Need

Why is my tool worth getting

  1. 1

    I make cool things (and am capable)

    • There is a lot of bla around by people who aren’t terribly good at Excel/PowerPoint etc
    • You’ll see attention to detail and actual thought put into what I gift you (so you aren’t wasting your time)
  2. 2

    My free tools are better than what some charge for

    • I only made tools because I couldn’t find anything I would use myself
    • Even if you don’t ‘actually need the tool’, the point is to teach you concepts you can apply
  3. 3

    I don’t have a hardcore marketing funnel

    • I make tools to actually help founders
    • You aren’t going to be hounded with emails to get you to buy things
    • Whilst I do sell some stuff, seeing the quality I give for free is way better marketing than using fancy words to convince you

I have feedback to improve

I’d love feedback from you!

How do I open the file?

When you press download in an email from me, it normally saves to your Downloads folder.

So go there first to find the file.

I normally have to ZIP the file so it will work with SaaS automation systems.

So get WinZip, WinRAR, use whatever Mac/PC offers these days. Unzip the file (Right click and press “uncompress” etc). If you don’t know how to do this, then use Google.

Once you uncompress, the ZIP file will remain and you will see a new file (sort download folder by date modified if confused).

I assure you that everything I provide works, so if you can’t access, it’s a ‘you’ problem.

Can I sell / share your tools?

No.

You can share a link to this page, which would be much appreciated!

Can I share your tools on social media?

Please share the link to this page. It would be super-appreciated, but only if you like it!

If you don’t like it, then leave a comment or shoot me an email first so I can take your feedback on board first and see if I can improve!
