@SweatingCommas 😰

@imchristiepitts Interesting! How does this work, practically?

Do we have to go through something like Republic?

@grantgarrett What did I miss?

RT @soundslikecanoe: Ty Haney's transparency in this article is refreshing.

@gkrinker @ccalmeja @ErnOpp @joxws Thisten is doing a version of this: https://thisten.co/f4fqy/Ik8lsYxb6HozHxOxpPQhuJ7ZNpm4GPXRwGSrsT8q

@abigailotwell It’s unbelievable. We’ve politicized scientific advice and expertise. 🤦‍♂️

@garrettdimon @adaptable_org Nice! Love the colors.

@chadkoh @datamase @NAChristakis What grade would that get 🇨🇦 ? 😬

As @NAChristakis says:

“It’s impossible to completely neutralize the virus. There will be economic costs (no matter what). BUT... we can do much better.”

Everyone with a business in North American should be concerned about this.

Trump is incompetent.

His incompetence has lead to the worst possible situation going into the winter.

The USA set a record on Friday (98,000 new infections).

@michaeldyrynda @northsouthaudio @JacobBennett @thenpingme Nice 🙌

I’m just here trying to find myself.

@SamanthaGeitz Congrats! 🎉

@lylemckeany Yup. @steveschoger (he later published Refactoring UI with @adamwathan)

@kwuchu 🙌

RT @ziibiing: I voted for Joe Biden. He wasn't my ideal choice. But I did it.

I don't think it will fix things if he wins. People make cha…

@chasewreeves That’s an interesting point.

@copyenhance @coreyhainesco @TransistorFM Hey, @pocketcasts doesn't currently have an API (that we know of).

Instead, we try to use your Apple Podcasts ID to backfill your Pocket Casts URL.

@shanerostad @coreyhainesco @TransistorFM I've got a bug report in for that as well. 👍

@chrisachard @r00k @cgenco @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas Yes! I've got a bug report for that one. 👍

@chrisachard @r00k @cgenco @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas Chris: you'll need to submit to Apple Podcasts to get a profile on Overcast (they use Apple's directory).

Good news: as of yesterday, we've made this *really* easy.

@stefannibrasil Yes! That’s one of my favorite parts. 👍

https://transistor.fm/changelog/publishing-checklist/

@petersuhm 💯 huge observation.

The religious (specifically evangelical) culture in North America has had a huge impact on creative people here.

(And... lots of non-religious devs here started by making band websites too)

@richardslatter has the way embedded audio works changed at Twitter?

Audio Cards no longer play in the native apps (although, they do on the web).

Hey @jonbuda I found our retirement home:

@cgenco @r00k @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas @chrisachard Just added you to this list 🏆

@chrisachard @cgenco @r00k @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas AWWWW YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@cgenco @r00k @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas @chrisachard AWWWWW YEAAAAAH!!!! 🔥

Love it.

@TylerMKing @louisnicholls_ @podcastpage @TransistorFM It’s definitely something we’re planning on adding (I want it too!).

We just want to make sure that whatever we create is sustainable, and doesn’t become a monster. 😜

@TylerMKing @louisnicholls_ @podcastpage @TransistorFM Yup, I agree with all of this. It’s something we’re felt/identified from the beginning (the current website was originally intended only for the Good News podcast).

But building a CMS is no light task. 😅

We have to be especially careful that we don’t cause way more support.

@venikunche Sending you ❤️

@_RyanBorn Was this for Cloud Campaign?

You were reaching agency owners (B2B market) on FB?

This! 💯

Some products have waaaaay more demand than others. Don’t settle! https://twitter.com/JamesClear/status/1321918500290646017

@_RyanBorn What’s LTV?

@supremerumham They might have originally seeded from Apple’s directory.

@AnthonyCastrio Yup! You still need to log in with your Apple ID.

Here's the official announcement:
https://transistor.fm/changelog/distribution/

Super excited about today’s new http://Transistor.fm release! 🎉 https://twitter.com/TransistorFM/status/1321870332983042048

@adii Nice! Love that this product is in a niche I don’t understand at all: excited to learn from you.

“Audience” is an amplifier, but it’s rarely the foundation you build your business on.

There should be existing demand, outside of your influence; almost none of us have an audience big enough to carry a SaaS on our own. https://twitter.com/leandropinter/status/1321759961039335425

@IAmAliBrouhan @TransistorFM Yup! Migrating is easy:

A thought provoking podcast from @tortoise about religion and morality in politics:

https://share.transistor.fm/s/10ed9709

@tnorthcutt Updated: https://6seconds.transistor.fm/

@tnorthcutt It’s an old old podcast. I need to update that stuff.

@rsimplicio Thanks.

Here’s a recent example:

(Really hope I can figure this out! I want podcasting/video voice back.)

https://youtu.be/MouqG5M8ozE

For the last month my voice has been scratchy and cracky.

I *think* it’s related to allergies (hoping to see the doc soon).

But...

Professional voiceover & radio people: have you run into anything similar?

Any tips?

@paulbellows @Jonflarson @yellowpencilweb Listening now!

@Swizec @dceddia @ScreenFlow Can you explain this more? Not sure what you mean.

@dceddia @ScreenFlow Yes. But it’s always set correct for your mic + camera setup.

Really loving having it “just work” in Ecamm Live.

I really wish I could set a "mic delay" in @ScreenFlow the same way I can in Ecamm Live.

