@corey_gwin I always think of this more in terms of:

“How you think your customers act.”

“How they really act.”

@JoshuaPDawson Great story! Incredible to see how (for many people, including me) our “big breaks” come when folks give us a chance.

Maybe this is all we can do.

"Cause the least amount of harm possible."

@pjrvs @developerjack It's sobering to hear Yvon Chouinard (Patagonia) talk about this. He (seemingly) sees ALL growth as cancerous.

@brhea @benediktdeicke Former brick-and-mortar store owner here. 👋

Happy to chime in on this. I have lots of opinions. 😉

@robwalling Really enjoyed this one!

(@cheriehu42 I think you'd dig this)

@gettingtoramen @joshuaanderton @mattwensing @simsaas_ Nice! I enjoyed part 1. 👌

Alright! I got some great #microconf food recommendations from @derrickreimer, @flybayer, @_aaronackerman_, and others.

If you have anything I should add, let me know!

@calebporzio @brandonsurowiec @DCoulbourne To me, the entire podcast sounds like beat poetry.

@JamesClear What does this look like?

Is a “performance-based” signal something like a vlogger with millions of subscribers?

@cnu @marckohlbrugge @levelsio @ajlkn For me, as a meetup coordinator, I need the price-point to be a "no-brainer" so that I just don't think about it.

$19 / year / per group feels fair enough.

@joshuaanderton @taylorotwell yes! so good. you should upvote/comment on @podhuntapp too:

@dzohrob @ChartableDotCom @sound_edu Wish I knew about this!

We serve tons of educational orgs at @TransistorFM.

@earnestcapital @memberspace Nice! I’m a big fan of @wardsandler and @ryan_bennick! 🙌

@JamesCridland Thanks.

Yes! I definitely feel it. 👌

@Kevin_McArdle @IndieHackers @csallen @TransistorFM Thanks! 🙌

@sambreed But if you’re on a high horse I want to see pics

I'm talking about this in my newsletter tomorrow:
https://justinjackson.ca/newsletter

@mattmedeiros Oh man, I couldn't disagree with you more.

How is going through this modal/options/panel hell better than editing straight HTML?

@misener Do downloads tell me my self-worth?

@Aazarshad @mubashariqbal Yes! They’ve been doing this since May.

@adamwathan Paid mine today!!! God. Felt good to get that done with. 💸

@coreyhainesco @pjrvs thank u ❤️

I remember being so shaken when I heard that story.

What causes an individual to respond with such violence and vitriol?

But it didn't matter. There was no reasoning with the angry man.

He continued to escalate.

And then he punched Colin in the face and walked away.

Colin opened his window, and the man started yelling at him. He was upset about something. It might have been about how Colin was parked; I can't remember.

Colin was shaken but was trying to resolve the dispute with kindness.

@CorbettBarr About to hop on my 🚴‍♂️ and head downtown to get a 🍩!

@iChris We just ordered one of these for the cowork space 😉

@adamwathan And here's me testing out this proof of concept. It works! 🙌

Loved @robfitz's book, and really enjoyed this interview. 👍 https://t.co/RKff6xNSkR

@christophrumpel I got a D- 🤣

@shl How is gross profit calculated? Does that include employee salaries?

@mattwensing @Baremetrics @ConvertKit @TransistorFM @buffer @Hubstaff doh! I missed the 🦄 emoji in his tweet.

Haha. 362k seems so insane. Not even sure if that's possible in podcasting (I think Libsyn has about 67,000 customers).

@m1guelpf may i suggest “vaping”

@leogdion @eriklgillespie @okproductive The biggest question I get is:

"How do you get speaking gigs?"

@CasJam Dev friends: Telegram
Internet friends: Twitter / Slack DMs
IRL friends: iMessage

@Shpigford @LaserTweets 🙌

@JakeHerrington I had a few free audio previews left, so I added one to your latest episode on @podhuntapp!

@mariepoulin r u stealing plants

@marlaerwin @asmartbear You'd be surprised how hard that is to implement in practice. 😉

@mapdev @stauffermatt @Restreamio Yup: http://justinjackson.ca/livestreaming

@petebray In a way, but in another sense their supply is the same.

A single Cirque act schedules their shows very much like Jerry schedules his.

@bradt @jasonpatricksc Hey Jason.👋 (Thanks for the recommendation Brad)

I'm one of the folks behind @TransistorFM.

I made you a quick video demo here. Let me know if you have questions!

@shroudedcode I screen recorded @DescriptApp. Cool way to use their transcription service. 👌

Awesome interview with an awesome founder. 🔥 https://t.co/tC1PQLjnOG

@ninjaparade @LaraconUS These are so good! Thanks for taking them! 🙌

@christophrumpel @petericebear @PovilasKorop With courses, it’s generally best to start with what comparable products are selling at, and make that your pricepoint. 👌

There, they were faced with a choice:

"Which smartphone do I want to buy?"

Here, the marketing, product, and positioning decisions of companies *did* have sway.

