@brennandunn thanks for the introduction! ☝️

Had an awesome chat about bootstrapping products with @laurium! 🙌

Coming soon to http://youtube.com/justinjackson and @productpeopletv 👍

@grmpyprogrammer I think they could keep the podcast directory free, but offer podcasts through Apple Music, or similar subscription.

Apple's "Planet of the Apps" confuses me.

They have a built-in advantage with podcasts.

Why not focus on being the Netflix of podcasting?

@Patticus every day!

@ideasasylum the worst.

Also: illuminated keyboards on MacBooks (which I almost never use in the dark) BUT NO ILLUMINATION ON THE REMOTE?!?

@philderksen sweet! Thanks.

Notes are here: https://justinjackson.ca/microconf/

@ben_mathes thanks. You should check out https://justinjackson.ca/indie 👍

@musicm122 thanks Terrance!

Often, we seek the wrong kind of product validation.

We want people to like us and our idea.

But what we *need* is paying customers!

RT @irsteve: A lot of valuable advice in the first indie newsletter from @mijustin https://justinjackson.ca/indie/

This piece by @bentossell is 💯

@sarahdoody yes! I switched from another provider to @ConvertKit.

Super easy.

Having a hard time getting started on your product?

Watch this first:

@rossSpeak Sweet! Have you built a Chrome extension before?

Are you familiar with the way Clearbit works?

// @nathanbarry

I'd like a @ConvertKit extension for Gmail that shows me what forms, tags, sequences a sender belongs to.

(Similar to ClearBit)

@eignerchris thanks man! 🙌

@CStarcky thanks for sharing it!

@mariordev thanks Mario!!!

@theloudfruit yes!!!!

@kmcurry which form is was that? I send 4 tips, I just added a 5th tip.

@davidpots that looks like a sweet place!

I'm going to have to bring @amcwilliam (from @ratiovernon) there sometime!

Ads that follow you around the internet can be destructive.

Read this whole thread:

@AdamGSteele doesn't look like @getcontrolapp lets you filter by product though. I need to see PayPal + Stripe transactions for each product

@AubePhil I'm signed up for the lifetime beta. Waiting impatiently for @thejasonsadler and @MattGiovanisci to build it!

@JoshDoody I'm using:

- @withcoach
- @memberful
- Restrict Content Pro

If I was just in one platform it'd definitely be easier.

.@mds lots of sales come through PayPal. For many people it's their "extra spending money."

If I was just using Stripe it'd be perfect. Stripe makes it easy to create a separate account for each project.

PayPal however... 😵

@kylefox argh. I don't know. Sales come from 2-4 different systems, and then are split betweeen Stripe and Paypal.

@rrhoover seriously. Lots of things get "close" but not where I need them to be.

@adamwathan do you do PayPal sales too?

Huge pain in the ass: generating good sales reports when sales are split between Stripe AND PayPal.

:(

@antonis_tsagari thanks so much for reaching out! It means a lot to me.

@avclark yes! I talk about it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeM1PmmuWzQ&t=2s

@OpenSkiesMedia Just thought of a new one. I like how lawn care companies make their service "public:"

RT @Mrexplainer: Quickly becoming one of my fav youtube channels! http://buff.ly/2k2gsBK via @mijustin @dontheideaguy watch the one about…

It's like a secret passage...

but better.

RT @ChrisHufnagel: @mijustin @megamaker congrats on the relaunch. Pretty excited to start getting weekly emails from you!

@ChrisHufnagel thanks!

A product person’s main skill is their ability to observe where users struggle — and to solve it creatively. https://medium.com/product-people/why-most-product-ideas-arent-that-good-213599e946e6#---0-93.pjs13g95j

@clientgiantrob I've had the mustache pic for most of my twitter experience

@tweetsbymichiel true 👌

@ninjaparade lol

@marknca lol. Just trying to reduce the pain of switching. ;)

@joshmanders I'm going to try it out for awhile. ;)

@charliprangley thanks! I appreciate that.

Trying out something new.

@flowdee I did! I replied with a PDF invoice. I'll send it again!

@davecraige thanks. ;)

@flowdee I replied to your invoice question. Did you get that email?

@chadhflinn awww yeaaaahhh!

@cathodion AWWW YEAAAAH!

@j_greig yes!

I just answered all the questions people asked me on my @IndieHackers interview.

Want to ask me a question?

https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/marketing-for-developers

@beingbrad yes!

(Isn't that a Garth Brooks song?)

So close to 1000.

@drewwilson haha. Classic! (That's happened to me more than once)

@drewwilson is Filtron still working? Opened it up today, can't see any filters. Get error when I try to log in.

One of my favorite segments:

"NOBODY IS CRUSHING IT! NOBODY IS KILLING IT!"

This CNN documentary on depression in the tech industry is good:

http://edition.cnn.com/videos/cnnmoney/2017/03/08/mostly-human-silicon-valleys-secret.cnnmoney

@adamwathan nope, not going to that one. Speaking at #microconf in April, and @LaraconUS in July.

Taking the family to Europe in June. ;)

@Ribeezie whoa! Hadn't seen this.

Big thanks to @ericlbarnes for doing this interview with me for the Laravel News blog!

This article by @iamashley makes me feel like I should get business insurance! 😵 https://withjack.co.uk/insurance/2017/03/21/4-horror-stories-about-creative-businesses-that-should-have-had-insurance.html

@allanbranch 😂 how's this?

I agree with @robwalling’s advice here: https://medium.com/tiny-marketing-wins/how-to-get-big-results-from-small-efforts-3704e9d8e24c#---0-551.70f7sx5k5

Hey @medium: I've tried publishing using your new "Series" feature. Each time I get responses like this:

https://twitter.com/vlucas/status/844273335479517184

@vlucas yeah, it's a bad experience. I'm not going to use it anymore.

@brennandunn yup.... :(

https://twitter.com/productpeopletv/status/844264535645048832

Just published a new Series:

"How product marketing really works." https://medium.com/series/d2eefe01b206?source=twitterShare-a02dd1574d08-1490123043

Your product has to be something that makes peoples lives SO GOOD that they can't stop talking about it.

Great products are easy to market.

@curt_beyondfoam exactly.

@alancassinelli @paste_app haven't tried it yet!

"The coffee shop referral" should be the ultimate goal for any product.

People like it so much they have to share it with their friends.

Listening to @chris_hawk's new podcast!

This interview with @pjrvs is 💯 https://overcast.fm/+IrmUPxt5A

I've recommended @TextExpander countless times while working in coffee shops. It's so useful, it feels like a shame to keep it a secret.

Ultimately, every product needs word-of-mouth to succeed.

Nothing beats having someone recommend your product to a friend.

@clientgiantrob thanks Rob!
