Preface

Welcome to Instant HubSpot Dashboard Customization. This book will take you through the set of tasks that need to be performed to generate inbound leads for your business with the help of HubSpot.

What this book covers

Adding users to your account (Simple) will help you add multiple users to your HubSpot account. The HubSpot dashboard is extensive. It is really difficult for an individual to handle end-to-end activities if they're working for an organization running multiple marketing campaigns using HubSpot. Most companies set up additional user accounts and assign responsibilities accordingly in order to make the process easier.

Connecting to HubSpot (Intermediate) will show you how to connect your domain and subdomain to HubSpot. The step-by-step tasks will also help you connect the HubSpot-hosted landing page to your domain.

Setting up a social media and analytics tool (Intermediate) will help you integrate your multiple social media channels in one place using HubSpot along with a comprehensive dashboard to measure your analytics.

Monitoring competition (Intermediate) will show you how to closely monitor your competitors' website analytics and make appropriate changes to your website and marketing campaigns.

Managing e-mail marketing campaigns (Advanced) will help you create a killer e-mail marketing campaign with the strong call-to-action and social sharing functions in HubSpot.

Using the social media publishing tool (Intermediate) will not only help you publish your blog posts to different channels, but also to understand the effectiveness of publishing your posts in each and every channel.
