I manually download raw metric reports and pull them into a spreadsheet. This crucial step allows me to correct or normalize the data, filter out background or internal traffic, properly format it, and cross-check it for discrepancies. I also apply custom segmentation and non-standard filters to the data, which helps me identify patterns a simple data pull-down misses. I then analyze this refined data using visual storytelling (like charts and graphs, often in GraphPad PRISM) to create strong reports, interpret trends, identify anomalies (like sudden drops in data points), and craft a narrative that guides next business steps and decisions.

I first select potential tattoo artists or influencers by researching their latest work, which confirms their style aligns with my project. I then draft a personalized outreach message. Importantly, I integrate a specific compliment, comment, or mention about one of their recent pieces into the body of the message. This approach validates my appreciation for their work, and shows I have down my research about them. I always close the message with a question, which turns a cold pitch into a real dialogue, prompts a response, and drives successful partnerships.

It helps me feel comfortable in my own skin, which makes it easier to tune out distractions and focus on what I’m there to do. When I feel more confident walking in, I’m more motivated to stick with my routine and challenge myself instead of worrying about how I look.
