WCIYP You Can Start Your Own Business week 10

Some people despise the idea of working for someone else. This can be a good thing, there are always new business ideas and opportunities so why not take matters into your own hands and be your own boss and start your own business.


There are a lot of ways to be your own boss, you can open a franchise or find a work-at-home business. If these are not what you are looking for then you can start a different business.

The first step is coming up with what the business will be. This can be a writing exercise, or you can think about previous jobs you have had and what would make this a better fit for you.

Another useful step is reading about your ideas online. See if anything has been done, in this field or similar to it. See if there are any businesses like this anywhere, finding someone to reach out and ask questions regarding this business can be helpful in your researching.

After you research what you know about starting a business, and what you need to learn, and have a more exact idea of your venture, get feedback. Ask someone you trust, but who will also be honest with you. Find out what they think and take any feedback they have without getting upset, and see if they offered any new helpful perspectives.

There is always risk in starting a business. Do your research first and do not give up easily.

MKTG 345 Google Analytics Bounce Rate Week 11

The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors on a website who exit the site after only viewing one page. This is an important rate to know in marketing because it gives you insight on the user experience. If people did not find your website pleasing, they left. Not all high bounce rates are bad, if the reason for the ad campaign was to get people to complete the option and they went to that page, and did then the higher bounce rate may not be a bad thing. Or if the purpose of that page is to complete a specific task, like assist in making a phone call, or that lead directly to the product they clicked on.
