math for creatives

Posted: May 10th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: good read | 2 Comments »

Cory Huff has a good article on ‘Why Creatives Need to Do the Math‘ over on his the ‘Lateral Action’ site.

The good news? For most of it, he’s talking about math at its most basic form — counting. Counting can change your life, and it’s easy!

If you are overwhelmed by data, try counting just one thing. You’d be amazed at how much you can learn just by tracking, for example, the number of people who buy something whenever you send out an email announcing your new art for sale (you do this, right?).

    I only wish Lateral Action were my blog – but I was more than honored to do a guest post there.

    Thanks for the link and the mention!
