TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:
[00:27] Today’s Topic: Don't Overthink Shit
[00:34] Everyone loves to come up with complex funnels.
[00:48] When you make it complex, stuff is more likely to break down.
[01:12] Start simple, then expand.
[01:22] When Eric started, his channel was SEO. They wrote content and did a lot of guest posting.
[01:43] They tried a complex marketing funnel, but it didn’t work.
[01:55] They also were podcasting at the same time and then layered in content marketing once they got the hang of everything.
[02:27] Just focus on the things that you are good at.
[02:40] Don’t take on too much and you can layer things in later.
[03:14] Why build a crazy marketing/sales funnel, when you haven’t tried a simple one in order to see if it would even work?
[03:50] The boring growth is often the most sustainable growth.
[05:06] Wait until the next marketing method has been effective and monetized by others, then jump on the bandwagon. You don’t have to be the first!
[05:33] That’s all for today!
