@Shpigford No, I'm just trying to find common ground.

Is there a place for critical thinking in web3?

Thoughtfully evaluating information, and discussing it publicly (even when it might not match up with current beliefs?).

@JackMastrangelo @forwardcap Agreed.

The usefulness of TAM is in predicting whether your chosen market meets a minimum floor of potential, and understanding what the general ceiling is likely to be.

@grodier True. It’s a requirement; but he must say yes to every request!

@smgrieser 🙌

@smgrieser In general, the more margin you have, the better.

In retrospect, I wish I’d had way more savings before I started bootstrapping on my own.

Also, seek business ideas that have margin: https://justinjackson.ca/margin

@DescriptApp @TransistorFM Thanks for having me!

@randfish @amandanat I just demoed this trick live on the @DescriptApp livestream:

New Year, Better Podcasting Habits https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1OwxWzbwXPVJQ

@webby2001 Whoa!!!

Podcasting’s total ad revenue sure seems small compared to this number. 😄

@yarobagriy @TransistorFM @jonbuda Thanks!

@BretFisher @TransistorFM @jonbuda Thanks 🥰

@kirkbyers @jonbuda @TransistorFM We had some good runs 👍

@threehourcoffee It's true! Perfect size for me. 😊

@ivanbrezakbrkan Haha. Well, I replaced a 1 hour commute with a 20 minute walk. 😄

(So I still get my podcast listening in)

@emilybest Amen. 🙏

@nicoloborghi @CasJam ✅ ZipMessage is built for threaded video conversations.

✅ ZipMessage has better pricing

✅ ZipMessage is built by an indie founder

@MiguelCoba_ Yes! Always hope. 🙏

@jongold I’m not good at it, but over the pandemic I’ve found guitar strumming, piano plunking, and singing badly to be incredibly therapeutic.

@Tim_Aton 😂

@iChris Sending you and the fam lots of healthy vibes! ❤️

@dvassallo What do you mean by ambition and dreams? Like, more materialistic goals?

@tylertringas cc @cheriehu42

@jimhilluk @jonbuda Haha, oops!

Our site is static (and hosted on Netlify) so I needed to deploy a new version before that would update.

(Even though it was updated locally🤦‍♂️)

@LumSmith My experience is there’s a certain kind of Prosumer customer who’s much easier to support than a certain kind of SMB.

@mikeymayers Agreed.

@theKevinShen Subscribed!

@destraynor What changes this dynamic considerably is the “Prosumer” element.

When a consumer is an aspiring professional, takes their hobby really seriously, or is launching a side-project, their LTV can be substantial.

@RamliJohn NICE!

@bentoalson Cool!

@JackRhysider But now Spotify, Google, YouTube, Amazon, etc essentially have centralized power because they control the primary means of distribution.

Individual creators and artists can’t get traction without the big, centralized, platforms.

@alpipego Yes; because currently getting any traction for your project, product, NFT, artwork, music, video, requires distribution from the big centralized aggregators (Google, FB, Spotify, etc)

Without them, there’s no discoverability (even for small indie projects).

@joshaledgard @Shopify This is, in essence, what Mastadon has attempted, but it just doesn't have the network effects of centralized platforms like Twitter.

@songadaymann But I don’t see how web3 architecture could ever solve this problem?

@joshaledgard And discoverability is still "centralized" in that those @shopify stores still have to use Google, FB ads, Instagram ads, etc to attract customers.

@erwblo @benedictevans Thx! Hadn’t seen this.

@maximehugodupre How are people going to find your NFT?

@maximehugodupre I think you're misunderstanding my use of "distribution."

Here, distribution = promotion, discoverability, etc

@valentin_wln @startupspod @robwalling @artofproductpod @r00k @derrickreimer @CasJam @JordanGal @buildyoursaas @jonbuda Thx Valentin! 🥰

@mikeherreraTD lookin' good, but we need to get some Sorels on your feet!

@Raelshark Yup!

@kayak360 Thx

@sssaini_ Thx! He’ll be excited to see that his video has well over 100 views. 👍

@FORSBERGtwo Thx! He’ll be excited to see that his video has well over 100 views. 👍

@al_daro Thx! He’ll be excited to see that his video has well over 100 views. 👍

@this_ting @michaelsoolee Nice!

@jesseleite85 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

@CasJam Nice! I dig this groove. Great playing!

@clearlyTHUYDOAN @TransistorFM Awesome! We put a lot of effort into that; glad to hear it’s helpful. 🥰

@AaronWeiche @TransistorFM Thanks! 🥰

@CasJam @conarro @_matthewpalmer @raycastapp +1 to rocket

@DannyAziz97 @stephsmithio There’s an additional question: do podcast listeners want to be tracked (and targeted) in this way?

@econliberties @sarahmillerdc @amazon @AGKarlRacine 😬 yikes

@portertech @tfyhpodcast @buildyoursaas @jonbuda Oh beauty

@tfyhpodcast @buildyoursaas @jonbuda ☺️

@AlbanBrooke @buildyoursaas @jonbuda 😄

@growthcurrency I think publishing clips on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook (in addition to publishing on your RSS feed) is a good idea. 👍

Example:

Old headphones (2014): Sennheiser HD 202 II

New headphones (2021): Audio-Technica ATH-M50x

@threehourcoffee Such a great feeling when presents are done! 🙌

@taylorotwell @wtsnz @JoshSchoen I think the idea that modern federal governments are “bad at spending our money” is overblown.

