did it choose that? As it’s going through, you can see here on the on the bottom, as it makes each pipeline of learning, it tells you why it made those choices. So ranking based on the error that click on this pipeline data, you can see how it evaluated the model, the R squared error model information and the feature importance what it thinks is most likely to predict goal completions. And now it’s going to go through a few stages of really the the machine learning experimentation the exploratory process. So the first thing is to is hyper parameter optimize optimization.

    Hyper parameter optimization is you

    Really, really fancy way of saying it’s going to play with the settings. So an extra boost algorithm has a bunch of settings. It’s like It’s like an app on your phone. Right? An app on your phone has settings, you can make this you know the the app louder, we can turn off notifications or stuff.

    A machine learning model is a piece of software. And therefore what it’s doing now is it’s testing it’s running simulations to test. Okay, what if I turn the brightness up on this

    an extra boost to be like, How many? How many runs? Am I going to do? How many times Am I going to try this thing? How many different splits the data we’re going to make? Out of the box? You know, there are certain defaults in that and then what the software is doing is testing all of the defaults to see, do we get better error rates out of this test based on trying out different settings, once it does hyper parameter optimization is going to do feature engineering. And this is where

    I’ve given this feedback to IBM, I think there’s a little bit of a bit of a misnomer. It does feature extraction. feature engineering is a five part process, right? So you have things like extraction, where it’s going to try and create new features from the existing data, which is exactly what this does. By doing things like multiplying columns together or dividing columns or adding or subtracting. There’s a part of feature engineering that called feature creation that we bring in net new data from the outside, it does not do that. So there’s only a limited type of feature engineering. And then it does another round of now that’s got more data to work with because it’s created these imputed columns to do another round of hyper parameter optimization. Now this will take probably 10 or 15 minutes, so we’re just going to pause here and and let it do its thing and come back when it’s finished baking.

    We’re back it’s been a little more than an hour.

    And what we can see here is that Watson has gone through and created four different machine learning pipelines, one with just a straight x g boost algorithm, one with some hyper parameter optimization, that tuning of all the knobs and dials on the different extra boost models. One with feature engineering done, and one with a second round of hyper parameter optimization after the feature engineering is done. So let’s take a look at see what what we see here we have four different pipelines. And with each of the enhancements, there’s the straight, I just analyze the data that you gave me and built a model on it. And then we see pipelines three and four have identical outcomes. The same route means squared error rate. One has feature engineering and hyper parameter optimization one has both. Let’s take a look at pipeline forces has the most number of things that have happened to it. We’ve got a small r squared. We’ve got the model information. We have a whole bunch of feature training

    formations that have happened. You see it through here, there’s all these PCA that stands for

    principal component analysis. It’s a way of reducing the number of total features because it means essentially, there’s too many for the machine to find a good conclusion from. And then of course, additional engineered features users, the difference free users and sessions and so on and so forth. So let’s go back and look at compare now at the quote number one model, which is pipeline three

    yc pipeline three has the about the same art actually does have identical r squared,

    same feature transformations

    as the previous one.

    And here it’s saying that new feature to which is the difference between users and entrances is the most important feature as moderately important with the score of point 31. for determining what, what drives or what predicts goal completions.

    My Google Analytics data now if we were to look at let’s in fact look at what this similar setup would look like in a different programming language. This is a the language are and you can see in h2o which is the auto machine automated machine learning model that runs inside of our one of many do the exact same thing. There’s your your training the split data, there’s your testing this you’re running your models, then there’s the leaderboard with comparison of the different types of outcomes came up with and its outcome, which was averaged one page sessions and average session duration. Know what’s missing here. None of the hyper parameter optimization or the feature engineering has been done on this The h2o is auto ml literally just takes what you give it and it does its best, but it doesn’t do any of those extra steps. So what do you do with this right? You’ve got this thing what now what what what happens? You save this as a model

    Inside your, your Watson studio environment and then you deploy the model using Watson machine learning that gives you a an API connection that you can then send additional data into this for and have the it score and predict like yes, will this convert or no will this not convert. And from that information, you would then build software, maybe build a special chatbot on your website that only pops up when certain conditions have been met, the ones that we see here, in in these models, maybe you use this to change your marketing strategy, if you know that the difference between users and Sessions is important in this model, maybe you use that information to figure out what kind of user what kind of

    or what type what kind of

    person or session is happening on your website, that you can then build additional features on your website, maybe different copy depending on what you can come up with.

