Read analytics without chasing vanity numbers

Compare retention, completion, qualified views, follows, and returning viewers against the goal of each post.

The goal is not to imitate another creator. Use the principle as a starting point and adapt it to your voice, language, audience, and available tools.

Create one small draft focused only on this skill: read analytics without chasing vanity numbers. Review it once for clarity, once for accessibility, and once for safety before deciding whether to publish.
