Leaving LunaMetrics - PSA

My time as an "employee" is over. I am leaving LunaMetrics to run BusinessHut.com full-time.

My most recent employer was LunaMetrics, a Google Analytics Authorized Consultant (GAAC), from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In my time there, I held the title of Web Analyst. This meant I was responsible for installing and configuring Google Analytics on client accounts. After the analytics code was installed, and data collected, I would analyze the information for actionable insights.

LunaMetrics really got me entrenched in the Google Analytics world. That's why it's now the main focus of my business. I am also adding web marketing to my arsenal of services. With my newfound knowledge of search engine optimization and Google AdWords (Pay-Per-Click), I hope to help many more small businesses in the Pittsburgh area.

My first day as a full-time business owner was St. Patty's day, 2008, and this week has been incredibly busy. I thought quitting my job would give me tons of free time, but I've really been able to fill it. Sprucing up the website, organizing the office, getting the accounting done, is taking much longer than I thought. Oh, and I need to do the work my customers are actually paying me for.

Overall, life after LunaMetrics is pretty much how I expected. I miss having coworkers, but I don't miss traffic a bit. Plus, my nights can now be spent with my family instead of moonlighting. I just hope I can keep it up.