    So this is a useful tool for getting that model into into production. And being able to make use of it being able to, to hop, operationalize a lot of a lot of these insights.

    There are still gaps. There are still things that I personally would have done differently.

    But there are also things he has like, Huh, I never thought about doing that. So this is not only a good tool for getting your model into production, but also for learning from it and going okay, well, maybe, maybe I need to think differently about the types of data I include, we see that Watson is doing a lot of these mathematical operations on different variables. Okay, what if we include more variables? What if we include different variables? What if we pull more data out of Google Analytics or your Salesforce CRM or your HubSpot instance, or your social media monitoring tools doesn’t matter what but putting more data in will let the model have

    More to work with now.

    As you said at the beginning, this does not in any way replace a data scientist, there are still gotchas, there are still things that it can’t do within this, this framework there even still things that from a, a modeling perspective may not be the best choice of what’s available. For example, if you want to determine what drives conversions, there’s a particular model that I use a lot for trust insights customers called Markov chains. It’s not available in here. It’s not available in here and it’s something you have to build by hand. And that is a better way of doing attribution analysis. But this is not bad. But there are limitations to what auto AI can do. So

    takeaways.

    One, regression classification built right in no code. This is that’s a I think an important thing.

    Does those basic data science has like feature extraction or hyper parameter optimization? I think those features are really useful for someone who’s learning data science. Someone who knows what kind of general outcome they want, they just want the machine to go through and build it quickly.

    some disadvantages, obviously, you’re limited in the number of models. Watson auto way I can choose from there are limitations. Your data has to be good going in. You can you’ve seen here, even though it doesn’t feature engineering, it doesn’t preparation, it does not validate. Wow, this is really dumb data. Right? For example, at no point did it say, you know,

    those are not the columns, Google Analytics, I would choose. The system simply doesn’t know that doesn’t have the domain expertise. You still have to provide that domain expertise, you still have to provide those insights. And the last thing, which I know according to the team, is coming at some point is the ability to go back and tune the model at any

    In a more granular way, it’s not available in the platform yet. So

    should you use this? It’s worth a try, especially since you can try it for free. If you go to IBM data platform data platform, cloud, IBM com, sign up for a free account, try it out, test it, see how it works. There are other features within Watson studio, you can also test out and try out.

    Am I going to use this to replace all the work that I do trust insights? No.

    But am I going to use this situationally as another tool in the toolkit? Absolutely. It’s one of those things that is worth doing, even if just to validate my own models to be able to look at it like when I’m looking at my, this auto ml model is did i do enough to engineer the data? The answer in this case? Probably not. Right? There are some more things that even I can learn from an add new features to the data sets that I already work with. So if you’re learning data science and

    A great tool, if you know what you’re doing great tool. If you want to learn this great tool, give it a try doesn’t cost anything to get started. And again, back to FTC disclosure, we are an IBM registered business partner. So if you’d buy something from IBM through us, we do gain. We do have financial benefit.

    Sentiment analysis continues to substantially improve in machine learning, in natural language processing, as our technology improves. We’ve gone from very simple, frequently wrong approaches such as bag of words to very fast, complex systems like vectorization, all the way to the state of the art with deep learning methods. Additionally, new techniques and methods like active learning help our models get better and faster.

