Web Analytics - Murder by Numbers - Part 1 Jason OConnor

Want to know a methodology to learn the exact effectiveness of every e-marketing initiative you conduct? It’s a method that every company online should implement. It’s a must-have if you’re actively trying to leverage your web presence to increase your bottom line.

One of the great aspects of the Internet and e-marketing is its ability to give immediate results and feedback regarding all kinds of online activities. This of course requires tracking.

Let us delve into the world of tracking. Part 1 of this two part series will explain the basics of e-marketing tracking. Part 2 will provide a fool-proof method for website statistical acquisition.

If you rent some banner ad space at a website whose audience is your target market, you can learn exactly how many people saw your banner ad and how many clicked through to your site. You can also determine how many people actually became a lead from the banner ad and even see how many were converted into a sale.

If the numbers were low the first time around, you can create a new banner ad and submit it again, then track those results. You can keep tweaking ad infinitum until you discover the perfect combination of design, copy and presentation that yields the best results. This is one of the wonders of the Net. But you’ll need a way to make sense of all the numbers. And there will be a lot of numbers. Enter Web Analytics.

Here are the most important data points for an e-marketer:

1.Cost for campaign 2.Reach or total visits (in Netspeak, ‘eyeballs’) 3.Unique visits 4.Click-thru number 5.Click-thru percentage 6.Number of leads generated 7.Cost per lead 8.Lead conversion rate 9.Lead to sales ratio 10.Number of sales generated

In the banner ad example above, let’s say the statistics for a day are:

1.The banner ad’s cost for the day = $500 2.Total visits = 1000 3.Unique visits = 800 4.Click-thru number = 50 5.Click-thru percentage = 5% 6.Leads generated = 20 7.Cost per lead = $25 8.Lead conversion rate = 40% 9.Lead to sales ratio = 10% 10.Sales generated = 2

The daily, weekly or monthly visits to the site that houses your banner ad will be the reach or visits to the site. This number can be broken down to both total and unique visits. If there were a 1000 visits to that web page in a day but 200 of those visits were from the same people visiting twice in that day (and all the rest came only once), then total visits is 1000 and unique visits is 800. This is because if 200 people came to the site twice that day, then 200 of the total visits for the day were repeats which leaves 800 unique visitors (1000 - 200 = 800).

Continuing with the example, the number of people who view the banner ad and actually click on it over to your site is the click-thru number. The click-thru percentage is ascertained by dividing the number of click-thrus by the number of page visits. For example, if 50 people clicked-thru to your site from the banner, and there were a total of 1000 banner views (because there were 1000 views to that page that had the banner ad on it), then the equation would be 50 divided by 1000, or 5%. (You could also use the unique visits to calculate this percentage: 50/800 = 6.25%.)

Leads acquired is how many people actually filled out a form on your site or called as a result of the banner ad. In other words, the user saw the banner ad on another site, clicked the banner thru to your site, and then actually gave you their information via a web form or phone call.

Cost per lead is very important. The lower this is the better. You calculate this by dividing the total cost by the number of leads, in this case $500 divided by 20 leads, or $25 per lead.

The lead conversion rate is the percentage of new leads you obtained from the visitors driven to your web page as a direct result of the banner ad. Of course this page needs a call to action in order to convert a visitor to a lead. A call to action is a statement on the page that says “Call today” and gives a phone number or is a link that points someone to a web form.

If your banner ad cost $500 and you got 20 leads (leads acquired), then your cost per lead for this banner ad campaign was $25.

If 2 people out of the 20 new leads actually bought your product or service, then your lead to sales ratio is 1/10 or 10%.

Obviously, the whole point of all this is to increase the last number, our final sales. By monitoring all these numbers continuously and systematically, we can gain an almost omnipotent view of our various e-marketing campaigns. We can then leverage that knowledge to improve each initiative to yield the best results.

Look for Part 2 of this two-part series. It will explain how to get all the initial web statistics to plug into these formulas. It will also describe a great method for obtaining accurate click-thru numbers.

Good luck number crunching! The better you get at it, the more sales you’ll create.

TO AUTOMATE OR NOT TO?

For those of you who are trying to figure out if you should use an automated link promoter or just simply doing everything yourself:

Linking software’s are great (not really) I’ve tried 2 programs myself, and I must say that both attempts were a disaster! Now I’m not saying that eventually that there will be a perfect software out there to promote your link exchange program.

