@ryanp2 gotcha. In your mind “email list” = “get rich quick scheme”? ;)

(not being snarky - just curious)

@amyhoy to me inspiration means you’re excited to seek out answers. Excited to discover. Excited to open your mind to answers. Thirsty.

@seriouspony @jasonfried This too "Education is not about filling someone's head - it's about inspiring their mind." http://universityofsulibreaks.tumblr.com/post/66114324563/my-response-to-the-teachers

@jasonfried @seriouspony YES.

@PatrickKerby @kylefox CASK AT 5PM FOOLS! Just like old times.

@jasonfried I like that: “Fill the mind, don’t fill the page” ;)

@kylefox @patrickkerby Cask isn’t “great” but it’s close to my office. ;)

If you run an email newsletter, invite people to REPLY. I’m having great chats with folks on “1,000 subscribers” http://justinjackson.ca/onethousand/

@kylefox @PatrickKerby How about 5pm at Mercer or Cask and Barrel?

@davewasmer yeah, me too. ;)

@PatrickKerby @kylefox Do you guys want to do dinner + beers at 5pm?

@davewasmer simple in concept, difficult in practice (because we fall in love with our ideas, and want to keep them secret until we launch)

One easy way to test a new product idea is to ask someone if they want it.

@ryanp2 seems like any teaching could fall under that analogy. Not just when you're talking about email. ;)

@ugisozols @benediktdeicke check out @matthewpearse's book on ember.js! http://www.learnemberjs.net/ Know anyone that would be interested? #JFDI

@kylefox @PatrickKerby Do you like evening better?

@lealea just manually activated you. Can you check your email?

@lealea I’ll take a look.

@kylefox hahahahaha Holy shit. lol. Aww fuck.

@neilswmurray Awesome Neil! Sending in a few minutes. Can you give me a sense of where you’re at? What’s your biggest struggle so far?

@SamuelHulick I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks!

@AndrewGalasetti awesome. Tell me about yourself: what stage are you at? Who’s your audience?

Yowsa. Crazy day. I'm sending my first email on "How to get 1,000 subscribers" in a few minutes. U can still get in: http://buff.ly/HWeoEe

Hanging out at the @industrymailout office tonight in #yeg http://instagram.com/p/goqNsWDodo/

@jamesvandyne @matt_jared yeaaaah!

@kylefox @PatrickKerby I'm thinking of doing a lunch weds or thurs (maybe at Yellowhead brewery) - you guys avail?

Just landed in Edmonton!

Looking to build your email list to 1,000? http://buff.ly/1bpGBOU. Just launched this yesterday. First email will go out today.

See you tomorrow #yeg!

"Defaults matter" http://ma.tt/2013/11/apple-defaults/

@LeoGopal yes - like Instapaper but for writing instead of reading. @gooddraft

The first person to build an offline writing client for @gooddraft has my business.

@matthewpearse yes! @SachaGreif just asked me the same thing ;)

@natekontny Is there a client / integration that allows you to write to Draft offline? (hopping on a plane tomorrow)

@housecor haha. You gotta practice what you preach!

@brennandunn yes.

Even newsletters *from* email service providers are landing in spam. Sender’s IP reputation increasingly important.

Seeing lots of legitimate newsletters going to spam in Gmail lately.

The big ESPs are being affected

cc @sidebario

@CalebWojcik @brennandunn yes I’ve done both:

1) A @sivers-esque “here’s a link” email
2) More relational, conversational email “posts"

@CalebWojcik No, I think you *can* do both.

But to me, my email list is a private community. It takes some commitment to join it.

@CalebWojcik Hmm. In a way I do that, by publishing certain stuff from my email list to my blog.

I see lots of downsides to 100% public.

What’s your favourite email newsletter? Do you have a link to the online version?

1,000 email subscribers http://wp.me/p1366z-ev

@thejonotron yup, we started with email, went to RSS briefly, and now we’re back to email.

@tnorthcutt well, we started with email, and now we’re already back to email. ;)

Email is such a simple, distributed technology.

37signals built their audience on RSS, but today's generation will need to build it on email.

Anyone out there want to build their email list to 1,000 subscribers?

I’m thinking about doing a blog series on that topic. Helpful?

Great video on team leadership: http://buff.ly/1cMA6ZE

@luckyryan I've never used that approach (I've always used content marketing)

Have you done this?

@davewasmer Cool. Thanks!

@davewasmer cool. Do you have an idea of who your audience is right now, or are you still searching?

@kaisdavis gotcha. Do you think the tactics you used the first time around will work for #2?

@LeoGopal do you think the approach you used to build list #1 would work for list #2?

@LeoGopal maybe. Trying to decide if I should focus on going from 0 to 1,000.

You’re trying to go from 0 to 2,000?

@kaisdavis gotcha. Would a bigger email list help you with your business related projects at all?

@michaelsacca hmm. To me those are the same thing. ;)

What kind of personal audience are you thinking of?

@kaisdavis what’s been the biggest struggle for you in building a list? What stage are you at?

Anyone out there looking to build their email list to 1,000?

I’m thinking about doing a blog series on that.

@kaisdavis yes. That’s good too. ;)

Here's a simple way to test business ideas: "Do I know someone right now who would pay money for this?"

Can't name anyone? Move on.

RT @amyhoy: @sparkyfirepants <3 kids don't need money, or things, they need love and parents who act like adults. that's it, really.

@iChris haven't had time yet - wanted to write it out on my computer.

We're doing a #weekofhustle over at JFDI.BZ. Here's @twigpress' first post: http://www.carlalexander.ca/bootstrapping/getting-back/

Wow. Great writing and product advice from @pjrvs http://us6.campaign-archive2.com/?u=26857d08cfc91db6993e0bfc4&id=a45045c2e6&e=c7139c9a02

@leetucksing thanks for sharing!

@kevinhorek I just gave it to him straight; right there.

@mike_strock hahaha

@mike_strock this sounds like a wise response. ;)

My son (loudly in Sport Chek): "DAD, WHAT DOES SEX MEAN?!?"

We all want to create & release more stuff. Why don't we? http://buff.ly/1bhAaNO

@brandonhilkert yup! (Unless they're working on a team)

@rrhoover I'm happy to help with Gumroad if you need it as well.

@iChris yes. Very.

@MonsterMontreal thanks for sharing it!
