@m1guelpf Exactly, what was the "job to be done" with the egg photo?

Why were people motivated to like it?

People do things for one reason only: to make their lives better!

@earthlingworks An increasing portion of Gimlet's revenue is now coming from Hollywood deals like Homecoming. 📺

Plus: branded podcasts are still performing well (Gimlet Creative does that).

Also, there is still tons of growth in podcast advertising – that's still just getting started.

@robertgaal @pjrvs @joshu You're right, this screenshot is missing a bit of context.

The book isn't talking about innovation (which is a worthy goal).

It's aimed at folks who want to start a different type of (lifestyle) business.

For them, innovation and user growth isn't the objective. 👌

@purple_prawn Agreed! Macromedia got a lot right. 👌

@jessarchercodes I've tried other apps... I just can't shake my Fireworks addiction! 🔥

@CalebWojcik @PatFlynn just backed it! 🕺🔥💃

@CalebWojcik @switchpod Done! 🤙

@tylertringas I like how @natalienagele articulated it:

@theleviallen I've been digging it. 🙌

BTW - I want to hear the BEHIND THE SCENES story about (what appeared to be) a GIANT VLOGGER SLEEPOVER AT @MoreWillie'S PLACE.

@MattGiovanisci @_danielmeade You could use React or Vue for the front-end and PHP/Laravel for the back-end.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the livestream with @jamesclear! 🙌

I'm going to do an after show now to answer some of these questions...

@BigSeance @podcast_junkies Thanks! 🙌

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

@Shpigford Done! Guess I’m a 7?

Next up: @pocketcasts

Search rating: poor

Results: Pocket Casts (like Overcast) only searches show titles.

@KateKendall Especially if you outlast them!

@chrisachard @jonbuda We definitely touched on this in the episode!

In terms of "finding our first 100 customers" – building anticipation beforehand definitely helped.

I talk about that more here:

☝️ @MattGiovanisci you have any ideas?

@garethkthomas Agreed!

It's why I love reading @studiofellow & @pjrvs. 👌

@GDebrauwer @taylorotwell @LaraconUS 🙌 nice! See you there!

@CasJam Yup, I did this recently as well. Was surprised how much better it's gotten.

@r00k @PairWithTuple "If it's good enough for Arkansas, it's good enough for everyone."

@tomcreighton I want this but with donuts.

(I'm allergic to cats 😜)

I don't think that "price signals quality" works like this.

You can only "charge more" if people desire what you have.

Yes, price is one signal of quality. But there are many factors that influence a customer's motivation to buy a product.

@tonydehnke @maxalmonte14 So much of it is about how a haircut there makes me feel. 👌

https://www.instagram.com/p/BlfBYUSlcbB/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

@louisnicholls_ Nope. If they're not selling haircuts at $25, why would they magically sell haircuts at $35?

There's a deeper problem there.

"Price elasticity" depends on a bunch of factors, and they're missing most of them. 😜

@studiofellow @pjrvs Can't wait to dig into this! 🎉

@leogdion @okproductive @brightdigit @TransistorFM Thank you! 🙌

@ianlandsman Would subscribe.

@adamwathan Haha. Did your kid make that?

@robwalling @zenfounder Congrats! That's an amazing milestone! 🙌

@leif Streaks!

@noahkagan loved this one. 👌

Going to use this to map out our goals for @TransistorFM.

Thanks for the outline! 🙌

Help my buddy Levi out! 🙏

@PavelSivolin I used to be a social worker that worked with teenagers.

@ow @TransistorFM We're getting there! 💪

@tranhelen @TransistorFM That’s all thanks to @Shpigford at @Baremetrics! 🙌

@erwblo It definitely helps if there's not too many other folks fishing for the same fish.

BUT... sometimes you find a fishing spot where not many folks are fishing yet. That's our aim with Transistor. 👍

☝️ @iChris one of us needs to really do a deep dive into this and see if it's realistic.

I've thought about it, but I'd really like to be able to livesteam reliably from it, and I don't think that's possible without an external GPU. 😖 https://t.co/emmMIUTb2k

@dshlvrsn Yup.

@nbashaw I'd like to see this in something like @nuzzel: "top twitter threads from your friends."

@alejandr0zepeda @alexchaps @TransistorFM @syntaxfm Definitely check out https://saas.transistor.fm

@michaeldyrynda 😂

@m1guelpf Lol

@tylertringas We use Discourse for @megamaker.

A few reasons for it:
- We host it ourselves, so we don't have to worry about it being shut down
- It's searchable and good for async, long-form discussion
- It has decent threading

@lovevalgeisler @jasondoesstuff @getdrip 👋🏼 I worked for an ESP for ~7 years.

