Note that they are simple eg can\\u2019t A/B test them or even report on them eg can\\u2019t do breakdowns based on device or anything like that\\n\\nKeep testing: eg on one site we\\u2019ve had more than 30 Lead Flow submits in the last week (ie almost as many as the normal leads collected) whilst on another site they\\u2019ve had very little response. Which indicates that the way the offer is expressed needs further testing.\\n\\nKeep testing your Lead Flows to improve conversion rates.\\n\\nGotcha: can\\u2019t have LeadIn plugin and the WordPress plugin both active on a site or else the Lead Flows won\\u2019t work.\\n\\nShot 3: Challenge of the Week\\nHow to stop people you work with making on the fly irrational decisions.\\n\\nHow do you solve it?\\n\\nHave a brief when doing work.

Has been shared a lot.\\n\\nAside: Has zero comments.\\n\\nOpinion: We\\u2019re taking comments off some sites, and also removing social sharing in some cases. If they aren\\u2019t social proof they can sometimes be social disproofs.\\n\\nShot 6: Pro Tip of the Week\\nPerform an end of year content audit.\\nhttps://blog.hubspot.com/customers/long-term-content-marketing\\n\\nGoal: with the content audit it will help you identify all of the marketing assets that you have at your disposal and potentially identify gaps or opportunities in your content strategy.\\n\\n\\n\\u2015 Charles Duhigg, Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business'
