The FREE Migration That Changed Everything: How Systeme.io's White-Glove Service Saved My Business (And My Sanity)

ClickFunnels: 147/month∗∗Kajabi:∗∗149/month
ActiveCampaign: 79/month∗∗Webinar Jam:∗∗52/month
Zapier: $29/month (needed for integrations)

Monthly total: 456/month∗∗ ∗∗Annual total:5,472/year

Startup Plan: 27/month×12=∗∗324/year**
Webinar Plan: 47/month×12=∗∗564/year**
Unlimited Plan: 97/month×12=∗∗1,164/year**

Even the MOST EXPENSIVE Systeme.io plan (1,164/year) would save me 4,308/year.

But I didn't need the unlimited plan. The Webinar plan ($564/year) had everything I needed.

Potential savings: 5,472−564 = $4,908 per year

Let me put that in perspective:

• $4,908 = 3 months of rent

• $4,908 = Used car down payment

• $4,908 = Vacation to Europe

• $4,908 = Six months of groceries

• $4,908 = Real, life-changing money

And that didn't even account for:

• No more Zapier subscription ($348/year saved)

• No more template purchases ($200+/year saved)

• No more plugin/integration fees ($150+/year saved)

Actual total savings: $5,600+/year

But wait, there's more (and this is what made me emotional):

Current setup:

• 10-15 hours/week troubleshooting and maintaining

• Average 12.5 hours/week × 52 weeks = 650 hours/year

Systeme.io (based on my testing):

• Estimated 2-3 hours/week maintaining

• Average 2.5 hours/week × 52 weeks = 130 hours/year

Time saved: 520 hours/year

That's 13 full weeks of 40-hour work.

That's 3 months of full-time work.

That's 65 full days.

What could I do with 520 extra hours per year?

• Create 4-5 new courses

• Write 100+ blog posts

• Record 50+ YouTube videos

• Spend 520 hours with my family

• Actually build the business instead of fixing tech

I sat there looking at these numbers and cried.

Not because I was sad. Because I was angry at myself.

Why had I wasted so much time and money? Why didn't I look for alternatives sooner?

But also relieved. Because there was a solution. And it was right in front of me.

The process was shockingly organized and professional.

Day 1: Maria scheduled a 45-minute Zoom call.

She asked:

• What are your main funnels and what do they do?

• Which email sequences are most important?

• What's currently working well that we shouldn't change?

• What's frustrating you that we can improve?

• When do you want to go live?

I explained everything. She took notes.

At the end: "Here's what we'll do. I'll create a migration plan and send it to you within 48 hours. You'll review it and tell us what to prioritize. Then we'll start building everything in Systeme.io. You'll have access to review our progress at any time. We'll do this in phases so nothing breaks. Sound good?"

It sounded too good to be true. But I said yes.

Day 3: Maria sent a detailed migration plan:

PHASE 1 (Week 1-2): Email list and automations

• Import 847 contacts

• Rebuild 12 automation sequences

• Test thoroughly before connecting to funnels

PHASE 2 (Week 2-3): Funnels

• Recreate 5 main funnels

• Connect to email automations

• Set up payment integrations

• Test checkout process

PHASE 3 (Week 3-4): Courses

• Migrate 2 courses with all content

• Set up drip schedules

• Configure access rules

• Test student experience

PHASE 4 (Week 4): Webinars & Final Touches

• Set up webinar funnels

• Configure domain and DNS

• Final testing

• Go-live preparation

Timeline: 4 weeks total

My job: Review and approve each phase

Their job: Do the actual work

I approved the plan immediately.

Day 5: Maria's team imported all 847 contacts from ActiveCampaign.

The process:

• I exported CSV from ActiveCampaign

• Uploaded to Systeme.io

• They mapped fields (name, email, tags, etc.)

• Imported in 10 minutes

Day 6-7: They rebuilt my first automation sequence.

ActiveCampaign version:

• 27 different elements

• 8 tags

• 5 conditional branches

• Looked like a NASA control panel

Systeme.io version:

• 7 automation steps

• Visual workflow

• Same functionality

• Actually understandable

They sent me the preview: "Does this match your original sequence logic?"

I reviewed it. It did. But simpler.

Day 8-12: They rebuilt all 12 automation sequences.

Each day:

• They'd rebuild 2-3 sequences

• Send me preview links

• I'd review and approve (or request tweaks)

• They'd finalize and move to next

By Day 12: All automations were live in Systeme.io.

They tested everything:

• Sent test emails through each sequence

• Verified timing was correct

• Confirmed links worked

• Checked that triggers fired properly

Everything worked perfectly.

My time invested: About 3 hours total reviewing their work.

Their time invested: Probably 15-20 hours building and testing.

Cost to me: $0 (included in annual plan)

This was what I was most nervous about.

Funnels are complex. Multiple pages. Custom designs. Payment integrations. Lots of places for things to break.

Day 13: Migration team started on my main funnel.

Day 14: They sent me a preview link.

I clicked it.

The funnel looked... better than my ClickFunnels version.

• Cleaner design

• Faster loading

• Mobile responsive

• Professional appearance

They'd improved it while migrating it.

Day 15-18: They rebuilt all 5 funnels.

