“Each town, each neighborhood, each building, has a particular pattern of events according to its prevailing culture.”

@pjrvs 🤬

@CasJam Yup. Exactly.

Also, just because your positioning *perfectly fits* their niche, doesn’t guarantee they’ll buy from you.

They STILL might just go and get a Squarespace site! 😜

Good example of what I’m trying to describe here:

Many “niche” customers “aren’t really looking for a platform specific to them.”

@jamonholmgren @andymci Yeah, that’s a good point.

“What actually gets searched by the customer” is something I’m curious about.

@tylertringas Any examples of micro-SaaS doing that in the email marketing category?

@dohertyjf @paidinsights More thinking around the positioning of a company.

Wondering if it’s better to start a company with “general” positioning (like Squarespace, or Webflow) and then attack the longtail with landing pages.

As opposed to structuring your whole company around a niche vertical.

@imchristiepitts Congrats!!! 🎉

@brianalvey Lol. Very true.

@pjrvs @mattantwest @natalienagele @studiofellow Yes. I've shared this link with @mattantwest before, but having tools that did this kind of analysis would be huge:

@jspector Really like this “top 3 tweets” idea 👍

@TheEricAnderson Daaaaaang.

(I just finished a bag of Tostitos)

@Caneco @phpastes @HappyDevFM @TransistorFM @jonbuda I’ll take a look. 👌

@Mattylantz @usefathom Sweet. I’m using Fathom on my personal site as well (and on @TransistorFM)

@Shopify @tobi @stripe @patrickc Also, the idea of corporations contributing to the "public good" isn't absurd. (Before the 1980s these kinds of investments by companies were common).

It's the whole reason we created Public Benefit Corporations.

@jonasdowney Nice! I’m a big fan of this section.

@ahmedash95 @lenaggar Nice! 🙌 Let me know if you have questions.

@missbikesalot Yes!!! “Kondoing” old projects is the best feeling.

@BarrettABrooks Definitely check out Saul Griffith. This interview gave me hope (and made me want to act):

We already have private podcast “invite links” that you can use in welcome emails you send to your members:

@typeoneerror Yes! It's awful on so many levels. The smoke. The damage. And the risk for firefighters. 😞

@jbrooksuk ❤️

@thiagoricieri Pretty good. Just woke up. Going to try to take my boys skiing today. 👌

@m1guelpf Feeling pretty good. Hoping to go snowboarding tomorrow. Just have to get my kids to sleep first. 😅

@arvidkahl To you and @SimpsonDaniK as well! 🌲

@KennyLange Or Skype Call Recorder if we’re not going live

@ianlandsman It doesn’t always look like this, but when it does, it’s incredible.

@Julian @jjacobs22 I really like @seanwes’ guide on this here:

@jbrooksuk @HappyDevFM @jessarchercodes Anytime. 👍

@janelleallen Thanks for sharing it!

@enigmaticsoulrg The Happiness Lab by @lauriesantos

@petersuhm Love this!

Listening to this now.

Incredible eye opening. https://twitter.com/timoreilly/status/1206711333493690369

@corey_gwin I'm familiar with that mad-lib. I think even that is too complex.

Our desires aren't always situational, and they don't always have an articulated outcome.

@sambreed How did you shovel the snow off that route so fast

@ericlbarnes @laravelnews Awww yeaaah! 🙌

The process should be seamless if you follow these steps:

https://help.transistor.fm/article/2-importing-your-podcast-from-a-different-provider

@_brandswell There’s a few folks playing that space. 👌

@CorbettBarr recently launched https://palapa.co/

@antdke @pjourneypod Yup! I used @headlinervideo. They’re great!

My friend @ninjaparade is running a great giveaway for Laravel folks at https://www.laravelgiveaway.com/c/2019.

He's using a tool he developed called @ContestKit. I've used it in the past as well. It's perfect for these types of giveaways. 👌

@petersuhm have you met @tillkruss yet? He's working on some cool stuff in the caching/performance space in WordPress.

@NormanChella @tylertringas @TransistorFM @jonbuda Here is a video:

@avclark @rezzz Listening now! Nice to hear Adam’s voice again. ☺️

@joshahowarth Thanks for mentioning Transistor in your piece! I’ve had multiple people reach out today to say they saw it. 👌

@jennduannfultz @KateBurgener @jayclouse @upsidefm @TransistorFM I wrote a quick guide on that:

https://help.transistor.fm/article/19-how-do-i-embed-my-podcast-in-wordpress

You can also use the Podcast Importer plugin, which will connect your WordPress blog to your podcast's RSS feed, and have it import each new episode, along with the Transistor embedded audio player.

@zkahn “The Missing Cryptoqueen”, especially episode 8, by @JamieJBartlett

@jeremyvaught I know @JordanGal’s team just built an app marketplace for @CartHook

@Mattylantz thanks matt. I love your walk-through-the-house videos. 😄

I need to run a conference/meetup here in BC so I can host all my favorite eastern Canadians. 👍

@usefathom @JackEllis Nice! Really enjoyed the first episode.