Screenflow: please add this!

@runako LTV, yup.

@paidinsights LTV.

Probably the best podcast episode I've ever recorded:

https://share.transistor.fm/s/21d5c4e7

I've done dozens of ad experiments (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit) for multiple SaaS companies over the years. Reasonable budgets + tracking.

I've yet to see a decent ROI from these types of ads.

Anyone in SaaS seeing good (statistically relevant) results?

I just finished reading Windup Girl and loved it.

What should I read next?

@StarrHorne That movie was huge for my class and I. I was 16 when it came out. Huge date movie. Everyone got the soundtrack.

@seanwes Still really early. Evaluating different premises.

@jessicamalnik That one was on Ebay. But it's $2,800! 😮😮😮

@Josh412 yes.

Look at these inputs/outputs!

(see you later, going to record all my podcasts on boomboxes now)

BTW - if you want to buy me an early Christmas present, this one is 😍

$1,500 - $2,500 for an old '80s boombox?

Daaaaaaaamn.

(Why isn't Sharp, Sanyo, and Sony doing re-releases of all these?)

Wow. Congrats on 20 year @Wildbit!

Their leadership, people, and mission are inspiring to @jonbuda and I. https://twitter.com/natalienagele/status/1320788649269743620

@seanwes I'm thinking about starting a private (paid) podcast...

If you're interested in building your own business (SaaS or info-product), this interview between @csallen and @robwalling is a must-listen:

@StuSim @TransistorFM @NathanWorden Nice! Thanks for using Transistor! 🙌

@MostLoveMusic I can’t tell if you’re saying this sarcastically.

@oldcryptogeek I just can’t. 🤯🤭

America! Seriously. Your public institutions act like this? IN PUBLIC?

This is so absurd and juvenile it doesn’t seem real. https://twitter.com/JudiciaryGOP/status/1320878683423428609

@chrisfosterelli lol

@cgimmer Are companies adding bitcoin to their reserves?

Curiously, I discovered him because of this open-source project. 😄

#audio" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://plyr.io/#audio

@saeidhalvaeian @Kishi_bashi Funny enough, I found his track on this open-source project. 🤣

#audio" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://plyr.io/#audio

Kishi Bashi is on Spotify here:
https://open.spotify.com/artist/3LVPGE5jPPwtbGslx07YR0

Ok, how come nobody told me about @Kishi_bashi?

One track after the other, and I'm in love.

Feel-good sunlight music vibes all day long:

@noyokono @jhooks @TransistorFM Awesome! (Transistor co-founder here).

Let me know if you have questions or need help setting anything else up!

(Feel free to DM me)

@cgimmer How does Bitcoin price stability compare with gold over the last 5 years?

@derrickreimer @savvycal_ Damn you’re good at this.

- Incredible product person (look at that UI 😍)
- Awesome marketer (all your assets are 💯)

Yes! The most important marketing occurs *before* you launch.

Building anticipation, growing your subscriber list, having people talk about it, releasing teasers: all crucial. https://twitter.com/petersuhm/status/1320700085496328194

@mattragland @podia Awwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaahhhh 🔥

@SteveSaretsky Canada’s house price increases seem quite modest compared to all the other countries?

@jonfitzsimon @justinvincent @ted_pitts @harryhollander Yes, but the “total market value” for cold brew coffee is huge.

Your customers want cold brew coffee.

They’re searching for it on Amazon, which is a channel.

You’re selling a version of it, which people are buying.

But it’s the category as a whole that’s pulling in customers.

@farez @gumroad 👍

@jonfitzsimon @justinvincent @ted_pitts @harryhollander Coffee (and all its derivatives) is a massive market.

Because the market is so big, speciality coffees can do quite well.

My guess is that the total market for flavored cold brew coffee grounds (sold on Amazon) is quite large.

RT @mijustin: Typically, we start our funnels at "number of visitors" but in reality the funnel looks like this:

Total market > Visitors…

@chasewreeves Oh man. So good.

@femkesvs Wow! Looks incredible.

@sambreed r u trapped in jurassic park

@rimenes @TransistorFM I deleted that episode (that’s why it’s not avail)

If you’re considering building a product where many people have failed, you should be highly confident that the tectonic plates of the market have shifted.

“I’m going to do it better” isn’t enough.

https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1318850487895183361?s=20

@camlangsford Some of it you can anticipate in advance:

- how many people are already buying similar products?
- have multiple businesses tried what I’m doing and failed?

Some of this evaluation happens once you start the business:

- is this sustainable?
- are my margins high enough?

@alexjpanagis @pjrvs Almost never unsolicited.

Unsolicited advice is hard (foolish?) to take – you have no bearing on who the advice giver is, if they’re trustworthy, what they know, how they know it, etc...

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1048677683549224960?s=20

@vponamariov I think you’d want to engage this kind of thinking once you’re already in motion.

Similar to what @richardbranson says here:

https://justinjackson.ca/risks

@pjrvs Almost 100% of the time, outsiders don’t understand the underlying factors in a market/business.

Without context, advice is almost always bad.

@_brandswell The best search engine for this is probably @ListenNotes.

I like this line of questioning:

“What is % chance that I sell nothing?”
“What is % chance that I sell $10k, $100k, $1 million, $10 million, etc?”

And finally:

“Is that probability for success worth the risk + effort + opportunity costs?” https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1319757058036518912
