Wow, big week!
- I’ve gotten together our final designs which are now in development (see below)
- Created a tiered Quiz after your lovely feedback *Thank you early subscribers*
- Set a launch date!
- Looker Studio Updated Their Blend Mode (my thoughts)
This is behind the build so I am sharing just that…. The good, the bad & the ugly of building this information website!
Designs Are In
By designs, I mean my personal AdobeXD.com hack job. I’ve never taken a design course of any sort so this is just the vibe I am going for 🤘🏽.
The tl;dr:
- Going with the Iceberg theme
- Looker Studio is just what you see (top of the iceburg) but there is so much more to behold.
- My personal fave is the Manipulation Whale.
- Home page is going to be unconventional, but home pages always suck any way.
- Its going to be an irritating mobile design process.
- Theindividual post should be really pretty and easy to read.
Feel free to click the images below to see what I am going for:
New Quiz!
I had previously created a single master quiz, but after a few dozen people took it and sent in thier feedback (thank you). It was too hard…. and i never want to make people feel dumb. Everyone is at their own place of the journey.
Solution – You pick your fate!
Now on /quiz you can select beginner, intermediate, or advanced and then receive a score accordingly.
How The Convertbox Quiz Works
The quiz will be out of 50 points. The beginner quiz is just 5 questions worth 10 points each if they are right, 8 points if you get the “next best” answer, then 5 points, and 0 points if you selected something completely off the rails.
Then, if you put your information into the box at the end. Your score is sent to Active Campaign & Google Sheets (anonymously) where I will eventually build a GDS report to show you where you stand in comparison to the rest of the people who have taken it!
Launch Date
I am aiming to launch V1.0 of the site on March 15th. If you are on our list, there will be an unconventional and no-brainer offer coming to your inbox.
We will launch with:
- /Home-page
- /Visualizations (Custom Visualizations)
- Currently have 5 sourced
- /learn (Blog)
- Currently have 10 amazing posts written
- The goal is to launch 1 new blog post per week… we will see how that goes.
- /Videos (all GDS Related informative videos ive found on the internet)
- I have 4 main creators
- 6 Videos each
- A catch all category
- /icons (ive sourced some of my favorite icons that I use in GDS for you to use for free)
- This might not be live on the go-live date
- /the offere of a lifetime
- I am really excited about this offer…. but I cant let you know yet.
- It’s sort of like our order bump Facebook ADs Pipeline
- But it’s better, bigger, and more fun! (i am all about the fun!)
If you havent heard, GDS Broke the internet with Blending
Here are my thoughts
- The average person wont know the difference.
- In my expereicne most GDS users blend for three reasons
- To get a funnel with filters on each step
- Extracting Data (more on this to come)
- Blending metrics from two datasources… like Google ads and facebook ads
- 99% of the time, a left join will work just fine.
- In my expereicne most GDS users blend for three reasons
- It’s going to make people more frustrated
- Which join do I use will now be a new questions where as before we could just say “This is a left join”
- if you are doing advanced blending in GDS you are probably doing it wrong.
- There are tons of new articles on the internet explaining what the difference is in the Joins,
- I am going to put together a practical video in when people would actually use the various versions. Because frankly its rediculous how many people just explain left join = X outerjoin = Y etc etc.
- It meands GDS is here to stay and has further solidified my thoughts on this website.
As always, do not hesitate to sned me your thoughts at JJ(at)datastudio(dot)vip
