@arvidkahl @tylertringas I think we should talk about the downsides of transparency more often.

@mikeoliver_me @pjrvs @bgardner Such a great book. 👌

@paidinsights Which ones did you end up choosing?

@avclark In my experience, dynamic ads eventually lead to this, because the tech is designed to treat ads like “inventory.”

The creative element isn’t considered.

The dynamic ads aren’t smart enough to consider the context surrounding the ad spot.

@cgenco I dig it!

@michaeldyrynda Haha. What do you mean?

“What is rare is not raw talent, skill, or even confidence, but humility, diligence, and self-awareness.”

@MatthewBogart 🙌

@joshuaanderton @podmelon @upscribe_ Great to hear this update. 👍

@charliprangley Nice to read your review! I’m glad you’ve settled in Spain, and have a “home base” now. 🙌

@cgenco “Freshly cut Costa Rican mango. Yum.” 😜

@breslin Yes, they can be geotargeted.

@ChrisANeal Really wonderful!

A jarring dynamically-inserted ad.

Obnoxious, loud, and ill-timed; completely ruins this podcast’s narrative flow.

I’ll take host-read ads over this any day. 🙉

@GunnarSvalander Thanks!

Wondering how podcasting works?

I just recorded some simple instructions here:

https://transistor.fm/how-podcasting-works

@blairrorani Haha. Yup, they’ve got this dialed in.

@derek_kramar @vernbot @ratiovernon we need donuts by mail

@mnlfrgr I’d love to see some studies on this.

My gut instinct is that most coffee shop owners search “email marketing” or “email newsletter” see MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, Campaigner, and just sign up for that.

The top 3 links (or ads) get most of the traffic (and most of the sales)

@flowymitchell @ideasasylum lol. yessss. that’s dancing music.

A pre-made template is a powerful way for getting people in motion.

Having a starting point is really motivating for humans.

@bgardner Love it. Thank you!

I think 🇨🇦 @canada could benefit from more renter-friendly policies like this. https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1218430562416807937

@KateBour Curious: what jobs do you hire marketing podcasts to do in your life, Kate?

For me, I often listen to business podcasts in the morning, on the way to the office, to give myself new ideas and inspiration.

@bgardner ❤️

@DailyTekk @TransistorFM That looks like an AWS error. I’ll look and see if there’s something going on on their side too

@DailyTekk @TransistorFM I’ll take a look.

There are many marketing channels you can use for your business, but (for me) these two have consistently outperformed everything else:

1. Intent-based searches on Google
2. Word-of-mouth referrals

@iChris Lol. Love these.

@ThisIsTrue @bk_moore Hahahaha.

(True though, I put all my courses on Podia, and cancelled tons of old domains while I focus on Transistor)

@ODPomery Is this a coworking space?

@m1guelpf now everyone just uses dial-up modems

@tommyschaefer Lol

Happy Donut Friday from @ratiovernon

@kvlly The only thing I can really listen to at work is SoundCloud mixes.

@taimurabdaal self discipline requires much resources!! 😂

@noplanstomerge haven’t listened yet but I’m assuming this whole episode is you guys just making fun of me 😜

@chasewreeves My 14 year-old is super into war history. Would he dig it?

A few that come to mind:

- Kale: was originally used for decorative uses, but was repositioned as health food in the 1990s.
- Lacroix: hipsters looking to cut back on sugar helped reposition the brand, and triple the company’s revenue.

Sometimes, lackluster products can succeed when they’re repositioned for a different market.

Can you folks think of any examples?

@jillbinder Daaaaaaang

@coreyhainesco I found a bunch of examples for @joltbook. I’ll send you a copy.

@_architexture_ Sweet! 👌

As a dad of four(!), I’m really enjoying @alexisohanian’s new podcast. https://twitter.com/alexisohanian/status/1215456934490279936

@hopsoft So true.

@GregorySchier Did you update the “published” date as well?

@alantocheri @aarondfrancis 🤣

@memberspace @TransistorFM Looks great! Thanks, @wardsandler & @ryan_bennick!

@_AlexGaribay @ScreenFlow Yes. That too! ☝️

“@ScreenFlow but for podcast audio editing.”

@ow Simplii is “not bad.”

(But not great)

@ow Yeah, it’s pretty bleak.

For personal banking there’s Simplii and Tangerine, but they have no branches (if you need that).

For business banking... it’s just the worst.

@ArlonAntonius Just while @Jonbuda is away.

“Each town, each neighborhood, each building, has a particular pattern of events according to its prevailing culture.”

This part in “The Timeless Way of Building” is incredible:

“We can come alive only to the extent the buildings and towns we live in are alive. To understand this clearly, we must first recognize that what a town or building is, is governed, above all, by what is happening there”

@DustinLeblanc Lol. @pjrvs got that guy to do a video for me:
