“If you are a freelancer building landing pages for clients, this workshop is a must.” – @rezzz

Planning more of these live workshops for 2018 🙌

Jump on the waiting list here: https://megamaker.co/landing-page-workshop/

First weekend back at @SilverStarMR #vernonbc 👌

@allanbranch You seriously have the best life.

More things you can combine that make you unique:

- experience: “lived in Japan for 5 years”
- knowledge: “I have a Masters in Sociology”
- network: “I know 20 founders personally”
- interests: “I’m really into sneaker culture”
- creative pursuits: “I write 8 bit soundtracks”

RT @adamwathan: Cool post on building a landing page inspired by a conversation with @mijustin on @fullstackradio, using @tailwindcss! 🤙🏻 h…

@mattt416 Wow. What a lineup!

RT @austinlchurch: @mijustin Haha. Made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that. My kids would think, "Why is dad buying me an Oklahoma Joe High…

@austinlchurch 😂

"Hey kids! If you want to see what 🎅🏻 is bringing you this year, just take a look at your parents' retargeting ads!"

@FORSBERGtwo what a crazy year, hey?

@iChris I was literally just waiting for you to show up.

1991 was also an incredible year for albums:

* Nirvana - Nevermind
* My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
* Pearl Jam - Ten
* Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
* Metallica - Metallica ⬛ album
* Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
* REM - Out of Time
* G n R - Use Your Illusion

Personal recommendations are an indicator that you’re on to something:

“I just bought this, and this is how it changed my life...”

☝️ folks (usually) only share products that have given them progress.

Yes! Exactly this.

@brandonhilkert What an insane year, hey?

This is true product-market fit:

1. Do they pay for it?
2. Do they use it?
3. Does it give them the outcome they want?

@Peasquared Lol. That’s a great 90s combo!

@rezzz 👍

@rezzz Personal relationship is 1000x more effective ✨

Your unique combination of attributes is your superpower. ⚡️

Most of us aren't going to be superstars at ONE BIG THING.

Instead, combine together your:
- strengths ("extreme focus")
- weaknesses ("anxiety")
- skills ("public speaking")
- occupation ("programmer")

and create a persona that's unique to you.

@theleviallen 😮 wuuuuuuuuuut

In 1994, these albums were released:

* Weezer - Blue Album
* Green Day - Dookie
* Offspring - Smash
* Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
* Pearl Jam - Vitalogy
* Rancid - Lets Go
* Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction
* Beck - Mellow Gold
* R.E.M. - Monster

I was 14.

@parasight @tillrahn @petersuhm When we were in Glasgow, we waited for 45 minutes (with our kids!). The whole time wondering: "Will this be worth it?"

IT WAS! 😍

This is so cool.

@chadkoh Amazing! I’ll post some photos soon.

@marcjenkins Yes! I’ll have a waiting list up shortly.

Getting pumped!

https://megamaker.co/landing-page-workshop/

@adamwathan @r00k If you haven't tried @withcoach in awhile, they've made tons of improvements. Best checkout process. Faster payouts. Amazing support.

@ajlkn Nice! 🙌

@jennschiffer jesus christ this guy is clearly a monster and they enabled him

RT @RuthanneReid: Oh.

OH.

This is your last chance to get my landing page workshop in 2017.

Live session tomorrow at 12pm Pacific! (Or, just get the recording)

https://megamaker.co/landing-page-workshop/

@benthompson @noahchestnut Some of these numbers are old. I’ll fix that tomorrow.

@Wickerpedia Is this for real? 😱

@SingleFounder TIL that mike has two thumbs

If you grew up on BBSes in the 80s & 90s, you've got to get @MatthewBogart's comic. https://buff.ly/2iZChAb

@marcjohns Ordered! ❤️

@noahchestnut @memberful @stratechery @Substacked @niubi @Patreon @jeff_gluck @moonclerk @AboveAvalon @WooCommerce @loosethreadscom I also compiled this Membership / Subscriptions spreadsheet ages ago. It lists their fees + features:

@noahchestnut You definitely need @withcoach on that list. 👍

@bookoisseur As a Canadian, I saw the word “Dutch” and just thought:

@TheOmarZenhom loved hearing your friendly voice on @noahkagan’s pod. 🙌

It’s been too long since we’ve hung out. I’m speaking in Vegas Apr 28 - May 4. You in town for anything then? 🙏

old geeks are the best geeks

@colynb This is my experience:

@EricDiviney @shimewastaken Sorry! Proper link here https://megamaker.co/cybermonday/

@laravelphp @taylorotwell I'm going to learn to build a Laravel app RIGHT NOW so I can be ready. 😄

@iChris Not yet. They think Twitter is "lame."

Also: Amazon is awesome for finding and ordering books...

But they suck when it comes to browsing for toys and video games.

Dear online retailers:

If the item is "Sold Out" don't display it as a search result.

RT @shimewastaken: Just purchased 4 books by @mijustin via his Cyber Monday deal - for only $39. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me - you can…

@shimewastaken Thanks Hrvoje! 🙌

Taste-tested some instant coffee at @ratiovernon today

@itsthisjustin @getsyrup Hellz yeah 🙌

@bryce How many mods are you getting for your bod?

☝️ this is a good deal, but these Black Friday sales end today (and are even better):

https://megamaker.co/blackfriday

Woke up to find a bunch of folks bought this Cyber Monday deal. 🙌

Get @marketingdevs, @joltbook and more in one package. 🤖

https://megamaker.co/cybermonday/

@iChris HOW MANY VHS TAPES ARE YOU BUYING

@mrevanleo Lol. That’s what happens when you get a bundle of stuff!

Here's an early Cyber Monday sale!

(Get all my books for one low price)

https://megamaker.co/cybermonday/

RT @paleochef: Folks that hedge their bets about love, consider that life is short and nothing is forever, so if you find love, feel it. Go…

90% of the time, when a friend wants a website, a one-page site on http://carrd.co is good enough.

If you’re a geek, and people ask you to make them a website, just get a pro subscription for yourself.

Also love @tferriss’s approach to facing a challenge. He asks himself:

1. “What might this look like if it were easy?”
2. “What might this look like if it were fun?”

@JoshDoody “The timing problem” is a unique conundrum!

Salary negotiation has such a short window. People need to discover you, and your solution, before the window closes.

Trying to think what other businesses are similar: H&R Block maybe?

To grab that spot, register here: https://megamaker.co/landing-page-workshop/register/

I've still got 1 spot left for this morning's Landing Page Workshop.

By the end of today's event, you'll have built your own page!

@FredRivett 💃

@gregoiregilbert I would change that.

Basically every scene with the villain(s) in this movie need to be redone.

How many drunk people do you think are on the Internet right now

RT @productpeopletv: Don’t just buy + consume.

Get stuff that helps you move forward.

Great deals for solopreneurs here: https://t.co/Uei…

@jacobwyke 😂

@chriskottom 3 incredible soundtracks

Anyways, tl;dr:

Watched Hackers (1995) with my kids tonight and it was awesome.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yes. Tons of this movie makes me cringe.

Yes, a lot of the dialogue / script is wrong.

But the kids in this movie (@jonnyjlm, Jolie, @MatthewLillard, @JesseBradford, @therealrenoly, Lawrence Mason) are all perfectly cast.

(Plus: the soundtrack is 🔥)

@j_mcnally It’s *very* cringy.

The villain is especially terrible. So much of the dialogue is awful.

But there’s something about that hacker hangout in NYC that just transports me back.

(Plus the soundtrack is 🔥)

BTW - I wouldn’t change the rollerblading. It’s part of what makes me love this movie.

As a kid who’d been hanging out in BBSes and alt.2600 in the early 90s, “Hackers” felt special (even though they got tons wrong).

“Sneakers” is still (probably) the best made hacking movie, but “Hackers” is my favorite.

Confession: I owned this on VHS.

Year is 1995.

I imported it (analog to digital) to my crappy Pentium.

Made a fan edit (mostly cut out the parts I didn’t like).

Couldn’t share it (YouTube didn’t exist).

@flowymitchell Lol. IT’S A CLASSIC.

BTW - they should remake this movie.

It’s about 60% perfect.

@frankholdem Yesssssssss

YAAAAAAASSSSSS

https://twitter.com/cliffordoravec/status/934275616161005568

Showing this to my kids for the first time. So excited. 💾

Also, the most valuable tool I've used for running this year's sale (BY FAR!) is @mbuckbee's subject line tester:

https://sendcheckit.com/email-subject-line-tester-results

So good. 💯

Every year, the volume of Black Friday promotions increases.

(even consumers who want the deals appear to be overwhelmed)

The secret, I think, is to segment your audience, and offer them one highly targeted deal (as opposed to many).

Creative ideas (like https://blackfridaypixel.sale/) also seem to be getting attention.

(Yes, that's a re-hash of $1 Million Dollar Homepage, but done well)

Bundles are still performing well, but well positioned "single product" deals seem to be cutting through the Black Friday noise.

Less: "I got this great bundle!"
More: "I got a great deal on *this specific thing*"

Finally made a proper intro video for http://megamaker.co/landing-page-workshop 🎉

(Better late than never!)

https://youtu.be/scJXwxF_czg

@marketingdevs Interesting observations from today:

1. Twitter is driving way more sales than in the past.
2. Email is driving less % of sales than it normally does.
3. Simple emails (less text, no images) with one offer are performing better than emails with multiple deals.

Still a few spots left for my landing page workshop tomorrow morning!

https://megamaker.co/landing-page-workshop/

@mattragland @brennandunn While @theleviallen is getting his shit together, here's my take:

https://youtu.be/eeM1PmmuWzQ

;)

@brianball @iwearyourshirt lol. This is actually a good take on it.
