๐ฒ Let's talk Tech Stacks going into 2025! I'm working on heavily reducing mine and going all in on promoting my membership. I've been paying close to $1,000 monthly and looking to reduce it all to $400 - $500 monthly.
๐ธ Previously I sold digital products via funnels and I had my favorite apps for certain features.
I'd love to hear from those that want to participate, what your tech stack is currently, what you're paying for it, why you're using it, and what you plan on eliminating or adding.
Here's mine:
โ Working On Removing:
๐ป Kajabi | $199 | Working On Removing | Where I host my courses and ebooks. I've been paying for it for years only using it to host my digital products. Too expensive for what I need and not utilizing any of the additional features.
๐ SamCart | $159 | Working On Removing | My favorite checkout platform, but I'm funneling everything to my Skool about page instead since deciding to go all in for my membership.
๐ค Debating Keeping:
๐ง ActiveCampaign | $128.88 | Debating Keeping | CRM and email automation platform for managing and segmenting my email list - feel like I'm overpaying, not getting much use out of it.
๐ Zapier | $73.50 | Debating Keeping | Helps me automate workflows and send updates through Slack and other tools. Trying to decide if I really need it at this point or to switch to a cheaper plan on it's competitor - Make.
๐ ๏ธ Termly | $20 | Debating Keeping | Used to generate terms, privacy policies, etc. on website, not really using website much, debating keeping.
๐ SiteGround | $539.88/Yearly | | Debating Keeping | Hosting for my website.
โ
Keeping:
๐จ Canva | $12.95 | Keeping | My go-to tool for designing graphics, slide decks, social media posts, and more, absolutely love it!
๐ค ChatGPT | $20 | Keeping | I have so many AI assistants at this point I've trained, I expect this to be in my tech stack for a long time.
๐ฒ ManyChat | $15 | Keeping | My auto-dm tool I use on Instagram when people respond with a specific keyword. Mainly using to promote my Skool Community and Freebie Lead Magnets (Google docs) that will also have a CTA to Skool.
๐น Vimeo Pro | $20 | Keeping | Hosts videos embedded in my Skool community.
๐ข Google Workspace | $21.60 | Keeping | Primarily for my custom domain email and suite of tools.
๐ Meta Verified | $23.99 | Keeping | Adds authority and security to my Instagram and Facebook accounts.
๐ฎ Skool | $99 | Keeping | Best Platform Ever, Amirite? ๐
๐ผ๏ธ Google Domains | $84/Yearly | Keeping | I need to hold on to some domains, probably need to clean this up and get rid of a few.
ALSO, what I'm looking for:
๐ธ I'm putting together a high quality setup - Sony A6400 / Sigma 16mm f1.4 / Elgato 4k, etc. to take my content production to the next level.
๐น I'm trying to decide what tool I should be using to record my content in 4k.
I've looked at:
StreamYard
Descript
I've heard of:
Ecamm Live
Loom
๐จ Would love to get suggestions for those that are using mirrorless or DSLR cameras for content production for their Skool Communities.