Right now, here are some of the problems

- The links that you will find are not relevant to your sites content.

- Some links tend to be “Link Farms” that only harm your search engine performance.

- You’ll tend to get millions of porn sites!

and so on…
—————————————————

Here’s a method that holds very strong when I look for link partners:

—————————————————
When I find a great resource that has similar content to my site, I will browse through their ENTIRE “Resourceful Links” listed on their site and see if It’s a good idea to link to them!
—————————————————

Here’s another method of doing this effectively for best results:

—————————————————
If you happen to find a great resource, enter their entire “URL” in www.google.com.

What you need to look for is this:
“Find web pages that link to www.this-site.com“

The Purpose Martin?

Once you click on the “pages that link to that site” you will find sites that already have a great link program related to your site!

Take advantage of linking to all the sites listed within that search on google!

PLEASE TRY TO AUTOMATE YOUR LINK
EXCHANGE PROGRAM!

It gets very flustering for an entrepreneur like me who is trying to have a really good source of link exchanges, especially when I have to e-mail my companies information manually!

Try adding a “Mail Script” that takes the link exchange information right from your site! You’ll find that more sites will want to link to yours!

Here’s an example of what your form should ask:

1) Full Name: Martin Lemieux
2) WebSite URL: http://www.smartads.info
3) Title: Smartads.Info :: Marketing & Advertising Centre
4) Description: (250 characters or less)

Smartads :: Learn everything about Link Exchanges, Search Engines Submissions, Advertising & Marketing Tips, Web Design, Special Canadian Sites. Promotion & Traffic Resources

5) Our link on your site: http://www???
6) E-mail: youre-mail@yoursite.com
7) Comments:
SUBMIT

That’s all you really need!!!

Another little “Timbit”,
Give visitors your link information!

Please add your “Link Information” that you would want visitors to add on their site! I’ve gone to too many sites were I had to spend over 5 minutes trying to find their “Link Exchange” information!

Now I’m not talking about a link on your site to your link program, I’m talking about the information you would give to other sites in order to exchange links!

Denying link exchanges!

Get ready, it happens to all of us! Don’t get upset when a company you just linked to has just denied your link exchange! Many companies out there has STRICT guidelines they are looking for. You may have not read their specific rules they have! Don’t worry about it, take a note and move on.

There’s another 1,000 000 that will link to you so don’t go have a drink from one denial! I know we all hate them but just remember, we’ve all got them!

In the future, when you’re put in a situation were you will be the one denying another site for a link exchange, just remember how you felt at the time and be considerate to the other by telling them WHY they were denied. I often replied to the site that denied my site to ask why my site wasn’t accepted and often I am surprised to hear the reason. what they had to say!

I hope this article has opened your mind about Link Exchanges!

Recently NASA wind tunnel testing has confirmed what many eccentric aircraft and aerospace engineers have been saying for decades. And that is blended wing body aircraft are as much as 30% more efficient due to lower co-efficients of drag. Some may think that the flying wing concept is something totally new and innovative yet in review we find drawings and prototypes that go back decades.

And well some really old stuff, dating way back to WWII and Jack Northrop. And if you really want to be tricky and call question to the efficiency of the flying wing and the earliest designs here is one, which will throw you for a loop; the Egyptians had pictures of what looked like flying winged aircraft on their walls.

So perhaps this idea is not so NEW really. Blended Wings have many concerns to. If you look at a boomerang, or watch a flat object fall it spins on the way down. And let us not forget buffeting issues with flying wings which can occur as well, especially flying in an atmosphere with micro bursts, thunder storms and near airports with lots of wake turbulence too.

Luckily we have learned so much from the flying wing days of the 50’s and 60’s and the present B-2 Bombers as well that we maybe able to really take that knowledge and do better now. For instance airliners, which are flying wings such as this mock up digitally enhanced picture of a flying wing airliner;

http://www.strangedangers.com/content/item/107063.html

A flying wing has many other neat aspects to it. That much wing sure plays well for eddy vortex lift and use. One would think that many who design these things are missing out on other cool possible aspects as well. For instance take thrust vectoring jets at just below the c.g. on top of the wings and put the aircraft into a high angle of attack 35-40 degrees and thus you have put the energy against the c.g. pushing it against the top of the wing rather than the thrust pushing it from the bottom of the wing as most designs show. You could have extremely short take off rolls and very efficient climb outs. The rates of climb would also significantly keep noise away from sensitive neighborhoods around airports.