For example: "If you're this type of person, you'll want an iPhone."

Maybe it's better to think about the demand for individual product categories.

@conarro @artofproductpod @RogueStartups @FounderQuest 👋 I wrote a starter guide here that might be helpful:

https://transistor.fm/how-to-start-a-podcast/

@mubashariqbal @podhuntapp @louisnicholls_ Ooh. I like this idea. 👌

@mubashariqbal @podhuntapp That’s a great idea. 👍

@KateBour @ManuelaBarcenas @TheCoolestCool @ericosiu @neilpatel @thebent @ErinBlaskie @lovevalgeisler @HCWeiss @JamesClear Thanks Katelyn! I know I missed this Saturday, but I’ve got one in the works for next weekend that challenges a popular product marketing norm.

I think you’ll dig it 👌

@jmcharnes @dhh @excid3 @remote_ruby Great interview! 🙌

This can be a useful gauge, but it does have a few problems. 👉

@MattGiovanisci 120 days after posting! What happened to make it get so popular?

@michaeldyrynda 🙌 nice!

I’m boarding my plane shortly.

@enunomaduro 👋 hanging out in Brooklyn

@jesseleite85 @jason_varga Luv u

lol. PLANKING COMPETITION. https://t.co/bTvjg4B0gF

Love this from @StarrHorne and the @honeybadgerapp team:

“We’re going on vacation”
☝️ leading by example.

Good podcast for bootstrappers to follow: https://overcast.fm/+RSdGW7450

Will there ever be a @decksetapp for iPad? 🤔

...and listening to Sabbath

🎯 This. https://twitter.com/janelleallen/status/1149374995027714049

@keithdevon My advice is to start with a trailer episode.

It will help get you started, but it's only a few minutes long.

Plus: it will force you to put something out into the world!

Then, you can see how people respond to it: do they subscribe? Do they tell their friends?

@adamwathan Looks (and sounds) awesome! 🙌

@taylorotwell @abigailotwell Happy birthday Abigail! 🙌

Which business credit card should I get? 🤔💳

@sugardayfox @joshua_cottrell @ryanckulp @bentossell 👋 you might like the show I do with Jon Buda: https://saas.transistor.fm

@rezzz @mattragland Yup! It’s the best way to do it. 👌

How can I manage multiple podcasts for my clients? https://www.pscp.tv/w/b-EDbzM4NTU1MXwxdkF4UldNTXZyYUtsl6IsYBeWCpDw41lHiTlSIcUWgry4McNDtGw7RJGkMWs=

@SamanthaGeitz YAAASSSS

@nelsonjoyce you’re the guru the world needs!

@faith_schaffer @jonnysun just ended up doing this for 5 minutes

@levelsio Just a different type of business. Very few software businesses on Kickstarter!

@podysseyapp @iansmith9876 nice work! 🙌

@m1guelpf Thanks!

@thepatwalls Congrats Pat! Really inspiring story. So glad you were able to pay off that debt!

@conorgil @TransistorFM Suggestion for you:

Upload a "Trailer" episode for your podcast (in your case, schedule it for before June 6). Make it a 30 second to 3 minutes intro to your show. This is easily shareable and gives people an idea of whether they want to subscribe.

@statamic This is my dream site.

so wait, did the oilers win the stanley cup

@davidscolgan Yes. It gets more complicated as your following grows, however.

On one hand, you want to be able to publicize your "new thing" to your existing audience, because they'll help with word-of-mouth, referrals, and they'll likely be your first customers.

@lovevalgeisler Not exactly. We do offer the ability to host a "private podcast:"

https://transistor.fm/team-podcast/

However, from the beginning, we've thrown around the idea of offering a feature for memberships. 🤔

@charliprangley jesus christ. what's wrong with these people?

@derrickreimer Seriously, you saved the day with those Twizzlers though.

(And it was a real nice boat)

@ryankuder Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

@lovevalgeisler First thought. (Although, technically this was the 90s)

This 🎯 https://twitter.com/digitaltrouble/status/1137051495201943552

@siddharthkp I might need to do some of this.

You should make a video on how you’ve optimized it! 👌

@DavidSpinks @hunterwalk Beauty. I’ve been doing that for years! 👌

@valsopi @claritask_app 🙌 So awesome

@spencerfry http://justinjackson.ca/wait

@mubashariqbal Far more likely to go into a market with no competition and discover there is actually no demand (and then fail).

You’re almost always going up an incumbent.

Sometimes the competitor is adjacent (Blockbuster / Netflix) and sometimes it’s direct (MailChimp / ConvertKit)

@derrickreimer Using @statamic for http://justinjackson.ca, and moving @TransistorFM to there soon too!

@IsItUpOrDown @waxpancake 👋 vic-20 kid here

@Aazarshad @hnshah Podcasting is the best way I’ve found to build trust with an audience.

But it’s not for everyone.

If writing or video is your thing, do that!

However, regardless of the medium you choose, you’re going to need to stand out.
