@matteing @TransistorFM 🙌

@HardwickNYC @TransistorFM Yup! Did that. 👍

Had a great chat with @jonathanstark about whether or not it's possible to generate the underlying motivation for users to use our products:

Ok. I've updated @TransistorFM's schema stuff here.

Anything else I should do?

@stubalcombe @kdlafrance @connorcirillo oooh. @joshuaanderton and I should check this out for @meepsapp 👀

(It’s a debate!?)

@iChris Oh no. What heartbreaking news!

Sending you and your family lots of ❤️ today.

@schlimmson @TransistorFM thanks for catching that! 😅

@jcvangent @TransistorFM i've just always loved skulls. 😄

New t-shirt concept for @TransistorFM! Who wants one?

💀👕🎙️

@mickythompson chatted with your brother today on the @TransistorFM live chat.

What a small world!

Nice to be reminded of our epic Las Vegas escape room adventure. 😄

Another reason to use @meepsapp! https://twitter.com/thisiskp_/status/1448309627867877385

SEO folks: any idea how/why some brands are being featured in these sections?

@AndrewWarner @RiversidedotFM @DescriptApp @TransistorFM Thanks Andrew! We love having you as a customer. 🥰

If you're not using @DescriptApp to record/edit your podcasts yet... you should be!

It's saving me hours of times when I edit my own shows.

@KeliWestgate Whoa!! And now it’s green where it burned?

@ChanningAllen @IndieHackers Cool! How does it feel to be in one of those rooms?

@mrcave Yup! Just incorporate a C-Corp with @stripe Atlas.

That’s the best form for USA/Canada founders.

@webby2001 Really good piece Tom.

@kwuchu 🙏

@kwuchu Oh really? Any particular spot? Tell me more!

@jonathanstark Hmmm

@DanielZarick @GeoffTRoberts 💯 this

I also try to be explicit when I’m not in the target market: “I’ve never searched for a solution like this, so it probably doesn’t matter what I think!”

Why should you care?

👉 If you run a SaaS, and want to give away swag, this is the best solution I’ve found.

👉 If you have a podcast, Discord community, or membership, and want to sell swag

👉 If you’re a digital creator / artist and want to sell prints, shirts, stickers, etc

This new @meepsapp feature creates a print-on-demand merch store that automatically does printing + embroidery + stickers, fulfillment, and shipping (through @Printful)

It just runs itself!

@JackEllis I think you’re going to easy on those ToS. Not even closed to “solved.”

Also, as far as I know, none of this stuff has been tested in court.

I’m just confused why you’re going so easy on Lazy Lions? Normally you’re a stickler for this kind of stuff (when it’s relate to privacy)

@JackEllis “Change those ToS slightly?”

I think you’re glossing over some major issues.

Apply the same level of scrutiny you have for privacy issues to NFTs; I think you’ll see what I’m seeing.

So many things I wish I could Fleet right now

@JackEllis Also, those ToS look sketchy AF https://twitter.com/ericprhodes/status/1425131095713062918

@ianlandsman @JackEllis NFTs are a cool idea. They’re “a proposal for how ownership could work” (@DCoulbourne).

That’s fine.

But “a concept” is a looooong way from a “sure thing” (culturally, and legally).

And, this particular execution has significant, fundamental flaws.

@glenmccallumcan 💪

@JackEllis There’s a few significant differences, the largest being our current legal concept of ownership.

Owning a comic book (and transferring ownership of a comic book) is already governed by law.

NFTs are like me printing out a “certificate of ownership” for a comic you don’t own.

Josh was able to make this automated merch store for @meepsapp by using:

@tailwindui – thx for the e-commerce components @adamwathan & @steveschoger!

@Alpine_JS + @LaravelLivewire – thx @calebporzio!

@laravelphp – thx @taylorotwell!

@printful's print-on-demand API

Good thread:

@allanwhite In fact, for many Gen Zers, a podcast is something you "watch" a-la-Joe-Rogan.

@KateBour @tdinh_me 👋 I wrote @marketingdevs:

@NextOnStageOne @TransistorFM Glad it was helpful!

