@taylorotwell Wow! Mono looks incredible.

If you missed my #MicroConf talk on product validation, it’s on the “Build Your SaaS” podcast.

(my guess is @iChris has been doing this for years but never told me about it 😄)

I think I just built an automated podcast-emailing-machine with @TransistorFM + @MailChimp.

If it works, I'll show you how I did it tomorrow!

RT @punchlinecopy: Hey #MicroConf, last chance to get in on the office hours I'm holding just for y'all. Sign up to the list (and get a fre…

@TransistorFM First iteration of podcast analytics are now live in your account! 🙌

(And yes, I’m proud to have @edgardpodcast hosted on @TransistorFM!)

⚡️🎧⚡️

@lovevalgeisler Omg.

Every time you get to inbox zero @hotdogsladies gets an email.

@VelocityWong YESSSSSS

Love seeing creative side-projects from people at @basecamp.

The latest: @edgardpodcast is an interactive audio adventure by @shildner.

It's unlike any other podcast I've listened to. Listeners help direct the hero's actions via tweets.

Ever wonder why people buy your product?

Jim was going to unsubscribe from my mailing list.

But, instead, he became one of the first customers for @TransistorFM.

Here's how it happened:

@KameoCA @TransistorFM Looks like something still isn't set up right. Can you send me a Team Invite inside Transistor? Let me look at your domain settings.

⚡️ Want an influencer to share your landing page? Not likely.

Instead 👉 write a case study that tells a compelling story about how you helped someone overcome obstacles in their life.

That's waaaaay more shareable. 👍

Also enjoyed @StephHalligan's perspective on this episode! ☝️

(You two should do more episodes together. Good chemistry!)

@PerceptionsLive Whoa! Glad you made it home safe!

Really digging @MattGiovanisci’s podcast.

“How to work from home AND take care of yourself.”

RT @Wickerpedia: @mijustin It's like when your waiter asks, "How was everything?" You know you're going to say "good" even though it was me…

@joanyanw Yes! I’m like this too: but the real truth comes when you ask for a commitment. Otherwise, folks are just being nice.

@vanessapagan Beauty; that’d be awesome.

@vanessapagan Any video?

@locn @cgenco If @vanessapagan can get me a video clip, I’ll put it in the video for sure!!

Working on a #microconf 2018 highlights video. @cgenco gave me his incredible drone shots. This is going to be 💯!

In startups, self-delusion is the enemy.

Don’t be satisfied when people say they “like your idea.”

Take it the extra mile. Ask for some sort of commitment.

@shanesmithau Yes! Exactly. Self-delusion is the enemy.

@bookoisseur Not even a phone call? 😮

@RichardGorbutt lol

Why is follow-up important?

When you follow up you get the "real truth" about your idea.

"That sounds cool" will either turn into:

"Sorry, I'm not really interested."

or

"Yes! I'm signing up right now."

@JTep @lostinspacetv Ah. We just finished episode 2.

RT @venikunche: I went to @MicroConf this week and it was amazing. I learned so much. Here are a few highlights! This thread will be useful…

@MarcLittlemore Yup. 😁

@MarcLittlemore We also have a 15 and 12 year old, so these little guys have seen some scary movies! 😮

@MSchechter We just finished episode 2.

@SirCharlesW727 We just finished episode 2.

Watching “Lost in Space” (on Netflix) with my boys (8 and 10).

Perfect family television.

@AltSysEt It helps if you’ve experienced the struggle firsthand, but it’s not always necessary.

@jayclouse Are you talking about the Apple Podcasts app?

Yes! Help your customers achieve their dreams first (and yours will come true as a by-product).

@evagabrielita Thanks Gabriela! Glad you enjoyed it.

@tavon @cgenco You two were a great team! 👍

@jayclouse What have been some of the big struggles?

@RichardGorbutt Lol. Omg. Chuck E Cheese is the best way to follow up Vegas.

It was great meeting you Richard!

@avclark I've been digging it too.

@earthlingworks Omg. Who does that?

@_chrismarin Amazing.

@_chrismarin Hahaha. I was just speaking at a conf in Vegas. Missed hanging out.

@alphacolin @bryce @JessaOrme When are you folks going to come visit me in remote BC 🇨🇦?

🌲🌲⛰🏔

RT @kylefox: The more you do, the less you criticize.

@kylefox @daverodenbaugh So true.