    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, Dennis asks, How do you think AI will be applied to better understand consumer sentiment? sentiment analysis is a field where it’s part of machine learning, it’s part of natural language processing. And it is, it has changed and improved substantially in the last year, we have seen some major leaps forward in machine learning when it comes to being able to do more with language generate language, to be able to recreate very human like language, our technology has vastly improved. Just as a bit of history, machine learning and natural language processing used to be very primitive, the most common methodology used back in the old days, like two years ago, was like bag of words where you would have certain words, those words would have sentiments attached to them. There’s a very famous natural language processing libraries that did this, where you’d have words like hate versus love. And that approach was OK, ish. But it really did a poor job of understanding any kind of context, you could, you could say things like, I love the club, baby seals, right? That would be a positive sentiment. But we know every human perspective, that’s that’s a pretty awful negative kind of thing. More has changed on that front bag of words, it’s still used by a lot of software, particularly in the marketing space. But it is, it is largely dedicated by people who are doing natural language processing work. More complex stuff is stuff like vector ization, where you have technology that understands not only the word, but the context around it, the mathematical co occurrences of words, you could say, you would be able to see things that I don’t love, or I don’t hate, and have them be treated as contiguous entities, rather than separate, discrete words. And with vector ization, that then opens up the path to really complex language models, using deep learning methods where machines understand and part and process at the word level, at the phrase level, at the sentence level, paragraph level, and ultimately, the document level understanding how the relationships between these different entities change and grow over time. And that’s where natural language processing today is doing a fantastic job. By having those multiple levels of understanding, we can get very close to truly understand the context of what somebody writes in, like consumer view, or what they say in a video, or what they said in an email, or what someone noted in a CRM, that natural language processing is as really advanced. And there are some newer tools, even newer tools today, things like active learning that are helping, our models get better much faster, because instead of writing a model, and then just being done with it, the machines now are flagging things where they say this, this is a low probability, low confidence entry here, and it will raise his hand say, human help me interpret this, you score this one, you score this exception to most of the rules I’ve come up with. And then it’ll reintegrate our feedback. And use that to keep training improving as models. So active learning, really helping change and improve the game for natural language processing. Which leads you to the logical question, why are we not seeing this progress in marketing tools? Why is it that so many marketing tools are still stuck in 2005, or 2010? When it comes to a lot of these techniques? Well, the answer is cost. And it’s, there’s a couple of different dimensions of cost. One is the cost to include techniques like this in your software, you need someone who knows how to write this code. And that’s a big part. But a bigger part and a part that isn’t talked about a lot is compute cost. Doing deep learning requires big heavy hardware, like GPUs to process quickly, and that the cost of that is starting to come down. But it is still fairly expensive to run that type of compute compared to a bag of words approach, which is a very cheap form of compute. Which means that if you are a software vendor that is making SAS based software, which is the majority of marketing tools, Software as a Service, there’s nothing you download, there’s nothing against all you just go to a website and it and you put in your credentials, and it does the thing.

    in an environment like that, companies have a mandate to keep compute as cheap as possible. So that it scales to as many users as possible. If you have very expensive compute techniques, you can get a slow application very, very soon sooner than you expect. And so those two things, lack of knowledge, and the scalability, are really prohibiting the inclusion of these techniques in major mainstream marketing tools. Now, I think over time, that will change as compute costs continue to drop year after year. And then it’s just the lack of knowledge. And that I think, will eventually be overcome by startups, disrupting spaces. And then being bought by the big players and having the the startup technology integrated into the big players, tools and techniques, that you can get a jump on this by building your own software by building your own tools. Because what is computationally expensive for a software company to deploy to millions of users, is computationally very cheap for you or me to run on a laptop. Right? If you have a modern laptop, and you have the your own natural language processing code, is it a big deal for you to run a piece of software that does natural language assessment in 10 or 15 minutes now you do that your computer gets warm, the fans run a little bit and you go out maybe get a cup of coffee or something come back and and it’s done. That’s not a big deal to us. That’s a huge deal. That’d be a business ending problem for a software company. But for you and me, because we are effective distributing the problem across many computers, I do my version on my computer, you do your version on your computer, it’s not a big deal. So if you want to get a jump on competitors, if you want to get a jump on software companies waiting for them to catch up. Just close that knowledge gap by hiring by creating by buying the software to run in house, on your machines to do this kind of processing, and then you’ll have your answers way before anybody else. So give that some thought. give that some thought. This is a good question Denison it how do we apply this technique? It’s pretty obvious once you understand the consumer sentiment, you can use that information to change what you’re doing let’s make people unhappy and do more of the things that make people happy. That’s that’s the the the use case for consumer sentiment. The hard part is getting accurate sentiment. But good question. As always, please leave your comments in the comments box below.