Another issue is that people like to look out of the aircraft, so it might be wise for passenger aircraft where the passenger rode in the belly of the wing with now windows to play a Virtual or Augmented Reality on the cabin walls of the outside in giant screens, so the passengers would feel like you are sitting on the cloud and thus pleasing to the humans, as all humans seem to have a Closter phobic effect and combining that with air sickness would not be so good. Think on this.

In the UK the 8 largest credit card providers have been ordered to reduce their charges, for default and late payment, by between 40 and 50%. The current late payment charge by most major issuers is between £20 - £25 ($30 - $40 US) and the have been instructed to slash that down to £12 -£15 UK ($18 - $20 US).

The UK Office of Fair trading, who have been investigating credit card charges for the last few months, stated “The OFT considers that, in a consumer contract, a default charge is likely to be disproportionately high if it is more than a genuine pre-estimate of the damages that the card issuer would win in court if it sued the cardholder for breach of contract,” adding “The OFT’s provisional view is that the levels of the default charges imposed by the credit card companies need to be reduced in order to be fair.”

In the opinion of the OFT the current charges of between £20 and £25 excessive and possibly illegal and has given the card issuers 3 months to respond.

Whilst the current ruling is provisional it is expected that the final ruling will apply to all credit card issuers in the UK and, if necessary, the OFT will take a test case to the UK courts for a ruling forcing the banks to comply.

Once applied to credit cards the decision will also apply to overdrafts, store cards and mortgages.

Estimates on what this will cost the banks vary from 400 million to 1 billion UKP - up to 50% of the profits earned on credit cards. In recent results the big 5 banks in the UK declared record overall profits of £33 billion, so they can easily reduce these charges.

Matt Barrett, the former chief executive of Barclays, famously once told MPs that he didn’t use credit cards because they were “too expensive”. Whilst the ruling is intended to reduce costs to customers it’s likely that the banks will other find ways to keep the costs high.

It is already clear that lenders are not great fans of interest free balance transfers as most have applied a 2 - 3% administrative charge. Expect this trend to continue and possibly for the interest free transfers to disappear altogether.

Expect an increase in the number of cards carrying an annual fee and for the annual fee on current cards to increase. Further adjustments could include the disappearance of cashback and a reduction in free services, travel insurance, flights, holidays and other promotions.

Though this ruling applies to the UK only, once it is enforced card issuers around the World will be under pressure to follow and countries with strong consumer protection legislation may follow the OFT’s lead.

This is therefore an ideal time to review your current credit cards and take advantage of offers while they last.

If you have a credit card debt, which is rolled over each month, take advantage now of the interest free offers currently available. Read the small print, some carry a 2-3% charge, avoid these as there are still a few interest free transfer offers which do not have the administration charge.

If you repay your cards in full each month take a look at the cards offering cashback and get a discount on your purchases while it still exists.

If you have a balance which will take years rather than months to repay look at the permanent low interest cards or even better look at debt consolidation and move the debt to a low interest loan or mortgage.

Credit cards are an expensive form of long term borrowing. This ruling, whilst welcome, may herald the start of a restructuring of credit cards and where they will end is very uncertain.

Noon
(A Short Love story,
dedicated to my wife Rosa)

Marina, raised and born in Huancayo, Peru. Young and beautiful fell in love with Winston, a handsome man, but not of her culture, rather he was quite the opposite in that he was a gringo, as she called him, and she an Inca, as he called her; but love flowed, and it was as should be, love at first sight, and a lasting love. And because they loved each other so much they would hurry home to meet each other after work each and every day of their lives, simply to be in each other’s arms. One might say she was in the summer of her life, and he in the fall, for there was an age difference, but it did not seem to matter between them. Nothing could be worse than separation, so they both admitted to one another, and so they lived their lives out as full as two people can, that being, to the brim, to the very top of the cup of coffee you might say. They lived in the moment.

