Your audience, not your product
Your readers came for the writing. Don't make them the product.
Free analytics is paid for with your audience's data. BuddyStat's answer is structural: no cookies, no personal data, daily-salted IDs that can't fingerprint anyone, and a subscription instead of an ad machine behind the numbers.
Where readers come from
Referrers and UTM tags separate the newsletter from the socials from the search traffic, so you know which channel is worth the effort.
- Newsletter34%
- Google27%
- X / Twitter17%
- Hacker News11%
The searches that find you
Connect Google Search Console and see the queries that bring searchers in, next to the rest of your traffic. No second tab, no export.
Goals for the numbers that pay
Set a goal on newsletter signups or a product page, and see which posts convert readers into subscribers. That's the difference between traffic and an audience.
GoalsBuild in public. Literally.
Make your dashboard fully public and put the link in your bio, or share it privately with a secret link when a sponsor asks for real numbers. Your stats become something you can point at instead of a screenshot you have to crop.