The economist @MazzucatoM has a convincing argument that the USA government’s spending has lead to increased innovation and growth.

https://www.wired.co.uk/article/mariana-mazzucato

@jonfriesen @reedallred Yes.

*much much much smaller scale 😉

@aarondfrancis Details here.

“The tax would likely apply to about 700 people.”

@aarondfrancis That’s the context for this whole thing!

The Dems are currently trying to pass new tax policies and Elon doesn’t like them.

@Swizec People’s responses to this thread are truly mind boggling.

The point is: only the ultra-rich, with most of their net worth in public companies, can use stock like collateral in this way.

It’s almost 100% likely that nobody reading this thread will ever be able to do this.

@wtsnz @dvassallo People wouldn’t have been outraged because it wouldn’t have been a story.

When the stock was at $6.24 the public wouldn’t have known the stock would go to $1,000.

He would have exercised the options, paid the tax, and moved on.

@solodiveco @dvassallo Nah. Tesla’s board of directors set the vesting schedule.

Also: why would it be “bad PR” for a CEO to be exercising options? If he’s buying stock it means he believes in the future of the company.

(It’s arguably a better move)

@ben_woodward In both business and podcasting I think you need a category/topic that people are already interested in (already searching for).

That needs to match up with your interest, passion, skills, network, as the creator.

The intersection (between the two) is where the magic happens.

@ben_woodward Probably the best way to see the pain points is to start a podcast.

There’s tons of nuance in podcasting that’s hard to get unless you’ve done it. 👍

A clear-minded summary of what’s happening right now, and some sensible advice for how we should respond, individually. https://twitter.com/ddiamond/status/1472296229774180352

@hack3r_vaillant About 91% of electricity here is produced from hydro. 👍

Talked about this concept quite a bit with @joshuaanderton on the @megamaker podcast:

@alanb @DashBarkHuss 🥰 thx!

@OrionSeven @meepsapp Thx!

@podcastharry @TransistorFM 🥳

“It’s time to come back to Transistor”

@JamesCridland @heyreform @savvycal @TransistorFM Yes, I think we're on the same page here. (Although there's a bit of interesting nuance we discuss later).

Car companies have been doing comparison marketing for a long time. It can be effective. 👍

@CasJam I agree; but I've done usability tests where people don't read the H2, H3, etc...

This dynamic also shows up in 5 second tests: https://fivesecondtest.com/

@pc4media @peeplaja Isn't everything that's being made really just an iteration on what's come before?

I think everyone's building "a better mousetrap," or a "a mousetrap but for X."

I also don't think we can "create demand" for things; customer demand is an accumulation of factors.

@debgotwired I suppose that their intention; to me it seems ridiculous (but I've never managed a brand that big!)

@debgotwired yup!

🎯 https://twitter.com/peeplaja/status/1471104860946894859

@tenlinesofcode @CasJam Yup! If a listener has already downloaded the MP3 on their device, that doesn’t get updated.

But every new download / stream / play gets the new dynamic audio. 👍

Even for indie podcasts like @buildyoursaas, we’ll get thousands of impressions on these campaigns. 📊

@scott_bair @marknorm Lol. I saw this beauty from @allanbranch right after I tweeted mine.

@davidtvrdon I found your 2021 podcast industry breakdown really helpful.

Thanks for writing it!

@sambreed 🙌

@kehers Oh dang! That’s a mistake.

The article is here:

https://justinjackson.ca/take-off

@jamesm Really dope! Well done!

@automattic @tumblr I found it:

1. In Tumblr Dashboard, click on the Account → Edit Appearance
2. Click on Edit Theme button (same Customize)
3. Scroll to the button and click Advanced Settings
4. Uncheck "Promote Tumblr!"

But it doesn't appear to be working?

@pandulu @CasJam Generally I only publish video clips.

Curious: do you generally prefer video over audio podcasts?

@codingedgar @anchor @TransistorFM If you’re still having trouble, I’d be happy to get you set up on Transistor. 🤝

@leenyburger Nice work! 🙌

@ericlbarnes Me too.

@earthlingworks @AishaZaza @ApplePodcasts @spotifypodcasts Here is the age distribution:

https://transistor.fm/gen-z/

@earthlingworks @AishaZaza @ApplePodcasts @spotifypodcasts Yes.

Demographically, Spotify skews young and female.

The majority of her listeners on Spotify are women (89%).

Anecdotally, we're seeing a larger percentage of women discovering + listening to podcasts on Spotify.

@z8675309 @CasJam @buildyoursaas @ZipMessage http://Riverside.fm

@CasJam @buildyoursaas @ZipMessage @ApplePodcasts @spotifypodcasts @OvercastFM Haha.

Impromptu podcast chats > Scheduled podcast interviews

@amandanat @randfish whoa!