As years passed, his sweetheart never left his mind, and at noon, he would come home, greet her, and wipe the glass around the frame of their picture, in their small apartment; sometimes she would be home waiting for him, and at other times, she would be busy at the Post Office working. Nonetheless, he would not fail to keep this little ritual up. And as the days passed, they would visit the Andes beyond the Mantaro Valley together, the valley he loved so very much, and in the blue of the evening he’d kiss her as if they were just married. Now looking back, seven years had passed since that first day, the first day they had fallen in love. Deep inside of each of them, they knew there was no other mate for them on the whole earth, lest they were in denial, and this was not so. Likewise, they both loved the Lord, and prayed each night. Marina, often prayed: should one die, the Lord should take the other, and thus, it would not be so painful then. But Winston had told her time and again, it was up to Him (God), not for them to choose the time, and place. He assured her, should one die, the other would simply have to wait for the other, and meet up at heaven’s gates.

Thus, as I have said, and you can see, they werefor the most partinseparable, and to the onlookers, unforgettable with their love for each other.

One day, as all days must come for each person, she died. Needless to say, Winston was shell shocked, in disbelief, in shock you might say. Paralyzed. For many years after Marina’s death Winston walked the streets aimless, forlorn. Life seemed not worth the living, yet death was not an alternative, lest, he play God, and it was not in his faith to do so. And as he grew older, he was still a handsome man, and quite famous in many of his writings, and looked upon as a man of words, and letters. And one day, as many days are, that is, a single day often changes a person’s life, or can. It was such a day when he was invited to a rich woman’s home, he and many other people of importance. Thus, he met, September, whom was attracted to him immediately. She being half his age. She was captivating with her beauty, and slender in body form, and quite healthy looking in the breast area. He did notice her, but only looked for a moment, as many young men tried to tempt her with their canned looks and gestures.

As the party had ended, Winston had fallen asleep in an outside lounge chair, there with several young maids cleaning up; September was helping clean up the party items also, putting them away. Thereafter, she lay down in the thick of the grass, as Winston woke up, her eyes gazing upon him, catching him. She spoke to him in a most romantic and enticing way, and he being without much company for a long spell, sat by her and listened attentively. And as they lay together, she found he got excited, and he said to her (diminishing her hopes for anything beyond the normal), “My wife died several years ago, I have not had another woman since, forgive me for my bodies reactions.” She smiled, and was most pleased: not so much with his statement, but with her ability to excite him.

As time went by, they seen each other on many occasions, and slept with one another. Yet at noon, no matter where he was, he’d go home and clean the glass around the picture frame, on the mantle, of him and Marina. He thought of September often, but not as often as he thought of Marina. And she, September, had now fallen in love with Winston, yet he had never told her in the two years they had dated that he loved her. Nor did he talk to her about Marina. Yet she did visit his apartment on occasions. But deep inside him he wanted to be with Marina, to meet Marina at heaven’s gate, and should he marry September, when he died how could this be possible. Hence, as he and September walked in her long drawn out backyard filled with every kind of plant the jungle of Satipo had to offer, she was hoping this was the moment he would propose marriage to her. And as she had fallen to sleep, upon her waking up, he was gone. Knowing it was noon, it dawned on her where he might be, she rushed to his apartmentfor the first time she had put it together, that he always went home at noon. Not giving it much attention previously. When she entered his house, she did not find him home, then looking at the mantel, she noticed something was missing, but could not for the life of her figure out what.

Winston, being of old age, and of some ailments, had died that day, in the Mantaro Valley, died with a picture in its frame in his hands, holding it tightly against his chest. And there he was buried with by Marina, still his wife!…

Note: written down mostly from a dream 3 May, 2005, Lima, Peru

Dennis Siluk, is the author of 29-books, three of short stories, three of poetry. His website is http:dennissiluk.tripod.com

One reporter asked a great traveler, “Of all the countries and historic places you visited, what did you find to be the most comfortable place to live in?” In a split second the answer came, “the country side where I spent my childhood.”

Such is the influence that rustic symbols and themes have in many people’s minds. Memories of rustic symbols are deep rooted in everybody’s life. Rustic living imparts comfort, melodious feelings and sometimes even homesickness when forced to live within the hustle and bustle of the city life.

Faced with complex problems, multi-facial engagements, tight schedules, technological advancements and life’s complexities constantly bombarding us, many peoples’ schedules are become crazy nowadays. Simplicity becomes required somewhere within these chaotic lifestyles to provide relaxation. With its nourishing charm, a country-themed home can create this type of comfortable retreat for any family. The rustic decorating style is a key ingredient for this type of house.

