Life and Estate Planning Made Easy

September 19, 2021 Strong lessons learned - Keep pushing

While I was no where near my goal of my first 100 customers, I did have a few sales in month one and a few already in September. I've learned that even though people are recognize the need to establish a life and estate plan, doesn't mean they're going o do it, even if you remove the friction. Even if those people are your friends and family. Getting people to take action, when they know it's the right thing to do, is not easy.

Over the next 30 days, i plan to increase the accountability portion of my launch. This means, I plan to put my name to it. As a licensed attorney and experience in this field, I'm hoping this approach will bring credibility to the product and platform. I don't want this to be "just another get a will quick platform." I'm also going to plan to host my first AMA in the next 30 days.

During this time, i'll also kick off a targeted campaign focused on teachers. More to come.

For Indie Hackers, i'm extending the discount through the end of the year. The AMA is open to you. You can direct message me, leave a comment with a question, or email me at documents@simplifiedwills.com.

Discount Code: indiehackers (50% off bundle packages). https://www.simplifiedwills.com/estate-bundles

Here are questions to think about?

  1. Is there a clear plan in place to make health care decisions if something were to happen to you and you were not able to make those decisions?
  2. If you have minor children, who will take care of them if something happens to you?
  3. Who will inherit your assets (home, bank accounts, car, personal property, etc.) if something happens to you?
  4. Do I want the state to dictate who gets my property?

Those are just a few questions to serve as food for thought. Let me know what questions you have.

Cheers,

Bobby

September 6, 2021 Goal to 100 not achieved

I recognize this may be more about hitting the milestones we set forth for our start-ups, however, I think it's important to reflect on not hitting that goal and what's next.

I set a goal to get my first 100 customers in the month of August. Agreessive, I know, but worth shooting for. In setting this goal, I thought the volumen would have been driven by friends and family. I missed to goal by 90%.

The bright side is I managed to have customers and it really did feel good. I received some very good feedback that I've incorprated into the product. I've yet to build my marketing / sales funnel, so that is the goal i've set for this month.

August 1, 2021 Why now?

As former practicing attorney, I identified a need to make life and estate planning documents more accessible and affordable to the masses. More importantly, i identified the opportunity to help people underststand what is in their documents, how they work, and whyare the so dang important. I wanted to automate this process 10 years ago. This didn't happen because i'm not a coder and the no-code resources were not available.

Fast forward, i've taken the time to create this product, despite other players in the field. The posting of this product to Indie Hackers is a huge milestone for me. I'm excited - yet petrified.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you all. Please share any feedback you may have on the website or the product should you give it a try.
