![]() Now, I’ll tell you the membership plugin I decided to go with in a minute. And since How I Built it is built on WordPress, a membership plugin made the most sense. Something that I could understand more implicitly. So this time around, I wanted something I had more control over. I was definitely in someone else’s playground that I was like half blindfolded playing in that playground. So I didn’t understand why I should be offering certain things or how I should offer them, the delivery aspect of it. I also didn’t understand the community aspect of Patreon. Between credit card fees and the Patreon fee, it turned out to be like 15%, which is a lot. Last week in Build Something More, I actually went through and figured out how much money I made and how much they took in fees. But their fee structure was a mystery to me. I understood it in the sense of the technological level or the philosophical level, right? People pay me and then I post stuff to Patreon that they get access to. I also didn’t really understand how the Patreon platform worked. The main reason being I overpromised and I under-delivered. And I carry that guilt to this day.īut there were a bunch of reasons why Patreon did not work for me. ![]() But it was pretty bad because a couple of people signed up but I definitely under-delivered for them. I would say miserably is nobody signed up. So let’s get into this episode.įirst of all, again, I told you last week how I failed miserably… not miserably. #TEXTEXPANDER EDUCATION DISCOUNT FREE#If you want to hear how I built it first and then sign up later, feel free to do that, too.

But because they do so many other things, if the chatbot doesn’t work, maybe I can build out a quiz or a calculator instead. Now, recently, over on my YouTube channel, I talked all about: are chatbots worth it and Outgrowhas given me a simple solution to test out whether a chatbot is worth it for me. So they built a SaaS tool called Outgrowso that any marketer or entrepreneur can build calculators and interactive tools to improve their customer acquisition. Outgrowco-founders started by designing a mobile app cost calculator and quickly saw the power of interactive tools. It’s a growth marketing platform that enables marketers to create intuitive, no-code tools, such as calculators, chatbots, assessments, and quizzes.