When we walk through the front door of a rustic home we feel as if we are walking into a country home. The decor could incorporate a variety of accessories such as country candles, wicker baskets, pillows, berry garlands, wooden shelves and benches and anything else that arouses the memories of a more laid-back time.
Furniture of natural woods with country colors is an integrated part of rustic décor. Pressed tin panels, jelly cabinets, pie safes and long wooden shelves imparts rustic atmosphere to any home.

Rustic décor may at first appear relatively basic, but it can be deceptively challenging to properly achieve. Although country décor should appear simple, some time is required for careful planning and artistic outlook.

Luckily the items and materials needed for rustic decor are easily available. Local materials are all we need to re-create our dream. Rustic tiles, for starters, come in all shapes and sizes and price ranges. What we want is the imagination and artistic talent to arrange it to promote that rustic feeling. We can go for country-style tiles, pebbles, standard bricks and mortar and natural materials. Whatever the material we decide to choose, and no matter how rustic the materials are, they should be arranged properly to give the required effects.

Specially-cast iron used in iron furnishings, window and door grates, etc. is another key ingredient for giving a rustic appearance. Arches, fireplaces, planter boxes and other interior features are key ingredients in imparting that rustic look.

Handcrafted materials can be perfect exhibitions of a rustic nature, particularly high quality rustic collections created by artisans. Handcrafted pieces each have their own unique character, which is the very essence of rustic décor.
Plants and living things are an integral part of rustic decorations. The bonsai trees, Jasmines, oranges and pine trees add to rustic atmosphere, plus the aroma they impart and the freshness of the air refreshes the soul.

Water is also a key feature for rustic decoration. Beautifully tiled fountains provide any room the gentle sounds of flowing water, lending a perfect audible presence to your rustic atmosphere.

It really doesn’t matter where you live or how you choose to arrange your rustic furnishings - country-themed décor can and does work in the interior of any home. And with that rustic décor will come a sense of comfort as well as a feeling of being closer to nature… a feeling that many of us have lost in the mix of the city life.

It truly is the Network Marketing Paradox. I just shake my head sometimes at this, and other times, I just smile.

I have some good news.

And some not so good news.

Well, I guess it all depends on how you look at it as far as your Network marketing business and your MLM Success.

Here it is:

Your paycheck is totally, absolutely, postively, no doubt about it, no argument available, it is the solid truth, incredibly determined by one thing.

WHOA !

You say!

How can that be? Don’t say that! Many things determine a paycheck! Many factors determine my income! Many forces determine my volume! Many things have been determining the numbers on my check!

I understand why you feel that way.

I once thought that there were many factors that went in to the MLM Success Formula for Network Marketing. Was I correct?

Well, yes and no.

INFERNO Secret:

Your Success can be determined by many things, but your paycheck is determined by one.

Read that again to make sure you have it down.

And most people view their Success in MLM through the numbers on their mlm paychecks.

Let look at the Truth about Your MLM Paycheck.

But it’s TRUE . Your paycheck is really determined by ONE thing…

100%.

What would that one thing be?

It is what I call the ” Master Skill in Network Marketing “.

MLM Millionaires have mastered and continue to master it.

Politicians have mastered it.

CEO’s have mastered it, and even most waitresses have mastered it.

Movie Stars have mastered it.

Mega Church Pastors have mastered it.

Successful entrepreneurs have mastered it.

And YOU must master it.

OK, what is it?

It’s COMMUNICATION .

OnFIRE Communication!

Fortune Magazine did a study of over 200 Multi-Millionaires, and found that over 90% of them when questioned what the single most important skill was for their or any success:

It was the ability to effectively communicate!

There are three rules to a Successful Paycheck in MLM:

You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
PERIOD !

Let me repeat that so you have it down…ONE MORE TIME!

You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.

Got the MLM Paycheck Source?

You get paid for talking to mlm prospects, talking to your downline, and talking to your leaders. You MUST become a riveting MLM Communicator, and develop a talking style that is Powerful, Magnetic, Focused, Energetic, and is Effective in MLM Success

If that is a weakness in your personality, then you need to read books and study Communication. I did, and it paid off unbelievably! One of my favorites is “You Are the Message,” available through amazon.com. Also, there is a good book, “Getting your point across in 5 Minutes or Less.” Both are great books as far as communication. Read them, and listen to some audio tapes on Communication, and check out the CommunicationLab on out PassionFire website.

