Most folks just want the progress your product gives them.

They don't care if it's software, an Excel sheet, or a book.

Progress > form.

As a tech person, going blind scares the hell out of me.

@dominicstpierre tells his story. https://makermatters.space/going-blind-inspired-me-to-quit-my-own-startup-to-build-something-new-df3911be27b?source=twitterShare-a02dd1574d08-1480795639

@delk 👌 I'll put my statistical qualms aside and defer to you on this one. ;)

@delk not denying that some of these numbers are "ballpark."

But these companies make 1000s of offers. Most of this data has sample of 1-2.

People keep sharing this.

Beware of:
- self-report bias
- small sample size
- selection bias (1 FB group sampled)

@FathersBrother 👌

I found this interview with Seth Godin really enlightening:

@toptensoftware thanks so much Brad!

@natekontny “We seek out products that deliver more value, more connection, and more experience, and change us for the better.” - Seth Godin

@natekontny I like where this is going!

@natekontny ooh. Yes. Social proof! 👍

That’s definitely visible on the new @basecamp page 😜

@natekontny what would you add to that? ^

Your landing page should prove that you "get" the customer:

1. Where are they now?
2. Where are they going?
3. What stands in their way?

@marckohlbrugge you should check these guys out. They're Dutch. ;)

This is fun: @fishsander @piersteinn @chielhackman just launched a project on @ProductHunt. They're live streaming: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/wordeys

@guilouback that's the best response I've heard. ;)

@scrivs oooh. Let's say indie. Average $10 / album.

Which would you rather:

Selling 1 platinum album (1,000,000 copies) early in your career

or

Or consistently selling 10,000 albums a year?

@ninjapreneur 🙌

@destraynor getting better results from writing?

RT @patio11: The world needs more people who are two days into learning something writing about the problems of people who are one day in.

@jasondoesstuff @MattGiovanisci actually… integrating with PayPal / Stripe could be messy.

Integrating directly with @withcoach is better.

@jasondoesstuff also… need @ConvertKit ;)

@jasondoesstuff this is looking really good. NEED STRIPE + PAYPAL!

@jasondoesstuff sent ✅

@jasondoesstuff thanks for the reminder! Been slammed. Just emailed you asking something.

If you haven’t heard my 7 and 8-year-old boys prank calling me yet, it’s a great way to start your day:

https://soundcloud.com/mijustin/prank-call-from-the-boys

@sperte generally that's under PaaS I think (just larger scale). Also I'm not interested in those businesses right now. 😉

@DylanFeltus I’ll get them to call you next time! 😄

@marckohlbrugge it is! They called me a bunch so I recorded that one.

My boys just prank called me and it's the best thing that happened all day. 😂

@jaethan lol.

(Today I worked 9:30am - 2:30pm. Most of which I spent arguing on the internet)

From the time I started working at this,
it took 2,697 days of side-hustle
before I quit working full-time
to focus on making my own
stuff.

I started my blog in 2008.
I started a podcast in 2012.
I published my first book in 2013.

It took me 3,030 days to get where I am now.

@undefined_func Currently only place to get it is here:
https://justinjackson.withcoach.com/cyber-monday-book-bundle?coupon=7ZMISY5ITL

@undefined_func I've never released it on Amazon. Not sure why that button is there. ;)

@anthony_franco just added them!

@NightOwlLab glad it was helpful!

Just a guesstimate (and probably low), but Basecamp likely has the highest $$ / employee in SaaS:

@ianlandsman definitely. I think about QuickBooks quite a bit in this respect:

"Yup, we're still here."

Start now and be patient.

@iChris lol.

So many parallels.

The news of @CaseyNeistat moving to CNN feels similar to @zefrank moving to BuzzFeed.

@Jonwestenberg definitely been reading your stuff on Medium. Just downloaded "What I've learned so far" 🙌

@Jonwestenberg thanks Jon! 👍

@ryan_bennick 🙌

@Philip_Morgan I also like how you can give people a free preview into your courses:
https://justinjackson.withcoach.com/courses/marketing-for-developers/introduction/hello-world

@Philip_Morgan
1. Best course software I’ve found
2. Super responsive team + support
3. Built-in landing pages + email + drips

(when I switched to Coach, I saved $700 in transaction fees in a single month.)

Moving all my courses and digital products there.

At $29 / month, @withcoach's Pro plan is a steal right now:

https://www.withcoach.com/justin

I'd grab it while you can! (Price is going up soon)
