What I Learned from Asking, “How did you build that?”
I’ve asked nearly 100 people one pointed question: “How did you build that?” I’ve gotten a lot of great answers and they’ve helped me grow as an entrepreneur. In this talk, I’ll share what I’ve learned with you.
In short, I was just asking. • Having Conversations asking folks this same question in preparation to launch my online course website • Saw great value • Wanted to make them public
automation tools are important to me. • Chris Lema talked about using Zapier to “connect the dots.” He automated his sales funnel, and even mailers. • Rebecca Gill told me about Follow-Up Emails for WooCommerce, which keeps buyers engaged • Shawn Hesketh talked about engagements in LiferLMS • Beka Rice taught us about Jilt & automation to help with cart abandonment
Code, Local, Valet, and a whole host of dev tools. • Pippin Williamson talks about the benefits of having a light development environment (which I love) • Both Joost De Valk and Daniel Bachhuber talked about using automated testing tools. Behat is a popular tool • Bryce Adams talked about how great learning Vue.js for Metorik was.
Email is still the best form of marketing! • WooCommerce or EDD. Many guests used one of the other. WC if they wanted to do more than just digital products • Zapier for automation • Genesis for Theme Building • Help Scout for Support
