Don't waste your time choosing tools
Nov 6, 2023
Hey, there!
I want to tell you a little story.
About the time I was confused and couldn't make good decisions.
This was at the time I started building my brand-new website.
It took a lot of time and it's finally done.
But before I started building this website, I made a big mistake that cost me 40+ hours of wasted time and a little bit of money.
Cheaper doesn't mean better
When I started out, I built my website in Typedream.
The tool was good enough for me, but as time passed I saw that it was quite slow to load up and that affected the user experience.
So I decided to switch over to MailerLite for 3 reasons:
I could use one tool for email marketing and website
It was cheaper
I thought I could integrate my tools better
So, I built a website in MailerLite.
This probably took me around 20-25 hours to build.
I didn't do any research so...
After 2 weeks I didn't get any sales and saw that the data on my website were pretty poor.
Plus, I couldn't automatically publish newsletters to the blog, the layout of the website wasn't as flexible, and in general, this tool didn't satisfy my needs.
So, I had no choice.
I didn't want to pay for another month of something that didn't bring value to me.
So I built a new website
Which took me even more than the previous one.
Probably around 30-40 hours.
Which leads me to the point of this newsletter.
Don't waste your time choosing tools
I created 3 websites and probably put in around 100 hours in total to create everything.
This could be done in half of the time and the other half could be invested into building new products or creating content.
Have a nice day! 👋

The Second Brain Notion Template: I know you are busy. Most entrepreneurs are and most spend their time working in their business, not on their business. This template will help you free up your time and do what needs to be done.
The Sales CRM Notion Template: Sales is all about one single thing, follow-up. And you don't want to get into a negotiation for a big deal and forget something, or not follow up when you need to. Having everything in one place is crucial.
