@tnorthcutt @SamanthaGeitz @productpeopletv @GoBetafish Yup! Listen to this one!

I'm also publishing my whole chat with @tylertringas next week. 👍

@indievc Meaning, the investment unlocks a growth increase of ~200%?

I really wish we could A/B test business models. 😅

(As in, does my company grow significantly faster if I take investment vs bootstrapping)

@curtismchale Like domain names, Twitter handles, etc... if you don't stake your claim, someone else could use your name / handle.

Also: the only way to run FB ads

@ScottMagdalein Surprising how bad the messaging is on Pages vs personal messages.

The UI on mobile is slow, and non-native for some reason.

But, like domain names, Twitter handles, etc... you kind of have to "stake your claim."

I wish I could pay FB to just forward my FB page to my website. 😜

🤦‍♂️ Having a Facebook Page for your business is a pain in the ass (especially compared to Twitter).

👉 Terrible UX (everything is slow, convoluted UI, messaging is terrible).
👉 The leads that come through FB aren't great.
👉 You have to pay to organically reach your followers?

RT @productpeopletv: 👩‍💻 Finally a new episode!

"Programming's gateway drug" with @SamanthaGeitz of @GoBetafish & @TightenCo.

Really good…

@tylertringas @david_perell @randfish Can I listen to this conversation as a podcast? 😜

@rrhoover Dang. That's not good "before bed reading" for me. 😩

@Shpigford Recently I've just been using checklists: "What do I want to accomplish today?"

Have you found a lot of benefit to scheduling "deep work, work, and shallow work" blocks? Trying to figure out if that would bring the right kind of intention to my day.

@shaunpersad @m1guelpf @CommentBox_io 🙌

@ianlandsman Now this is poker TV I'd watch.

Great article about community design and raising kids:

This isn't true!

@darianrosebrook @Shpigford That is a great slogan.

@Shpigford you got my vote.

I'll also be editing it as an episode for @productpeopletv and probably a shorter version for Build your SaaS.

Really good chat with @tylertringas.

Now I have a way better understanding of what he's doing with http://earnestcapital.co. 👍

Bootstrapping is hard. Bootstrappers need more options.

@GoMattEhr Yeah! I learned a ton.

There's lots about @tylertringas' funding model that makes it unique (and probably a better fit for bootstrappers)

Live: talking to @tylertringas about how he's planning to help bootstrappers raise money for their startups. https://www.pscp.tv/w/bqyh-zM4NTU1MXwxWXFLRHl6T29vd0dWW1OzcDnVdVZNLRKPT_fGBgYMSSX6MKjBWMkNK2whjhU=

🤔 What questions should I ask him?

👨‍💻 Phil is a great example of a dev "working in public."

He's constantly sharing screenshots, videos, and updates about what he's working on.

Do this! Even if you don't have a big following, it helps.

⚡ Great insight from @josh_earl:

"The biggest factor for unsubscribes is not the content of the email. It’s how many people OPEN the email in the first place. For every 100 opens, 1-3 will unsubscribe."

Just did the math on my list. Almost exactly 1-3%!

@jackmcdade @patio11 I believe the idea is: "if I need to provide my own videographer, it's $5k."

@n0ther_guy @patio11 It was recorded at @microconf but the videos are only available for https://www.foundercafe.com/ members I believe.

@ideasasylum But I agree that there could be a $999 plan in our future.

@ideasasylum I agree, but i think that’s what we’re trying to figure out. Because “monthly downloads” is part of the value we deliver.

🤔 Are your startup's expenses too high? https://overcast.fm/+MBmUIRqSw

@JohnONolan @yuzool @RevolutApp Or Canada. 😔

@beberlei It's true. We've enabled comments in episodes in the past, but it's hit or miss.

The problem is that folks are generally on their phones.

The action (with the least amount of friction) seems to be: "take out your phone and tweet us!"

@stefanbauerme @megamaker Dang! That setup is a dream! 😍

@iChris Dang! I'm sad that I missed this one.

🎙️ Want to get into podcasting?

I just did a big update on my beginner's guide here:
https://justinjackson.ca/submit-podcast-itunes

@beberlei Totally.

BUT, sometimes the less expensive option is "just fine" or even better!

@incredimike @jonbuda We could, but what we've seen is more complexity in pricing really turns customers off.

Need a simple metric that makes sense.

Here's the episode. I know this one will be controversial.

Eager to get your feedback!

@mokagio @statamic @laravelforge Yeah. I feel like flat-file CMS is a good middle-ground between "content in the database" and "static site generator."

Whoa! Didn't realize I was on the homepage of Hacker News today! 😮
