| I am going through the same thing myself right now. After eight years of running this small product, I’ve gotten to the point where the revenue hasn’t increased significantly, but the complexity of Admin work has increased exponentially. I plan to make it this year’s theme to simplify. For me that means: - automating or delegating all recurring tasks; - eliminating all processes that have become complex but are not worth it; Eg: - I plan to move from Stripe to Paddle (MoR) because I don’t want to deal with EU taxes anymore; we’ve save me a few hours every month + A few hundred dollars on accounting; - we gave an affiliate program that isn’t working out great; i plan to cut it; - we have a referral program… same, cut it; - we have a public email address, cut it; - etc. In addition, what’s worked for me so far is day-theming. Mon & Tue are for admin and management. Wed-Fri are creative - I don’t even open my inbox some days. I checked recently, the world is not on fire. P.S. One of the automation tools I use it https://recurrr.com - saves me a few hours every month. Not a lot. But enough to have kept it alive for the past 7 years (under a different name). |
