Managing Metrics: Tips for Creators
Numbers can be a source of inspiration or, if misused, they can become a burden that stifles your creative flow. The danger isn’t in the numbers themselves—they’re neutral.
The real challenge is how we interpret and react to them.
Any creator who has posted content and then obsessively checked views and notifications knows how draining this can be. But if you understand which metrics truly matter, and learn how to interpret them effectively, they can actually fuel your creative process rather than hinder it.
