Evanalyze

I got access to all of our internal analytics at jtv today and I am in data-driven heaven. There is so much to be tweaked and optimized, I could keep myself busy just on that for the foreseeable future–I won’t but I could.

Going from looking at my personal site, which I think did 10 views yesterday, to looking at Justin.tv, which has done more pageviews in the time I’ve been writing this blog post than all websites I’ve ever owned combined, is surreal. The guys over there have done a great job growing the company over the last couple years and I am PUMPED to continue (and hopefully improve) that.

I am overflowing with ideas right now. Need to focus on getting those organized and prioritized this weekend.

The recent lack of blog posting is pretty lame, so I’m devoted to going on a writing streak over the next few weeks. This will be easier because I’ve got some really cool stuff to write about. Starting on Monday I will be the VP Marketing at Justin.tv.

It’s an outrageously cool opportunity with a great company full of great people. I’ll be responsible for everything from PR to customer acquisition and everything in between. When I asked about what they were looking for in my interview the answer pretty much came down to, “We want to find the person who will tell us that!” Hmm, okay I’m in.

So far I have been almost completely unable to sleep. I’m waking up at 4am flooded with ideas for things I want to test out, data I want to gather and content I want to develop. There is so much to do and it’s hard to pick what to do first. Thankfully I have a few more days to straighten my head out and go into JTV with a lot of control over what I’ll be doing. It’s exciting, scary and above all amazing. I can’t thank Justin and Michael enough for the effort they put in to answer questions and fast track the whole process.

I’m going to try to write as much as possible along the way about what I’m up to. Here’s to a hectic next few months (years?)!