For each one:

• Recreated all pages

• Maintained my branding

• Connected email automations

• Set up payment processors (Stripe and PayPal)

• Configured thank-you pages

• Added order bumps and upsells (features I didn't even have before!)

• Tested complete customer journey

Day 19: Testing day.

Maria: "We're ready for you to test everything. Here are test payment links. Please go through the complete purchase process for each funnel. Use the test card number [provided] so you're not actually charged. Let us know if anything doesn't work exactly right."

I spent 3 hours testing:

• Opted into all funnels

• Went through all email sequences

• Completed test purchases

• Checked that I received the right access

• Verified automations triggered correctly

Found 2 small issues:

• One email had a broken link (typo in URL)

• One funnel's thank-you page didn't redirect properly

I reported them.

Day 20: Both issues fixed and retested.

Everything worked flawlessly.

My time invested: 4 hours testing
Their time invested: Probably 25-30 hours building
Cost to me: Still $0

Day 21-24: Course migration.

This was actually the easiest part.

They:

• Downloaded all my videos from Kajabi

• Uploaded to Systeme.io

• Created module structure

• Added all PDFs and resources

• Set up drip schedules

• Configured access rules

Day 25: They sent login credentials for test student accounts.

I logged in as a student and went through both courses.

Everything was there:

• Videos played perfectly

• PDFs downloaded

• Drip schedule worked

• Navigation was intuitive

• Actually looked better than my Kajabi setup

Day 26-27: Webinar setup.

They created:

• Webinar registration pages

• Automated webinar schedule

• Replay functionality

• Follow-up email sequences

• Offer presentations

Day 28: Domain and DNS configuration.

This was the scary part. Changing DNS can break everything.

Maria: "We're ready to configure your domain. This typically takes 24-48 hours to propagate. During this time, we'll keep your old setup running so nothing breaks. Once DNS propagates, we'll do a final test and then switch everything over. You'll approve the final go-live. Sound good?"

I approved.

Day 29-30: DNS propagation and final testing.

Day 31: Go-live day.

Before migration:

Every new launch meant:

• 6+ hours setting up new funnel

• Praying integrations would work

• Testing everything obsessively

• Still having things break

• Spending launch day firefighting technical issues

After migration:

New launches mean:

• 2-3 hours setting up in Systeme.io

• Everything already integrated

• Quick test, then launch confidently

• Things just work

• Spending launch day celebrating sales

Result: I went from 2 launches per year to 12 launches per year.

Before migration:

• $456/month in tool costs

• Needed $700+/month just to break even

• Every month felt financially stressful

• Couldn't invest in ads, content, or growth

After migration:

• $47/month in tool costs

• Break-even dropped to $200/month

• Room to breathe and reinvest

• Could afford to test paid traffic, hire help, invest in learning

Result: Business became profitable instead of a financial drain.

Before migration: 10-15 hours/week maintaining tech = 520-780 hours/year

After migration: 2-3 hours/week = 104-156 hours/year

I got back 420-624 hours per year.

That's equivalent to:

• 2-3 months of full-time work

• 60-90 full 8-hour days

• 840-1,248 half-hour play sessions with my daughter

Result: I became a present father and husband again, not just a stressed entrepreneur.

Before migration:

My brain space was consumed by:

• "Why isn't this integration working?"

• "How do I fix this automation?"

• "What platform handles this feature?"

• "Should I upgrade to get this capability?"

After migration:

My brain space opened up for:

• "What does my audience need next?"

• "How can I serve them better?"

• "What product should I create?"

• "How can I grow my impact?"

Result: I created more valuable content in 6 months than the previous 2 years combined.

Before migration:

• Customers complained about slow pages

• Checkout issues were common

• Email deliverability was hit-or-miss

• Support tickets about tech problems

After migration:

• Pages load instantly

• Checkout works every time

• Emails land in inboxes consistently

• Support tickets are about content questions (the good kind)

Result: Customer satisfaction increased, refunds decreased, referrals increased.

• Revenue: $800/month average

• Expenses: $456/month (tools only)

• Profit: $344/month

• Time spent on tech: 12 hours/week

• Launches: 1 struggling course

• Email list: 847 subscribers

• Sanity level: Near zero

• Revenue: $4,200/month average

• Expenses: $47/month (tools only)

• Profit: $3,800+/month

• Time spent on tech: 2-3 hours/week

• Launches: 4 successful products

• Email list: 3,800+ subscribers

• Sanity level: Healthy

• Revenue: $8,900/month average

• Expenses: $47/month (tools only)

• Profit: $8,200+/month

• Time spent on tech: 2 hours/week

• Launches: 8 successful products + membership

• Email list: 9,400+ subscribers

• Sanity level: Thriving

The migration didn't cause the growth directly.

But it removed every barrier that was preventing growth:

✓ Eliminated financial stress (could reinvest profits)
✓ Freed up time (to create and market)
✓ Reduced technical friction (could launch confidently)
✓ Improved customer experience (higher conversion rates)
✓ Restored mental health (creative energy returned)

The free migration didn't just save me $4,900/year.

It unlocked $100,000+/year in revenue growth.

Let me be clear about the requirements (because I want you to have accurate expectations):

If I could go back, here's what I'd tell myself:

Ask yourself these questions:

Don't overthink this. Here's exactly what to do:

I spent weeks testing, evaluating, and migrating.
