💰 Keeping Things Simple Makes You More Money

👑

Automations and complex funnels can be cool but they can also be a huge time suck and provide ZERO value (a.k.a 💰) to your business.

They can also keep you from building something of value or even launching anything at all.

The best automations and funnels come from doing all the steps manually, and only automating them once they are proven and profitable.

Everyone wants to skip the steps that actually provide you all the customer insights and knowledge you need to build that fancy funnel.

A good example: I launched KEDB on a Notion page, with a Loom video and a payment link to Stripe.

There was no automation at all.

Part of me hated that (the engineer in me), but I probably generated well over $75K just on that notion page.

Instead of giving into the urge to do everything in some funnel software, and automating things that weren't yet proven—I spent most of my time getting that Notion page in front of people, 1 person at a time.

Answering their questions, helping them make the choice to buy it.

The hardest part was staying focused on getting people to see it and NOT automating anything or trying to build out a typical funnel that everyone shows you.

Hope that helps.
