@spencerfry really? I think profit works as a metric at any scale.

I can have 1 sale and be profitable.

@kylefox what kind of timeline are we looking at? How long before a co should make profits?

Over what time period should they be evaluated?

@spencerfry user growth doesn’t always lead to profit. ;)

Neither, it seems, does revenue growth.

Groupon, Twitter, Dropbox, Square…

@emmetgibney what would be an appropriate sample then? What timeline should we use? We have IPO (and pre-IPO) data from a bunch.

@kylefox I’d like to know your answer to that question too. ;)

@patrickbjohnson agreed. Sometimes the labels, metaphors, etc… can be distracting (or not helpful).

@patrickbjohnson not just marketing, but the whole team.

Demand + quality product + marketing / sales + good margins = profits

Judging by the financial results we’ve seen from most startups, I think we need more “profit hackers” than “growth hackers.”

Love seeing how @studioneat makes stuff:

@danprovost loved this man! Well done.

Do you buy things during Black Friday? What was the last BF purchase you made?

@JoshDance people that bought the book were accidentally excluded. I've gotta figure out how to fix it.

You can only ignore a video like this for so long.

I finally gave in and was not disappointed:

@InvestVernon yes! I was impressed.

@Ida_Pettersen @SoplyHQ sweet! I'll check it out.

@ImBmills thanks so much for the encouraging email you sent me! Made my day.

@CodeSkills exactly. 😉

@pacheco_cinthia awesome! Thanks.

Getting traction is like drilling for oil: sometimes you have to dig a few holes before you hit black gold.

The combined profits of all those “high growth” startup unicorns?

$0

@JoshDance sorry: I accidentally set this up so existing @marketingdevs customers wouldn't get these.

@ConvertKit - is there a way to fix?

Whoa! @floraworley is one of my fave developers to work with, and she's available for hire.

JS, React and Python.

(I'd act quick)

Weekend goals.

@markosavic nice!!!

@j_greig I wish there was a better alternative than FB.

@j_greig interesting! Why don’t you check them?

@marcinator about 12. I’ve got Slack overload.

@hrishio nice!!

@brettg98 about 12. I’ve got Slack overload.

How many Slack chats are you on?

@justinabrahms cost + time vary, but it looks like this:

@elof yeah man! Do you know @TheEricAnderson?

Hoping to be back in SF soon.

People don’t see an ad → buy.

It’s more like this:

Build rapport → see ad → buy

Your product can't just be good.

It must also be desired.

@ormanclark any way to pay via PayPal? If I use my credit card I lose 30% to exchange rate.

@jaethan 😔

@jaethan what’s pacvote?!? 😳

@Raelshark yes

@iChris yup. I’m guessing these employees are working for stock OPTIONS which are almost never exercised.

A note to employees working 80 hours per week: unless you own a majority of the company, you're getting a raw deal.

@sethw both!

@sethw where’s the best place to get patches made?

@paulsearle @CalebWojcik so far, ScreenFlow has my favorite non-linear editing UI.

@paulsearle any other alternatives beside Premiere? The UI + workflow in there scares me.

@davecraige yeah, it'd be cool if you could filter by that. @ProductHunt

.@shl I'm with you! @marketingdevs is doing great on @gumroad; I'm not going anywhere. 👊

@chrisbowler Memberful’s team isn’t much bigger than Gumroad’s newly downsized team. ;)

@luketucker sweet! Which one?

Browsing PH, a lot of the folks that tried to build Gumroad alternatives are already dead:

Setting a reminder.

@lrntto lol

Sweet, my book @marketingdevs got more votes than The Martian. 😁

Most folks don't realize that 90% of marketing is answering the question:

"What do people REALLY want?"

Marketing shouldn't be about "you," "your app" or "your features."

It's about "them," "their needs" and "what they want."

“How do I get people to care about my app?”

Ask yourself:

1. Are people highly motivated to solve this problem?
2. Where are they looking?

@aarondfrancis That’s a good word too.

But it’s also about not wanting “additional work.” They don’t want something that creates work.

@markbakker that’s a cool idea. I’ll see if that’s something @ConvertKit can add in the future.

RT @TheCoppinger: Props to @mijustin for the 'Tiny Wins' daily marketing newsletter. Three days in and they've been awesome. Thanks! https:…

Today I learned that I’m a millennial.

(But I’m an OLD millennial, so don’t get too snarky)

Currently listening to Skrillex un-ironically.

@5minpause ah. I think I know why: I might have it set not to deliver to customers. I’ll take a look.

@charlieirish @hrishio odd! I may have it set not to deliver to customers. I’ll take a look.

@CalebWojcik wow. That looks awesome.

@MrTamPham “Tiny Event Tips” 😆

@brennandunn awwww yeaaah! Congrats you two love birds!!

Event organizers! Ask attendees before they arrive:

“Why are you coming?”

Use their answers to form your agenda.

@andreeamih hey! Sorry, I have a huge backlog of email right now.