SORBS is a (notoriously) poorly run blacklist. They don't have a great reputation in the industry. Very few people use them (I don't think that's your problem)

To me, it looks like SPF isn't properly configured for http://wanderingaimfully.com

(@adamd suggested "being in limbo" which is close)

@JackEllis @asmartbear “Bootstrapping philosopher” would have also been a good title. 😉

@kuobot 🙌 thanks

@lachlanjc 🙌 awww yeaaah! Congrats! 🎉

Climate change stories these days could all have the same headline:

"It's worse than we thought."

@bryce what is happening on jan 1st i need to plan my calendar.

@NordicEdward @SaaSGrowthHub If you're looking at download numbers, those are highly correlated with when the episode is published.

@MihaiSterian @dhh To me it feels a lot like working out: a few focused hours a day translates into big gains after a year. 💪

So far, @transistorfm's been built on the side this way.

The difference is that in business, nothing is guaranteed. Efforts might not translate into a winning company.

@spencerowland Lol. I love this.

@thepodcasthost @hamstu So true.

For me entrepreneurship isn't the end goal, but rather "designing a good life."

@iChris Chris, every time I edit my own podcast I lose 5 years of my life.

@jonbuda and I need to get back on a schedule so that you're performing your audio magic on our show again.

@leogdion Yes! @IncredibleCulk did a good overview, but I wanna go DEEEEEP.

@EricCozart ok cool, so you'd listen. 😉

@adamwathan @steveschoger maybe if you ate more vegetables your vocal chords would be stronger 💪

@brennandunn @dohertyjf I should. But how long are these guys going to keep playing the sports ball?

@arlogilbert BTW - I'm not saying folks shouldn't "ship early" (or ship often).

I'm saying that success doesn't happen overnight.

It takes time for even the best ideas to evolve, find their place, and start growing.

@turgs It's all right here! https://justinjackson.ca/livestreaming

@Shpigford This looks like Tumblr. 😉

@Shpigford Is this for a personal project? Like a stream of consciousness kind of thing? Like others have said, this really feels like Tumblr. 😀

I will say I'm loving @statamic for http://justinjackson.ca

@TrinAndTonic @TessFowler i just always wanted to be mark

@KClarkADSTech AWWW YEAAAH! 🔥

You can catch up on my bootstrapping series here:

If you're more of a podcast person, I've been doing tons of audio:

@kodiebeckley Thanks for talking about this stuff Kodie. It’s important that we all start discussing mental health (in the open!) more. 👍

Also interesting: some popular tech podcasts (like @atpfm) aren't even listed on Spotify. (Marco doesn't like their TOS)

@tcodinat Crazy! You're the second person to say this.

Anecdotally, I don't know anyone who uses Spotify.

And, I'm not seeing it represented in our stats either.

Weird!

So you're saying your friends all use Spotify to listen to podcasts?

@levelsio This is why I ❤️ @taylorotwell's @LaraconUS.

@Swizec omg! i’ve been wanting this

@pierrah_ @venikunche Nice! 🙌

@Time_is_ticking Sure.

However, in North America, if you have kids + a mortgage, you'll need at least $10k / month in most markets.

The bigger issue is reducing risk by:
- reducing other expenses
- saving more of the profit

@shaunpersad @m1guelpf @CommentBox_io 🙌

@plehoux I love it! 🙌

@stefanbauerme @laravelphp @tailwindcss Congrats! Looks great. 🙌

@stubailo thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

@flybayer Oh no! Hoping for recovery soon! ❤️

@_middlesister Yes! Definitely check out @statamic. 👌

@ajlkn Thanks AJ!

You should check out @jackmcdade's other design work. Super rad.

@jonhainstock @statamic I really like it. I'd looked at Middleman a few times.

The big difference is that Middleman is a CLI-driven static site generator.

Statamic has a control panel, editor, interface (flate-file CMS).

@damcclean Thanks! 🙌

@jackmcdade really killed it on design.

@adamwathan @tailwindcss Whaaaaaaaat

@bk_moore lol. cc @mikeherreraTD 🤘

@j_greig lol. it's true!

@r00k @statamic A few things are motivating this:

1. @pjrvs + @studiofellow just switched to ServerPilot + DO and are really liking it.

2. I'm currently on WPengine and the overage charges (for over 100,000 visits) can get expensive!

2. Writing – it took years, but eventually, pieces like http://justinjackson.ca/words started resonating.

Again, showing up every week helps.

Write, and publish something, every week.

And remember to at least tell *someone* about it! (Twitter, Facebook, a Slack group, DM a friend)

@akebrattberg @yuzool C'mon man! 🤣

@dnsbty Yup! Most of my bootstrapping series is here:
https://justinjackson.ca/bootstrap

@VineetDevaiah It hovers around 10,000. I just did a big purge.

@hnshah Thanks!

Also, I tried reporting this Screenflow bug through your website, and got this error:

@mikeherreraTD 👋 Yup, answering support emails for 🎙️ http://transistor.fm 👌

@davecraige @levelsio @rrhoover It already exists!