@nathanallotey Lol. This is a perfect re-dramatization. 😂

Thanks @SingleFounder, @Castro4prsdnt and @robwalling for organizing another great event! 👍

@josephmarksjr Calico Hills! Just outside of Vegas.

#MicroConf has the best people. Such an incredible conference. 🙌

@dennmart @mikeherreraTD @megamaker Yesss!!! Support the Kickstarter!

Only 13 hours left on the @MxPx Kickstarter!

Here's @mikeherreraTD and I chatting on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/1WpynyoWk6M

Got to see @csallen and @patio11 speak at #microconf today.

@stripe has hired two incredible storytellers. Some of the best talks I’ve seen. 🙌

“Spend more of your time digging deeper into the market. Once you start digging deeper you’ll discover all sorts of undiscovered gold.”
– @csallen #microconf

“If you have feature-parity with a competitor, you can differentiate yourself with good copywriting.”
– @mariepoulin #microconf

“Product demos are so humbling.”
– @mariepoulin #microconf

☝️ truth

“What would your SaaS look like if you designed it on purpose?”
– @mariepoulin #microconf

☝️ love this question

“You don’t need to be an entrepreneur for the rest of your life. Sometimes getting a job is the best thing you can do.”
– @garrettdimon #microconf

“For solopreneurs, there’s a lot of safety in recurring revenue. Even if you’re laid-up in bed, you’re earning an income.”
– @garrettdimon #microconf

@jonbuda 😍

Don't write any code. Use tools."

⚡️ @garrettdimon from @Wildbit on stage talking about overcoming struggles in life and business. #microconf

@jhooks @kaisdavis Yes! ☝️

“Facebook ads don’t have to be complicated, time consuming, or expensive.”
– @mojcamars #microconf

RT @mikeherreraTD: Any of you tech entrepreneurs should check out this podcast I was just on! @megamaker https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/992058493115887622

“No matter how many hours I work, I can only get 3 things done a week.”
– @patio11 #microconf

“There are infinite voices on the internet. You want to find the audience that resonates with your voice.”
– @patio11 #microconf

“Build a marketing platform before you build a product.”
– @patio11 #microconf

This has been a reoccurring theme here at #microconf:

“Instead of asking: ‘what should I build?’ Ask: ‘who should I serve?’” – @patio11

@james_s_tayler I dug it!

.@patio11’s advice:

- make more small bets
- decide quickly on reversible things
- do things which still matter in 40 years

#microconf

Just finished uploading my interview with @mikeherreraTD of @mxpx to the @megamaker show!

"Bootstrapping a band."

Learn about their $200k+ kickstarter for the new album!

@james_s_tayler Sweet! Glad it was helpful.

RT @swyx: Great talk by @mijustin. Who’s gonna make the @MadLibs cards from his slides??

First #microconf escape room championship was a success!!

“It pays to send multiple follow-up emails!” – @SingleFounder at #microconf

@zachdennis @DeLongShot It’s best to know what they recently signed up for.

More from @AlliBlum.

1. When you’re doing onboarding, ask people: why are you here?
2. Listen for “outcome phrases.”

#microconf

Love this from @AlliBlum:

“There’s a mismatch between the journey our customers expect, and the journey we give them. We make it harder for them to solve their problems.”

#microconf

@nloadholtes I KNOWWWW. So good.

RT @mariepoulin: Justin’s giving an awesome talk about validating your idea. Wish I’d seen this talk 4 years ago! @mijustin https://t.co/Sn…

We’ve got @adamwathan on stage at #microconf describing how to have a great info-product launch. 🙌

@earthlingworks I mention you in this episode. ☝️ Really appreciated the advice / tips you gave me the other day!

@derrickreimer @ericnormand I mentioned both of you in this podcast. Specifically, your recommendation for @jonbuda and I to "fight it out more" on air. 😜

Live from #microconf Las Vegas!

@fkchang2000 I think they do care. My prediction: they change the MBP significantly this next iteration.

Blurry motley #microconf crew.

@joeworkman I was around for the morning, then retreated to my room to work on my talk a bit, watched Rob’s talk, then had an evening thing to go to.

@awilkinson That was great. Thanks for sharing it!

@RobbieAb Hey, sorry! I got this late.

@joeworkman @jwmares It’s good, heh?

@mojcamars @robwalling @zenfounder Agreed! 😆
