Last Updated: April 17, 2023 Image Credit: Pexels The success of any business or service largely depends on its website, which needs to be optimized in order to provide customers with an efficient, secure, and satisfactory experience. Website performance monitoring is an invaluable tool for achieving that goal, as it enables you to track your website activity, identify areas of improvement and maximize your overall impact. Here are a few tips from Andreas Philip Gross Enterprises LLC on how to leverage the power of website performance monitoring for maximum impact. Find Ways to Improve Your Website Website performance monitoring can help you spot a wide range of problems on your website, from missing web elements and errors in code, to poor loading speeds and unhelpful page layouts. Track all areas of your website's performance by setting up multiple tests that measure the specifications that most directly affect customer engagement, such as loading times and navigational ease. This will allow you to identify problem areas quickly and easily so that they can be addressed in a timely manner. Learn More About Customer Behavior Through Process Mining Knowing how customers interact with your website is the foundation for optimizing their experience. With process mining, you can uncover customer behavior patterns and buying decisions, so you can tailor your website to their needs. This in turn can help increase sales, manage risk, and even uncover hidden opportunities. To get started, identify potential data sources, map out a timeline and determine your key stakeholders. Fix Bugs No amount of user feedback can ever compare to being proactive when it comes to finding bugs in your website before visitors notice them. This is where robust website performance monitoring platforms come into play; these advanced systems will spot bugs in both the front-end elements and back-end system processes (such as data flows), allowing you to detect errors before users see them or feel their effects firsthand. In some cases, this means spotting issues even before launch. Track SEO Results Organic search engine rankings are essential for creating traffic flow toward your business or service online. By using specific metrics (such as keyword analysis) alongside techniques like link building and backlink creation, it's possible for businesses to rank highly on popular search engines without having to pay high costs associated with marketing campaigns or advertisement placement services - at the same time benefiting from improved brand visibility across multiple platforms simultaneously. Become Familiar with Performance Metrics Monitoring performance metrics on your website can help you make data-driven decisions about how to drive more traffic and increase conversions. For starters, consider tracking your bounce rate, which measures how many people view only one page of your site before leaving it. Additionally, pay attention to your transaction/conversion rate, which tells you how many customers are making purchases or submitting their information through your site. This is a good option to consider if you want to maximize the success of your online presence and business. Refine Your Coding Techniques Although many websites feature easy drag-and-drop editors designed for non-professional web developers, mastering coding skills can help immensely when it comes to improving upon existing web pages or building whole new ones from scratch if needed afterward. Learning core concepts like HTML/CSS ensures common mistakes don't creep up and may even hint at new ways of displaying content when encountered with creative blockages along the way. Website performance monitoring is a powerful weapon for businesses wanting to make the most of their online presence. By tracking their websites and identifying areas that need improvement, businesses are able to use process mining to uncover more about customer behavior and find any bugs before visitors do. Additionally, they can monitor SEO results, understand key performance metrics, and brush up on coding skills. All of these tools and resources combine to give businesses the ability to make meaningful changes that can take their website to the next level. ___________________ Article by guest writer Linda Robinson, founder of YouDidYourBest.org (www.youdidyourbest.org) Better life, better business, better you, -Andreas Andreas Philip Gross Enterprises LLC Ideas, Inspiration, Opportunity Washington State Certified K-8 Educator, K-12 International Education Consultant, Professional Coach, Proofreader/Editor, Affiliate Marketer, Popsicle Stick Crafter, Print-on-Demand Products Designer, and Webmaster Check out: www.cityofpullmanportal.com, www.949crafts.com Looking for a professional coach?

Last Updated: April 12, 2023 Hi Ladies and Gents, It's a simple enough question, right? I mean, last week I mentioned how everyone needs some kind of success in their life in order to truly be able to say they are getting the best they can out of life, so, of course, that naturally leads to the question of: "How do I become successful?" right? The answer, which may or may not surprise you, is relatively easy, too: set your mind to it and achieve what you want to achieve! Now, while the question and its answer may seem straightforward enough, the process of getting there may not always be as straightforward as it seems it should be...but then again, it might be. There are a lot of variables in this one! Let's look at some of the things that can help to determine whether a person is going to be successful or not. Keep in mind, these are just some of the more major factors that tend to affect success. I'm sure you've read all over the Internet "the listicles" featuring "The Top 10 Habits of the World's Most Successful People" and all that jazz...and those are not bad things to read. It can be helpful to know what other people are doing to help achieve their success. Many of those articles have probably offered advice like: "Invest in real estate; exercise regularly; create systems that work for you while you sleep; work smarter, not harder; wake up at 4:00 o'clock in the morning every single day for the rest of your life and drink stout with a smashed up raw egg in it for breakfast." All-in-all, not bad advice, really - except I can live without the 4AM wake-up call and the stout with raw egg for breakfast (yuck!); also, investing in real estate is not really my thing...and that is my point right there exactly! While the world's highly successful people may share some commonalities in terms of broad personality traits and habits, the specifics do differ! And why is that? The answer is, again, simple: because YOUR success is NOT THEIR success