@benediktdeicke @TransistorFM @uibreakfast @userlist YESSSSS!!!! 🔥🔥s

Adding you now

@podcastharry @stripe @like2have @danhulton @nodewood @TransistorFM @TheLowerStreet YESSSSS.

Adding you now.

@yhdesai @stripe @like2have @danhulton @nodewood @TransistorFM @IndieMakerTech Adding you now!

@NathanG Just woke up. I’ll check it when I get to my computer. 👍

@stauffermatt Yessssssss

He’s the soul balm we all needed 🥰

@robmerki Had you already done it, or did you do it because of this campaign?

(Need to decide if I add you to the campaign goal or not)

@thethoughtcard Are you moving from a retainer to contract work with different clients?

@hunterwalk If this is satirical take on thought-leader tweets, I'm here for it. 👏

@thejonotron eHummer?

@mynameis_davis @microacquire @robwalling Yup.

(That's why I said, "It depends on growth and how strategic a target is.")

But strategic acquisitions are quite rare. The most likely outcome for a bootstrapped SaaS is a private equity firm buying them for 2x-8x ARR.

@mynameis_davis @microacquire @robwalling It all depends on growth and how strategic a target is.

But I’ve seen very high multiples when MRR is low ($6k ARR selling for 20x)

Once you cross over $1 million ARR, the most common range seems to be 2X-8X.

(Example: Baremetrics sold for ~2.65x ARR)

@thar 🙌

@HighFiveRPG @meonlylouder @PodcastOutfit Oh wow!!! 😻

@earthlingworks 🎯 So many different dynamics at play in every category.

It’s interesting to see how the same customer can have one mindset (regarding pricing) in a certain market, but a completely different mindset when it comes to buying a different product.

Lots of nuance.

@SloanCam @PierreDeWulf If you’re offering lower prices, you want a product that’s incredibly simple to install. (Requiring a dev to install code snippets will substantially slow sales).

If your product takes quite a bit of hand holding to get installed, I would charge higher prices.

@PierreDeWulf This move makes sense (especially for a technical product!)

@fideloper @JordanGal Yeah. We don’t care about that either.

(It’s how we started @TransistorFM!)

@randfish @amandanat Congrats! 🙌

@tylertringas @bryce 👀👀

@_agtlucas @IronMaiden Incredible video

h/t to @michaeldyrynda.

Incredible new track. 🔥🔥

@rsimplicio @TransistorFM Yeah, I'd love to have this as a feature in @meepsapp at some point: an automatic connection to @Printful.

@hmoosavian @raspberrysarah @TransistorFM Me too! 🙌

@christophrumpel @ianlandsman Lol. Nope. This one.

@ianlandsman For sure when we sell our companies people will be like:

"Ian who?"

"Justin Jackson the football player?"

@Mqsley From 2018: https://greekreporter.com/2018/01/18/greek-australians-join-rich-list/

@arvidkahl @spencerfry 🎯

Also, when looking at the incentive structure, we need to look at who bears most of the risk (founders and LPs).

"VCs get paid even when they “fail” to return adequate returns. LPs only get paid when VCs do an amazing job (rare)."

@itskyleharris I approve of this whole look. 💯

@lesley_pizza @SymbolOfFlight 💯

@GoPodfriend @mattwensing And that’s what I mean: RSS is holding the balance of power.

Most podcast creators want the biggest audience possible. That means reaching people on Apple, FB, Spotify, Google, @pocketcasts, @PodcastAddict, etc.

The only protocol that can power that (currently) is RSS.

@SatchellDrakes YES.

@VelocityWong To me, this is the pinnacle of cool. 🏔

@sol_orwell Yes

@iamcoreyg @speakflowhq Nice! 🙌 Love that feeling.

@megamaker Wow. Forgot I’d scheduled this!

@seb_sebsn @TheYelitsa It’s both: governments and businesses are responsible. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1251692255515009025

@sol_orwell I’m reading this right now too!

@wesgarrison YES

@KrisColvin The kids just love it. They can spend hours in the pool, every day.

And once they’re old enough to swim on their own, the parents can just sit and relax. 🙏

I find it the most relaxing.

@HighFiveRPG @gameplaypodcast @castopod @FollowFridayPod @MagnificentNoi1 @WWTLpodcast @MementosPodcast @Podnews @TransistorFM @buzzsprout @podsights Nice! How’s the quality of the Transistor sticker?