  • You Ask, I Answer: Augmented Analytics Viability?

    You Ask, I Answer: Augmented Analytics Viability?

    Michael asks, “Have you heard of augmented analytics (defined by Gartner)? It seems to me it means your job will get easier in the short run and you’ll be out of business in the long run – if you believe it. I’d be interested in your comments on it.”

    Augmented analytics is what the rest of the world calls automated data science. It holds a lot of promise, but there are a few problems with it right now. There are four aspects to the feature engineering part of data science. Some can be automated easily; others will require significantly more research before fully automated solutions are viable. Watch the video for full details.

    Subsets of feature engineering:

    • Feature extraction – machines can easily do the one-hot encoding, but things like labeling are tricky (limited label data and active learning are helping)
    • Feature estimation and selection – machines very easily do variable/predictor importance
    • Feature creation – a subset of feature engineering – is still largely a creative task
    • Feature imputation – also a subset of feature engineering – is knowing what’s missing from a dataset (MOC)

    These are difficult to automate tasks. Will they ever be? Probably. But not for a while, especially the latter parts which require significant domain expertise. For the most valuable models, these will become automated, but there are tons of models for which it will take a while, if ever, for them to be made.

    In today’s episode, Michael asks, have you heard of augmented analytics as defined by Gartner, it seems to me it means your job will get easier in the short run, and you’ll be out of business in the long run. If you believe it, I’d be interested in your comments on it. So I took a look at the article that Michael had shared about augment analytics. And fundamentally, after you read through it is it is, as consulting firms are often doing is they’re they’re branded spin their branded name on something very common. augmented analytics is what the rest of the world calls automated data science, the ability to use machine learning and AI technologies to take a data set and transform it and do a lot of the analysis and insights generation from that data set. automated data science is it holds a lot of promise. But the challenge is in when you look at the data science lifecycle, there is a stage which they say in the article, your data preparation is 80% of the data scientists work. And it’s his mundane work, which isn’t really true.

    That’s something that said often by people who are not data scientists,

    feature engineering as a subset of that is probably the most important part. So there’s really, we think about there’s there’s sort of three parts to this section of data science there is getting the data, there’s cleaning the data, and then there’s preparing the data for usage, getting the data, yes, something that is automated, should be automated. Because pulling data out of API’s and things is a very, very programmatic process. And it should be cleaning the data. Again, something that can be automated to some degree. There are a number of good machine learning tool libraries that can help you clean your data. The hard part is the preparation of the data. And this is done it processes called feature engineering. And feature engineering simply means finding ways to make the data set more valuable and more useful for machine learning modeling. And there’s four parts to it that are important.

    There is feature extraction, which is when you are creating features, or you’re doing processing on features, I should clarify a feature is nothing more than a dimension. If you think about in Google Analytics, for example, there are dimensions and metrics, metrics, so the numbers dimensions that they aspects. So metrics are how many visitors? Did you get your way? Your website? dimensions are which website? Which sources did they come from, like Facebook, or email, and so on, so forth. dimensions are not numbers, metrics are numbers. So when we’re talking about feature engineering, we’re talking about engineering, additional dimensions and metrics from the dimensions and metrics you already have. So for example, in a tweet, a dimension would be the date, right, and you could engineer additional things from that date, such as the year, the month, the day, the day of the year, the day of the month, the day at the quarter, and so on and so forth. Simple feature extraction like that, or what’s called one hot encoding, which is an aspect of turning words into numbers. So if you had a database of days of the week, Sunday would become one and Monday would become a two and so on so forth. That stuff, yes, machines can easily automate it. And it’s something that machines absolutely should do. When it comes to feature extraction, those things like labeling get very tricky. Again, marketers see this a lot and things like sentiment when you try to assess is a tweet positive, neutral and negative? Well, there’s a lot of judgment that goes into that kind of labeling and machines are getting better at it, but still not great at it. And when you have limited label data, especially for more complex data sets, yes, again, our machine learning algorithms like active learning that are starting to help, but they are still very, very limited in what they can do. For example, labeling your data, is it customer service, sweet, this is a sales tweet, is this an advertising related tweet, who should this tweet go to using Twitter stuff as an example, because it’s very easy to, to see the applications, those labels are not something that a machine comes out of the box and knowing how to do and you have to provide that labeling. The second aspect of feature engineering is called estimation and selection. what features are relevant to the modeling you’re trying to do if you’re building a machine learning model, and you just throw all the data at it, you’re going to have exponential amounts of compute time required in order to be able to understand, like, have the model run correctly. So that’s something again, machine can very easily do that kind of estimation and selection. And that is something that you absolutely should not attempt to do. And

