Build it the simple way

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Your first digital product doesn’t need a funnel, automations, or a 47-step launch plan.

You just need a solid product and a simple way to deliver it.

Here’s how to build it without overbuilding:

Pick the simplest format

Choose what’s easiest for you to create and easiest for them to use.

PDF? Great.
Google Doc? Perfect.
Loom video? Go for it.
Notion template? Cool.

Don’t overcomplicate this. Your goal is to help them solve a problem—not impress them with your tech skills.

Use tools you already know

Now is not the time to sign up for 3 new platforms. Use what you’ve got. You can always upgrade later.

You can:

Sell with a Stripe payment link
Deliver with a Google Drive folder
Track purchases with a spreadsheet

Low-tech can still mean high-impact.

Finish it fast

Set a timer and ship it.

Give yourself one week (or one weekend) to go from idea to done.

Done is better than perfect.

Most people get stuck here.

They spend months building, tweaking, and never launch.

You don’t need perfect. You just need the first version.

Build it simple. Build it fast. Get it out there.

Hit reply and let me know: What tool or format are you thinking of using?

I appreciate you.

All our good ideas were accidents.

Hey Reader, One of the most important lessons I've learned over the last 11+ years building Teach Better is that many of our best ideas were sort of accidental. They were not things we came up with in a strategic meeting. They didn't come from the multiple day-long meetings we've had with carefully selected mentors and advisors. They weren't born from deep dives into business books, business strategies, or business planning frameworks. They came from paying attention to what the people we...

What if you're not behind?

Hey Reader, I have the absolute honor of working with some really brilliant and passionate educators who are building successful businesses and doing truly great work. Regardless of if I'm coaching a veteran EDUpreneur who is trying to grow from hitting 6-figures to that quarter-million mark, or brainstorming with our mastermind to help a new member determine what their new business will be, one of the most common things I hear is people feeling like they are behind, like they aren't growing...
