That's not odd at all? The mechanic who builds and understands cars, need not be the best driver.

Someone who makes tractors might not be the best farmer. Same for a piano and a musician.

Just because you can make a tool doesn't mean you are the best at using it.

Forget 'being best at using'; has the tool worked for you at all? In this case, the answer is no. So why would I buy it, then?

You're absolutely right, and I appreciate the honesty. The tool hasn't actually worked for me yet - I've been so focused on building features and trying to help others that I haven't spent nearly enough time learning to use it myself properly. That's probably the real problem. I'm asking people to trust a marketing tool when I'm clearly still figuring out marketing myself. I think I need to step back, actually use my own product consistently for a few months, and get good at this before expecting anyone else to believe in it. Thanks for calling that out - sometimes you need someone to state the obvious thing you're avoiding.