    the third and fourth aspects of the ones where augmented analytics, as Gartner calls it, or automated data science, really start to run into trouble. feature creation, which is a subset really, of extraction, in many ways, is largely a creative task. What features should we create just because you can create day or week or month, should you? Right? If estimation, selection is about winnowing down the features to the ones that are useful for a model, creation is adding new ones and knowing which ones to add and which ones not to add what’s relevant, what’s not relevant. So So very, again, creative tasks, that machines will be able to, at some point, do a sort of a general best practices version, but will be difficult for them to come up with all the possible combinations, at least until has permissions have much larger data sets to work with. And we build those active learning algorithms. The fourth one is one where I think machines have a significant amount of trouble and will for a long time, and that is feature amputation. This is when you look at a data set, knowing what’s missing from it. So recently, I was looking at marketing over coffees, podcast data, and I want to run some machine learning models to figure out what drives things like downloads or episode popularity. And I had Google Analytics data and I had our podcast, download data. And I had search data and I had social media sharing data. And I forgot one, I forgot to get the subscriber data from feed burner,

    which is a pretty big mission clearly was not the was not having enough coffee that day.

    I had to know from my domain experience, so that data set was missing.

    That’s something that machines are will have a very difficult time doing. And yes, for the most valuable, most important models, it is likely that machines will be able to baselines, you know what general best practices, hey, these features should be in a data set like this. But that’s a long way off. And that’s only going to be for the most valuable data sets, if you’re trying to build a a podcast importance machine learning model. That’s not super valuable right now. And so there is no out of the box template that a machine could automatically pick up and run with. So that domain expertise, that knowledge, that experience is very difficult to automate, very costly to automate. And the ROI may not be there. And you would be better off having a data scientist with some generalized broad experiences of what goes into different types of models. Being able to provide that feature invitation, so is augmented analytics, or automated data science gonna put us all out of business now, not for not for a while. And by a while I’m talking, you know, five or 10 years, at a minimum.

    machine learning models and AI models will keep getting better, and they will keep making a lives easier. But there’s still a long way to go. Even with some of the most powerful new tools in the marketplace, like auto AI from IBM, and auto ml from h2o, there’s still a substantial amount of feature engineering that needs to happen up front. And it is as much an art as it is a science, which is frustrating for people like me who like to have processes that you just this is the best practice, just do it. No, the best practice gets you the minimum level of competence for any given task, and then you have to add value on top of it. The good news is, for all of us who are domain experts in our various fields, and occupations are our experience and our perspective. And our ability to think creatively. Still matters and will still matter for quite some time to come. So great question, Michael, very, very detailed question. Important. important to understand these distinctions to why automated data science will not just be a magic push of a button. And I could go on for hours about all the different examples where this fall is down. So but that is the short answer.

    You Ask, I Answer: Evaluating Google Analytics Segments

    Andrea asks, “How can you determine what segments to evaluate in Google Analytics?”

    If – and this is a big if – you have the segments you want to evaluate set up in Google Analytics, and you have goals and goal values defined, then you can evaluate segments based on their business impact. Watch this video for a walkthrough of the evaluation process, including what to do with segment information after you’ve decided which segment you want to investigate further.

    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, Andrea asks, How can you determine what segments to evaluate in Google Analytics?

    So segments, the reason segments are important is that they give us the ability to look at a very specific part of our social media audience or any of our audiences anywhere digital marketing audiences.

    Who’s in that audience? And what do they do? How did they behave?