@pinchequique Nope! I’m using @statamic these days. 💯

@adamwathan that kid is so metal

@pjrvs @jonbuda Thanks for sharing it!

@oprearocks For me, I don’t know if that’s true.

I’ve been wanting to do something in radio since I was a kid.

I’ve been thinking about the podcasting space since 2008.

The cumulation of all those years ended up being @TransistorFM.

@Patticus No! 😱

@tylertringas Not really credible, but I’m already surprised by the results:

@webmeisterjess I wanted to fit it in the poll but twitter only gives 4 options! 😅

@joshuaanderton 1. The best way is to already be heavily involved in an industry, group, or product category. You'll notice what people are looking for because you're in the same office. 😉

2. Look for evidence of people switching (and why they switch):
https://twitter.com/search?q=I%20just%20switched%20to%20mailchimp&src=typed_query

@iansmith9876 @sandyd96 @SparkCRM Whoa! Looking sharp! 💯

@chowdhuryrahul The whole web app is Rails.

The marketing site is built on @statamic (a @laravelphp based CMS)

@dhh @rizwanreza @TransistorFM @reworkpodcast @jonbuda Haha. Thanks. 😊

@_CCooper @SarahCrims @JakeCowton @TransistorFM 👋 I'm one of the hosts of the show (@buildyoursaas).

Here's a quick teaser:
https://share.transistor.fm/s/07d3a3b7

@frantzfries 🤣

@kodiebeckley I'm glad I still have a few anarchists following this account. 😉

@JakeDohm I would talk to as many as I can find and ask: "What apps do you spend money on?"

They might respond:

1. Helpdesk & customer support (Kayako, Helpscout, Intercom)
2. Email marketing (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Active Campaign)
3. Transactional email (Postmark, Mailgun, Sendgrid)

@JacobBennett I’m listening to tons of pods today. Loving it. 👌

@calebporzio @noplanstomerge @DCoulbourne Such a good episode!

More philosophy talk less programming talk please 😜

@pjourneypod Great episode! Enjoyed hearing you work through the Mom Test, and your honest reactions to it. 😉

@tylertringas @earnestcapital Dang! That’d be fun. When’s the next time you’re going to be in Vernon, BC? 😜

Come snowboarding this winter. 🏂

You want to avoid "quixotism:"

"The impractical pursuit of ideals, especially those ideals manifested by rash, lofty and romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action."

Don't fall in love with a given form; stay focused on the function you want to perform.

@petersuhm This looks great Peter! 🙌

@uibreakfast Nice! These are great! 👍

@Aazarshad Yup! This is why context matters.

There are plenty of examples of the reverse being true as well:

https://twitter.com/chiandet/status/1113448588137291778?s=21

Also, remember what happens when you’re on the receiving end of someone raising their prices.

When companies like Netflix (b2c) or Intercom (b2b) raise their prices, you probably don’t like it.

Certainly:

If you’re serving enterprise clients, you should charge more because you’re going to have to put up with a lot of bullshit.

If you’re charging $100 / hr, but everyone else in your industry is charging $200, you should charge more (especially if you’re as good).

@adamlogic @MicroConf 👋 I’ll see you there! @jonbuda and I are headed there too.

@derrickreimer I know this now.

@driesvints Thanks Dries! I’m listening to you on @jbrooksuk’s podcast right now:

https://overcast.fm/+VHBQCQ17U

@ogrover Exactly! Who does all this targeting *really* serve in the long run?

Podcasters connect with audiences of listeners, and build trust with them over time. Why would we endanger that trust?

@rsobers Yup, I agree that having a specific group to target in the beginning is helpful (especially for finding marketing channels).

The caveat is that (no matter how specialized you go) you need to find enough buyers.

@songadaymann @dearestscooter I dig it!

@mnlfrgr @mubashariqbal Podtrac shows stats for the top 20: http://analytics.podtrac.com/industry-rankings

Podsights also has a research tool: https://podsights.com/research

@avclark now tweets are called "boops"

@connibie 💯

@allthingsmarco For “documenting what you’re working on” I think a blog, newsletter, or podcast would be great.

I really dig what @taylorotwell has been doing with Laravel Snippet:

https://overcast.fm/+QKRHUSGDU

@tylertringas Thanks!

@rezzz @CasJam Here’s how I do it:

- hit “I” to mark in a section
- hit “O” to mark out
- hit “CMD + Del” to ripple delete

This feature in PC Magazine is OK but not great.

@Shpigford I use @monosnap

@mattmedeiros Around 30.

I regularly listen to 10.

The other 20 I occasionally listen to.

@JoshuaPDawson @TransistorFM lol. nice. 👌

@tylertringas Halloween costume?
