Have you ever thought about helping people that you will likely never meet? I’ve been thinking about that for more than a decade. I’ve also been trying to make it happen by writing articles that share information in hopes of helping people become inspired to help others. This story explains how that all happened.
YouTube is king when it comes to reaching people with your message. There is no doubt in my mind that this is true. In this video, I give several examples that compare and contrast the effectiveness of YouTube, Linked-In, and Wordpress.
The vision formed 2 years ago. Many months of experimentation and testing went into completing the vision. You need to read the article to understand what I mean.
This is part 4 of 3danim8’s blogging experimental analysis. This article investigates how I use level of detail calculations to help me visualize three key measures that describe blog article readership performance.
This is part 3 of 3danim8’s blogging experimental analysis. This article investigates how important speed-burner articles are compared to slow-burners. I can create speed burner articles by writing about Rich Roll, shown above. In contrast to his ultra-endurance performance, these articles fade quickly.
In Part 2 of my blogging experimental analysis, I use Alteryx coupled with Tableau 10 clustering to perform some text analytics. This work answers a single question related to how certain words can improve blog readership rates.
This article explains why I feel like my Blogging Experiment was a failure. You have to read the article to understand what I mean.
Sometimes I have an idea that I want to investigate. I think I know what the answer will be, but every once in a while the result blows me away. This is one of those cases. Tableau makes it really easy to find the answer to these kinds of questions.
Introduction A few months ago, I used a relatively new Google bookmark manager technology to create my visual blog, as shown in Figure 1.
Introduction There are a couple of relatively new blogs that focus on Alteryx and Tableau. I really like both of these. The insights I gain from them are meaningful. They are well-done and authors do a great job of explaining their topics.
Blogs are basically terrible at showing their content. Articles get buried over time and forgotten by everyone…
Introduction I recently realized that I created a lot of Tableau and Alteryx content over the past 8 months. Sometimes I need to reference the material and it can be hard for me to find. I figure that if it is hard for me to find, others will have no chance of finding it.
Introduction In this article, I evaluate the effectiveness of my Tableau blog. To do this, I use Tableau fueled with data that was extracted from the WordPress content management system. I did this self-evaluation to understand how I can become a better blogger and to quantify what kind of readership response a good Tableau article will receive…
Introduction If you are interested in learning about Tableau, following key bloggers is a good way to learn a lot of applied techniques quickly. In a recent blog post, I described how important it is to subscribe to bloggers that produce a significant amount of good content. In a sense, this blog post could be considered…
Introduction I have been writing a lot of Tableau articles that are gathered together in a place called 3danim8’s Blog. I do this to help people learn how to solve data-science type problems. These problems arise in business, math and science and I use great software tools like Tableau and Alteryx to find the solutions. I…