    So

    how do you determine which segments to look at? Well, the first place and start is for what segments Do you have installed? So in Google Analytics, let’s switch over to the display here. In Google Analytics, there are a series of different choices here, such a system, custom shared, etc. The default that everybody comes with is the system segments. So things like bounce sessions

    They came in they left converters, people who’ve completed some kind of goal. You have a direct traffic room, Google doesn’t know what to make of it. mobile traffic based on the device type, multi session users, which is, oddly enough, should be functionally the same as returning user. new users non bounce, non converters, organic traffic, which is organic search, paid traffic performed a site search. So there’s a whole bunch of things that are built into the interface. Now, what you’ll notice is that a lot of the things that you would want to know about your digital marketing are not included here. So for example, there is no segment for people who read your blog, there is no segment for people coming from Facebook, there’s no segment for people who have visited your Instagram profile, your LinkedIn, your bio and your Instagram profile. So all that stuff is not in here. That’s something that you have to create. And the way to do that is of course with the new segment button.

    When you create a new segment, you define what are the aspects of the conditions that you want this segment to look at. So there are the basics like demographics. Are there certain types of technologies that they use, how to use behave on your site, traffic sources, if you have the source in the medium, you can, you can filter that in. And then of course, there’s the advanced stuff, we can we can build in very elaborate constructs.

    Once you know what segments you want, and they are correct, and they’re working in here, and and you have goals and goal value setup, that’s a big ask. But if you have all of that together, if you go to the goals menu, you can start to plug your segments in and see which segments are the most valuable. So let’s take a look here. I’m going to add in see at in my blog, so people who’ve been to the blog and I will

    Want to look at

    people who have been to, for example, my, my gum road page, we can buy my books. And let’s look at organic social media, which is one that I’ve had to create from scratch. Let’s hit Apply.

    And now I can look at each of these segments. Let’s expand this time frame out so that get a bigger picture than just a week.

    So these three segments blog traffic there 3509 V, goal completions, gum road, no goal completions, which actually makes sense because off site, organic social media traffic 283 goal completion. So in terms of what segments should I be doing further analysis on, I say this blog traffic one’s pretty important. So let’s go now and just show a quick example of what you would do with that knowledge. I’m going to

    Go to source medium here in acquisition.

    And we the blog traffic. That’s that’s kind of important. So let’s remove everything else here and just focus on people who read the blog.

    Remove this one

    and remove this one.

    So where are people coming from who read the blog?

    Google organic search. Let’s make this a bar chart so it’s a little easier to visualize. Visually, there that is very impressive. So 76% of my blog, we just come from organic traffic. 12% are Unknown. Unknown is important because it means there’s potentially tagging issues at work, being organic search number three 1.6%, then Twitter, then my email newsletter, Facebook, feed burner, and then a few other things. So this is really interesting to me because if I am now looking at my blog,

    If my blog is important, and clearly we know it is because it has a high number of gold completions, then, as a segment, this is what I want to keep an eye on, I want to understand what this audience where this audience is coming from. So if I want more traffic to the segment, I should probably focus on Google Bing, and and Twitter. And then I could take it then start digging into Who is this audience? So who are the Who are the people who are in this audience? So very broadly, and look at the broad demographics of my blog segment. See that most folks at 25 to 34 other folks can be identified which is about 45% of the audience. My blog is relatively gender balanced. It’s not exact, but it’s that’s okay. Looking at the interest Who are these people? What are they interested in?

    Hey,

    shoppers lifestyle, sports and fitness, interesting employment business service.

    advertising, I would hope that would be the market segment because I write a marketing blog, social networks reference. So some useful things here for some of the topics are some of the things I might want to cover. If I want to do, for example, do a custom report for an industry. Gosh, which industry should I choose? Maybe? Things like health and fitness, I do think something like that. That would be of interest to a, a plurality of my audience can look at things like where are my users based? So the people who read the blog, where are they based in predominantly the United States, but the United States is only 47% of that blog segment. That’s really important because if I think

    and I speak, and I make video content and all the stuff for people, that is to America centric, I’m alienating 50 52.184%

    of my audience. That’s not a good thing. I look at how much audience comes from

    other parts of the world, India 6.4%, the United Kingdom 5.72%, Canada, almost 5%. So it’s a good. This, the blog audience segment is a very diverse segment. And that means that I have to keep in mind,

    I need to be more global unless regional in my, in my perspective, we look at mobile devices. Let’s go ahead and take a look at our mobile overview here. Who is the audience in terms of the device that they’re using the device category, desktop, mobile tablet, okay. Let’s go to our bar charts.

