I sent one link to five platforms. I got 27 signups. I had no way to see where they came from. I spent hours on graphics and text. I missed the most important part. I forgot tracking.

I thought checklists were too much. I tried to wing it. This led to late night bug fixes. It was stressful.

I built a simple tool. I used Python and a spreadsheet. I created unique links for each platform.

The data showed me new things.

• Most traffic came from mobile phones.
• Custom slugs are easier to share.
• QR codes drive more clicks.

The tool was not perfect. It required manual work. It was hard to scale.

But it worked. It taught me about my audience. It showed me what works.

How do you track your traffic?
