2. What’s the goal worth?Selling stuff online :
Find out your profit per sale, on a sale-by-sale basis.
Example:
100 Bath Towels x $6 per towel = $600
![Page 13: Business Analytics[1] [Autosaved]](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061115/54626b2eaf795988228b6f7d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Perhaps your only online goal is to get people to see a specific page:
Example:2% of readers become a clientEach client pays $100 per year
0.02 x $100 = $2/ person reading article

No goodies? No problem. Create a points system:
1 person reading a specific article = 5 points
1 person viewing a specific video = 5 points
1 person signing up for a newsletter = 10 points
1 person joining the organization = 100 points
