Many people overcomplicate their lives. They publish on various social media platforms. They focus on multiple tools.

They are everywhere. And they are easily distracted.

When I started my online business, I made the same mistake. I used so many tools to run a side hustle. And then I lost control.

I felt overwhelmed.

That was my 2023 tech stack:

  • Twitter (X)

  • Instagram

  • Typefully

  • MailerLite

  • Carrd

  • SparkLoop

  • Gumroad

  • Skool

  • KDP

  • Medium

  • Grammarly

  • Hemingway editor

  • Headline Analyzer

  • Bento

  • Canva

  • Google Docs

There was far too much of it. Eventually, I realized that simplicity is the key.

I followed a one platform, one product strategy. And now this is my current tech stack:

  • Blogging: Medium

  • Newsletter: Substack

  • Community: Skool

  • Social media: Threads

  • Products: Gumroad

  • Design: Canva

And you? How many tools do you use?

Thanks for reading!