Educating yourself on Communication is a MUST! And it will pay off massively HUGE in your MLM Success.

Blessings…

Are you thinking about starting an on-line business? Maybe you have a vague idea of what’s required - maybe you haven’t a clue. This article outlines three basic, non-negotiable things that you will need.

1. Premium web hosting

I suppose it is possible to make a modest income on-line without your own website. But, it is practically impossible to make serious income without your own site. This applies whether you’re selling on eBay, marketing affiliate programs, or selling your own product or service.

A web host provides you with your space on the internet. You want to make sure you get a host who can provide you with plenty of space to grow and excellent data transfer rates. The last thing you want to do is fall for one of the free services that only gives you a small amount of space or can only handle a very limited amount of traffic. You don’t want to be forced to move your site to a different web host after quickly outgrowing your free space.

2. Sequential auto responders

As may be evident from the name, an auto responder can automatically reply to emails. A “sequential” auto-responder can be set up to send multiple, sequential emails at designated time intervals. For instance, if you invite your web site visitors to sign-up for a free e-zine (i.e., electronic magazine), your web page would be programmed to send an email to your auto responder e-mail address. The auto responder would then send one, two, or more messages, at programmed intervals (perhaps a week apart) to your visitor. This builds your “brand name” in the minds of your visitors and increases the chances that they will buy your product. And, guess what? You’re building your “brand” with little effort on your part! Imagine the time this would take to manually send these emails to each web visitor?

3. Advice from a trusted source

So, what are the key steps in marketing your product or service? The internet is a virtual sea of information. Navigating through it is best done with the help of someone who has already learned through the “school of hard knocks”. Perhaps you personally know someone who has this knowledge, but if you’re like most people, you really don’t know whom to trust. My advice is to find a product or service which offers this type of “how-to” advice. The available options range from fluff to very valuable. Let the buyer beware! There are several ways to verify the claims being made by the sellers of these services. First, check the traffic numbers for the service’s web site on alexa.com. The lower the web site ranking, the better. Next, ask for advice on the internet marketing forums. Many of the participants in these forums know their way around the internet and can help you evaluate the quality of a particular product or service.

Watching an exciting movie in the evening is a favored way for many people to relax after a long day of work. They look forward to getting home, having dinner and then sitting down to be entertained. After hours of watching television, they decide to turn in for the night and instead of falling fast asleep, they spend the next several hours rolling around in their bed, suffering from insomnia.

When we watch something exciting or thrilling on television, our adrenaline gets pumped up and it becomes difficult to calm ourselves down to a point where sleep comes easy. Our minds also become engaged and trying to quiet that down can be a problem, especially if what we were watching was troubling or upsetting. If our emotions are running high and the end of the day is near, we might either lose sleep because it takes longer to fall asleep or we suffer from insomnia and wake up the next morning having had little or no sleep.

We don’t always associate our insomnia with what we’ve done in the evening. Instead we attribute it to work problems or other worries. That is true at times but it might be that our minds wander to other things as we lay in bed unable to sleep because we’ve been so stimulated by our viewing choices. Television has a direct impact on a person’s emotions and if you’ve spent the last two hours before bed watching a horror movie, your heart has raced enough that simply falling fast asleep is no longer an option.

If you feel as though you might be losing sleep because of what you are watching in the evening, finding another activity might be the key you need to a full eight hours of straight sleep.

Some suggested alternatives are:

Reading a book or a magazine. Choose something that you find genuinely interesting to read, this will help you relax and will aid in sleep.

Play a board or card game with your family. Spending time with those you are closest to is a perfect way to wind down your day.

Take a warm bath. Immersing your body in a tub full of warm water helps to relax your muscles and soothes the body helping with sleep.

Take a walk. Getting outside and exercising can tire you out enough that you’ll drift quickly off to sleep.

Mental stimulation is important when it comes to driving, studying and learning. There are moments in our days when we have to be completely alert and awake. One time we don’t want that to happen is in the evening as we get into bed. Your evening activities can be a precursor for whether or not you’ll suffer from insomnia.

Choose to spend your time before bed doing something relaxing that allows you to calm down and prepare your body for a full night’s rest. Exciting activities are better left to earlier in the day when you want and need to be wide awake.