    And in a bar trends, we see here we are at 68%, desktop 28% Mobile, that’s actually surprising to me that mobile is not greater. It gets me to thinking maybe I need to check my amp implementation maybe to make sure that my blog is more mobile friendly, to make sure that I increase that share. And then looking at the branding of the devices and you know,

    What is the who is the audience? Apple now 54% of the devices and then everything else. We have the Android ecosystem Android, Android, Android, Android, probably Android, Android, probably Android and like a Windows Phone.

    So with the segments, once you’ve evaluated your segment, based on the value of that segment, then go through and do all this analysis, do all this research, find interesting things to look at that give you insights as to who this most valuable segment is, and what you should be doing from a content perspective, from a device perspective, from a friendliness perspective, to serve your highest converting segments the best, that’s how you make the most of this information. And that’s how you turn it into action that will lead to business impact. By making life better for your best customers, you will ensure their loyalty or at least improve the likelihood of their loyalty and give them what it is they want. As always, if you have

    Public Service Announcement: Mark All As Read Day is April 2

    It’s the day after April Fool’s Day, but thanks to news readers, inboxes, and social networks, we’re not consuming information in chronological order.

    is public service announcement time Today is April 2, which means it is clean your inbox day. This is not an official day. Of course, no one has tells you to clean your inbox. But there’s a very, very important reason why you want to make today mark all is read archive, inventory, everything. It is the day after April Fool’s Day, which means that you will no longer thinking I should be looking for funny, humorous, prank things in my content. But if you’re still looking at yesterday’s news feeds yesterday’s inbox and things, guess what, you’re going to get whammy. So just a quick look here at my family. We’ve got stuff from today. We got this from this morning. And then of course, there’s things like Google tool up April Fools. And there’s a whole bunch of stuff in here that may or may not be relevant. So in the software of your choice, whatever tool you use, make sure that you mark as read

    At the very least stuff old and then a day, but even still there, you’re going to get things like that were 21 hours ago. So there’s some potential that you could get some some stuff. So I would say just to be safe in all your fields mark all is read everything that is frankly old from all it’s 7am as I record the say everything that was that that is, after midnight, your local time market read, do the same for your Gmail inbox to the same for your pocket reader or Flipboard, your family, your whatever it is read it later. Instead paper and all those applications that you used to gather news and read it today will be the day to market and market right and clear it out. By the way, if you use any kind of content curation automation, where you have software that is pulling in content to reshare it later there, we have software of our own. Their companies are curated that do the same. You’re going to want to do the same on those feeds to go through

    At the very least inspects to make sure that when you publish your, your weekly wrap up or summary of the content that you’re going to share this week that either you market this was an April Fool’s Day thing, or you just clean it out and maybe do a shorter edition this week just so that you don’t share something that you or someone in your audience misinterpreted as being legitimate news, when in fact, of course, it’s not.

    The other thing is that there were a couple of brands that released actual news yesterday. I don’t know why you would do that. Because no one knows whether to believe you or not. So maybe try re releasing that news today.

    But anyway, it’s market all is read slash archives. Read it later slash clean out all the inbox is you have access to and double check when you’re on social media for the next few days because services like Facebook and Instagram, don’t obey a chronological feed, which we’ve been asking them for that so I don’t know what

    Five years now,

    you can still get caught unaware. So just be on your guard. Clean out everything you can clean out and enjoy the rest of the year when we can be certain that any fake news is actually fake for malicious reasons and not because of a prank day.

    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 teak asks, I just want to be able to get some conversations around Google Analytics from Facebook and Twitter programmatically. Is there a tool that does that? Or should I aim to write some code in Python? Good question. You are looking for social media monitoring? Well, you’re looking for one of two things, you’re looking for social media monitoring, or you’re looking for content, visibility. So for social media monitoring, to have the tools that would recommend for this particular task would be either talk walker or brand 24. So let’s switch screens here.