and THEIR success is NOT YOUR success. You are not them and they are not you. I am not Bill Gates, Robert Kiyosaki, Andrew Rockafeller, Oprah Winfrey, or Miley Cyrus - I am Andreas Gross! And the same is true with you. You are not me, nor anyone else but yourself. Your success is going to be different and unique in comparison to anyone else's success. It doesn't matter if you "follow their 'proven' system" and replicate them exactly to the letter, there are still going to be differences, however large or small - you will put your own seal on your own success. Your own success will belong to YOU and no one else! But that just leads us back to the original question again: "How do I become successful?" My first question to you is: "What do you want to be successful at?" Robert Kiyosaki advocated investing in real estate, and that worked out VERY WELL for both him and Donald Trump...but maybe you are not a real estate investor type. Maybe that's not your "thing," if you will. So before you go chasing the "proven methods" of others, ask yourself what EXACTLY it is that YOU want to be successful at before you go any further. Really be honest with yourself and really be specific. Ok, let's say you answer that with the old tried-and-true response: "I want to be successful at making lots of money." Ok, fair enough - mind you, this is just ONE possible example, though - but fair enough. So you want to be successful at making lots of money. Now your next step is to go after that goal with razor-sharp focus. Well, how do I do that? "Making lots of money" is a big, broad goal! Yes, it is, so you are going to have to be more specific than that! How much is "lots of" money? No, really, slap an exact figure on it - let's turn this 'dream' into a real, achievable, tangible goal. Do you have a preference for how you make this money? You most likely do. Let's start out with the biggest umbrella category first: do you have a preference for whether or not you make this money legally or illegally? Let's say you DO have a preference in this regard and you would prefer to make this money legally. Keep breaking your dream down into smaller and smaller actionable steps, creating a step ladder towards an end result. This is how real, achievable goals are developed. Then, climb that ladder. What's that you say? Now it seems harder than you first thought?! No one said success would come easily! If that were the case - if success was easy to come by - everyone would be wildly successful at anything and everything they ever tried the very first time, all the time (ok, ok, or at least more times than not for all you wise cracks out there!). Oh, no, that's not what you said - you said now it actually seems easier to achieve than you first thought it sounded! That might be the case, too! Sometimes when you see the dream start to take form and solidify itself into a concrete action plan, it may start to look much easier than it did in the first place. Keep going! Don't be afraid to get back up when you fall down - and you WILL fall down! This is YOUR journey to success, not someone else's. The road before you is YOURS - travel it in your own vehicle, at your own speed, on your own terms. Before signing off, I think it would be valuable to at least mention an often overlooked part of any "discussion on success." Articles on "success" and "being successful" often end just like the paragraph directly before this one. There is build up - you need to hone your goals, accomplish them...and then the promise of the fact that you will get knocked down, but you must get up again and keep going! After you have dug a mile through the mountain and hit nothing, don't give up when you are a mere three feet away from hitting that famous Mother Lode of gold, right?! That's all well and good, and not to be mocked. Certainly, these are fair and true steps towards finding success. I want to say this, to add a touch of practicality and realism to this picture: that finding success and being successful do not necessarily mean that you will find success and be successful in ALL things that you do forever and ever after. This is not intended to be a word of caution, but, just like I said, as a word or practicality and real-world advice. Of course, for those who are able to hone the "formula for success" in their lives down to a finely tuned science, those people may indeed go on to achieve success, after success, after success, after success; however, this isn't always the case, and that isn't necessarily bad. Success in certain, specific areas and at specific tasks doesn't always mean success in all things, and that doesn't have to be a bad thing! But this is a topic for another day - a post of its own, perhaps. Until next time.....

I’m your man! Let’s chat. Last Updated: April 4, 2023 Image via Unsplash Hi Ladies and Gents and Everyone Else, Another day, another dollar - or so the saying goes. Another month, another topic here on the Andreas Philip Gross Enterprises LLC blog (and another Monday post going up after Monday! That's two weeks in a row now - sigh!). Here in April 2023 our theme on the blog is success! - what does it mean, how can we achieve it, and why is it even necessary - yes, necessary - to achieve in life in the first place? You see, the thing about success is that you NEED success - we all NEED success - in order to really, truly say we have gotten the most out of life. Some people are more successful (or at least outwardly appear so) than others, you say; and some people are just successful while others are simply not. While I'll give it to you that the first part of that sentence is true, as for the last part of the sentence, I'll say that some people are more successful than they may appear, or maybe even more than they consciously think they are! You see, "success," and "being successful," don't necessarily have to mean becoming a multibillionaire and owning 10 yachts on the Spanish coast, although society often likes to put this image in our minds of what success should be and should mean to each and every one of us! This is simply not true, though! We all have our own unique talents, desires, and dispositions; and not everyone wants 10 yachts moored off the Spanish coast - com'on! Success, meaning a favorable or desired outcome, can come in the form of something as simple as opening a door properly; "She successfully opened the door." Success can mean showing up and trying something new for the first time. Success can be not burning dinner! As we get ready to explore "Success" this month on the blog, I'll leave you with some links at the bottom here that I have found to be extremely useful - may they inspire you and help you to find success where you need it most.
