How about you?

Yes: it's cheap to APPLY for a trademark.

But if you need to protect your trademark against a bigger company, you’re screwed.

Shut myself in the bank vault today. Hot as hell in there. No air. The goal was to record the… https://www.instagram.com/p/BJHGYzFDQJS/

Recording the audio version of @joltbook today.

I'm in a bank vault, and it's 🔥.

@levelsio that being said. If I was starting I would:

1. Get a set-up on @withcoach
2. Start writing.
3. Start helping ppl right away.

Like @ianlandsman says: why not look at desktop apps? Or like @cjlew23: charge once for your web app (no MRR).

Point taken. Starting a SaaS is probably still cheap and easy.

But scaling non-CRUD apps is way more expensive + hard than you might think.

There are many factors that influence customer desire:

- timing
- age group
- peer group
- culture + influencers
- pressing, unmet needs

Segway is a good example:

- inspiring mission
- brilliant engineering
- tons of pre-release hype

But it didn't hit a nerve. No desire.

There are so many "of course this should exist!" products out there.

Just because it feels pragmatic doesn't mean the market *wants it*.

This is awesome. Definitely @joltbook type marketing.

Been trying these little bite-sized previews of @joltbook on Insta and Snaps.

Interesting recap from @MattGiovanisci.

What happens when an entrepreneur tries to make a rap album in 30 days?

What ever happened to Campaign Monitor? They took $410 million in funding in 2014 but I never hear about them.

Any of you using them?

Signing off Instagram and Snapchat at the same time. G'night y'all! 💤

Yes! This. 👇

Way easier to be heckling from the stands than to be fighting in the arena.

I've been asked to speak at #SumoCon.

If you were going to see me speak; what would you want me to talk about?

BTW - @sivers' "A Real Person Like You" is still the best piece on being civil on the internet:

Some days you're just not feeling it. Gotta persist. 👊

"It's good enough" is why people continue to use Microsoft Excel. There's lots of other options, but Excel "just works." Why switch?

@patio11 I'm going to file this under "Patrick has the most storied and interesting past of anyone I know." 😉

"CRUSH THE COMPETITION! THE OTHER TEAM SUCKS!"

Folks, these are your neighbors. You're not on opposing teams; you live on the same street.

☝️ this is why having people share tweets like this 👇 is such a big deal. Hugely encouraging for the maker! 🙌

@Shpigford your perspective, values, outlook, and transparency are an inspiration to me.

Keep it up!

@spencerfry nice little mention of @withcoach at around 8:00 on this podcast. ;)

Decided to try a different approach to podcast sponsorship for #megamaker season 2. So far, it's going well!

http://sponsor.megamaker.co/

🔥 BRAND NEW 🔥

First episode of #megamaker recorded on the road (this time, from #yeg):

https://megamaker.simplecast.fm/episodes/34956-e018-learning-from-the-rock-gods

This is what I love about @Remedycafe #yeg, sit down, and you're almost guaranteed to run into someone you know.

👋 @mastermaq @sharonyeo

We saw this with Slack:

It “felt” like everyone was switching, and teams were scared about getting left behind. (A bit of FOMO too).

Snapchat is lonely when you only follow 1-2 people.

But it’s almost impossible for me to “keep up” now that I follow 10+.

It's baaaaaaaaaackk.

Here's what I see #outmywindow

Idea for Instagram, Snapchat, etc…

“Kid” versions that allow you to use the fun filters but not post to the Internet.

Great piece by @natekontny:

"Having a good idea and building a great product isn’t enough." https://m.signalvnoise.com/now-that-i-ve-created-something-how-do-i-spread-it-edcedddb260d

Fired up about this topic so I published #megamaker early:

@chase_reeves @CorbettBarr I've been listening to your @fizzle program and that @stephcrowder_ is absolute dynamite!!! 💯💯💯

When I was younger you definitely didn’t want a number in your username (supercat52).

But my kids (and their friends) want those usernames!

This is especially true for "open source" copycats. Being "more open" doesn't make you more attractive to most users.

@joewalnes in my head I’m going to split it up like this:

Opinion / Experimental / Re-posts = Medium

Solid business articles = my site