    This is talk Walker talk Walker allows you to put in search terms at so I’ve got Google Analytics with and without the space here. And then for your specific request about things like Facebook and Twitter. You can isolate those channels and

    Provide reporting,

    for getting data out of these systems programmatically your, if you if you mean, you want to be able to take it out on a regular basis, you’re going to want to get access to the API’s for these companies. So here we have, we have Twitter and Facebook feeds. If when you look here, we’ve got, you can embed on another platform where you can use an RSS feed for the data. You can also use JSON feed as well.

    I typically will do CSV exports because I don’t have to do these on an ongoing basis usually have to do one shots. The other thing is you’ll you will notice there’s a substantial amount of non English here so you can use whatever the language of your choice is, if you want to use Arabic or Japanese or Russian or whatever, I forgot how many languages boarded, I can look.

    A whole bunch. So that’s that would be an option within talk Walker.

    extract the data. The same is true for brand 24. Go in, it’s set up your Google Analytics search, you can take a look at the mentions.

    And then you can do data, different types of data exports. And you can also set it up so that you can integrate with things like slack as well. And you can see there’s Facebook, there’s Twitter, you will get different numbers from the various different platforms and things. So you’ll want to make sure that depending on the type of data, you’re using, different social platforms are better at different things. So for example, let’s look at just the raw numbers here. I’m going to go with media types.

    So for Google Analytics in the last 30 days, talk Walker is pulling out 41,000 mentions of which the lion’s share are going to be

    Twitter and then at one Facebook mentions on the other hand on brand 24 when you look at that, they have pull 1000 Facebook messages

    for Google Analytics, only 5000 tweets so. So again, it depends on on which network you want different tools are going to be better at different networks. And if you want, both gonna have to, to subscribe to both. So that’s one set of options, the second set of options. The second option would be if you want to understand how content is is performing on these networks. So in this case, this is a tool called buzz Sumo put in Google Analytics.

    And now instead of what social posts on Twitter or on Facebook, our most popular This is instead of looking at which,

    which pieces of content which like web articles or blog articles were most shared on those different networks. So those are some options as well to look at

    if you want specific content to see what gets shared the most.

    Now, the question is what do you want to do with the information if you want to just get us

    what people are talking about maybe industry professionals of some kind, to understand what you should be saying, in conversation on those networks, you want to use social media monitoring hands down, to be able to talk the talk in my language that people are using. So I switched over here at the themes, for example.

    very broadly, I get a sense of everything that’s associated generally with this term, right? It’s a marketing tool. It’s calculations. It’s analytics. And then there are various different handles. Again, the different languages. However, if I want to use the data, to decide what content to create, if I’m if I’m looking for a longer form stuff,

    I will probably want to use an export the data out of buzz Sumo because you can get the URLs for each of these articles, and then build some text mining, some text analytics on

    What the top performing articles are. Typically when I do this, I will do a 9010 split. So I’ll take the top 10% of articles and analyze the major themes in an in that, and I’ll take the remaining remainder of the corpus. And I’ll analyze the themes that and what we’re looking for outliers, what are the things that are unique to the top 10% that are not in the bottom 90% if there’s a lot of content, in this case, there’s 943 articles. So you might want to do 2575. But that’s how you get the data from one of these three tools either talk Walker, brand 24, or buzz Sumo. And what you do with the data is exactly the same and in all those cases, you will take an export of it, and then you will start slicing and dicing it based on the top performing content and what it what it has in common. And then everything else. So interesting question, fun question. There’s a lot to be done in an analytics

    you will have to engineer a lot of the features yourself so by that i mean these tools provide really nice rich exports but at the same time they can only do so much with the compute power that they have while maintaining responsiveness and speed of applications you will need to do heavy engineering of your own if you want to use the data for machine learning for advanced analytics for data science

    these none of these software packages do that in a way that allows you to tune it and in a way that allows you to extract exactly the insights you want you’ll have to do the engineering itself so great question if you have follow up questions please leave them in the comments and of course please subscribe to the youtube channel and the newsletter i’ll talk to you soon one help solving your company’s data analytics and digital marketing problems this is trust insights.ai today and let us know how we can help you