I took a marketing lesson from @peldi, @balsamiq, and the @honeybadgerapp folks, and started giving away awesome @TransistorFM swag.

People ❤️ it!

This @meepsapp / @printful integration allows you to create an automated swag shop: it does all the fulfilment + shipping for you.

One of my favorite things about running the @megamaker community, is seeing folks wear the shirts and hats, all over the world!

(And especially at conferences).

This @meepsapp feature allows anyone to create an on-demand merch store for their community. 🤯

Ok. This new @meepsapp feature that @joshuaanderton building is going to be huge! 🤯

Create an automated, print-on-demand merch store for your community/membership using @Printful. 👕🧢

(Or, use it to give away swag to your startup customers)

@amandanat @randfish 🙌

@amandanat She is! 🥰

@itsjbecks color me surprised! 😮😮😮🤯

The most surprising thing about this LinkedIn comment is that there's an 18-year-old on LinkedIn! 😮

@heylizelle We’re creating a new community for podcasters here:

https://podcasters.meeps.app/

(still in beta, but you’re welcome to join!)

@stephsmithio Unpopular answer 👉 it definitely helps to build an audience elsewhere first (Twitter, newsletter, blog, TV, radio, YouTube, etc).

If you don’t have that audience, interview people who *do*.

@AliAbdaal’s recent launch provides a good case study:

https://transistor.fm/customers/ali/

@brendonbigley Nice! What resonated with you about it?

It's not east to truly understanding what category you're in, who the customers are, what's motivating them, and what they do about it.

You really need to be immersed in it to get it.

And then, *what you do* with that information (how you apply it to your startup) is key.

@arvidkahl Intercom, like Slack, makes most of their money off Enterprise customers.

They don't mind pricing this way (and alienating small companies) because the bulk of their business is upstream.

@BridgetMWillard 🎯 yes

Invariably, the founders/teams who succeed are excited about their product category & market, and curious about their customer's motivation & behavior.

Marketing is hard because there are multiple variables:

• The category of product you’re building
• The market of people who might want it
• The underlying motivation that’s causing people to search for a product like yours
• What people end up searching for in google

@pascallaliberte Very strange; but also cool!

@nwquah Nice! Is it an exclusive, or available everywhere?

@iChris 🙋‍♂️

Yes! 👏

It’s pretty exciting to see her learning more about podcasting, the industry, ecosystem, etc..

https://twitter.com/cgimmer/status/1445759657293713424

@pascallaliberte Not me! Just her; she’s 18 and independent! 😮

Love these anecdotes. This one, from a 13 year-old respondent, is great:

“I listen to podcasts when cleaning my room because they are entertaining.”

Gotta keep that room tidy! 😄

According to her survey, the three most popular podcast apps for Gen Z are:

• Spotify: 47%
• Apple Podcasts: 16%
• YouTube: 10%

@chrisbintliff Thanks! I will.

The most interesting stat for me: Spotify has really captured the 13-23 year-old demographic.

Spotify is where Gen Z listens to podcasts.

They’ve clearly “grown up” with this app! It's a part of their identity.

@KarenUnland Hahaha. It's true!

My daughter researched and wrote this article on how Gen Z listens to podcasts.

It's good!

The creator of Evolved Apes NFT disappeared with $2.7 million. But the project is still verified (and being traded) on OpenSea.

This means the scammer is still receiving 4% royalties from each sale. 🙈

@kaleighf I did used to feel this a lot.

But since @TransistorFM got to scale, I feel a lot more relaxed. The pace is more calm.

By popular demand, I've finally fixed the link to my daughter's story about a squirrel here:

@kvlly 🤣🤣🤣

@arvidkahl I thought this was going to be a link discussing all the FB-related businesses that are dead in the water right now. 😉

How much money do you think is being lost for every hour that FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp are down?

Not just from FB itself (lost ad revenue) but everyone that depends on their ecosystem?

(Restaurants, SaaS that integrate with FB, etc)

@m1guelpf Also, still not clear that FB was hacked:

https://twitter.com/GossiTheDog/status/1445063880963674121

@m1guelpf Haha. Oh yikes.

Is that a legitimate contender?