(I used @Printful on-demand for that for the first time)

@EmmettNaughton Just DM’d you

@OnlyPetsHQ 🎉

@tomjacquesson @AndyBlackJnr @DescriptApp I use it all the time for my podcast!

@bsierakowski @r00k For me, my coworking community (@CoWorkVernon) is a group of folks, all working for different companies, in different disciplines. The diversity is wonderful.

Plus: there is no power differential, no workplace drama, no politics. We’re all peers.

It’s a freeing way to work.

@r00k It definitely checks the “I want to work around folks I like” box. ✅

I’d love to work locally with @jonbuda too, but having a remote company has given us (and our two contractors) tons of personal freedom.

@graemeblake @RikNieu For income tax purposes. Personal income tax is way higher than Corp taxes.

If I don’t need the money (personally) it makes more sense to keep it in the business (the business can invest the cash so it’s not just sitting there).

@typeoneerror Niiice! 🙌

Love that feeling.

@justinjdean I’ve personally had offers from Stripe for $125k loans.

(And I’ve heard of them offering even bigger loans).

@jacobmparis Yup. I’m just saying the banks/insurers should reassess how they think about risk. 😉

Verified subscription revenue (for an entrepreneur) is far more dependable than a paycheque.

Consistent MRR > Paystubs

@RichJDSmith Then the insurers should reassess how they think about risk. 😉

@lisamahapatra @patio11 💯

@TheSantaDad @buzzsprout @TransistorFM @RSPowersAuthor Love Christmas in July! 🙌

Transistor is a great choice if you ever want to start multiple podcasts:

https://transistor.fm/features/host-multiple-podcasts-on-the-same-account/

@GeoffTRoberts 💯 it's valuable.

Since starting @megamaker in 2013, it's the most requested feature:

"How can I find someone who's good at Rails?"
"How can I get a list of everyone's Twitter handle?"
"How can I see what everyone's working on?"

I used our new @meepsapp directory yesterday!

@allthecode_ Thanks Simon!

@asynchio @BrandonWaselnuk Lol. Sweet. 🙏

@thisismahmoud_ happy birthday! 🎉

@AnthonyCastrio @felix12777 @MeetKevon @thenotionbar @HainingMax Nice! And thanks for using @TransistorFM, Anthony!! 🥰😍

@chddaniel That’s “Bad Decisions” by @StrikerMetal:

@AndyBlackJnr @DanSchoonmaker @TransistorFM @jonbuda Yes!

@JanKosutnik @TransistorFM @joshuaanderton Thanks! 🙌

@usefathom @chrislema Love the update! 🙌

@samshafie Thanks Sam!

@kevntz 🙌 thanks

@ashnur lol.

Our email list stands outside of time.

If you’re curious about what we’re cooking up, sign up for our waiting list here:

https://meeps.app

@Shpigford Any update on this? Were the results conclusive?

@chddaniel @asmartbear In a sense, yup.

Cards Against Humanity said they’d be our first customer before the app was built.

@itsdavemartin Nope. But I love looking at real estate.

@DaronSpence The one difference: humidity.

It’s 22% today. 🤙

@iroughol @dmathewwws @podysseyapp @TransistorFM @ApplePodcasts 🙌 happy to help

@smgrieser @amaliaefowler “Multiple podcast ideas” is one reason I started @TransistorFM. 😉 (Wanted the ability to create multiple, separate, shows without paying for each additional podcast).

I have a good guide on getting started here:

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

@iroughol @dmathewwws @podysseyapp @TransistorFM Yup, you have that tag in your Transistor feed.

The problem is Apple. Their @ApplePodcasts database does not refresh artwork. It's a huge (frustrating) bug with them.

I have a personal contact at Apple, I'll contact them for you. 👍

@mjwhansen It's also put me in a totally different frame of mind when chatting with customers.

Instead of quickly dismissing their problems, or being impatient with them, I'm learning to see them like this:

"understanding that their decisions and actions make sense from their perspective"

@MattGiovanisci It’s really well done!

@chddaniel @noahwbragg @chhddavid Nice! Hadn’t read this yet.

@chddaniel Hahahaa. Love that name!

@odymakes Thanks.

@JacobBennett lol thanks

@Aazarshad 😄 it’s true

@FORSBERGtwo Lol. Thanks.

@mjwhansen @TransistorFM Yes! It’s an awesome way to release a book.

I did it for @joltbook. 👍

@mjwhansen @kaisdavis You should use the new enhanced private podcast feature for this though!!

Your account already supports it, and it’s 🔥.

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

@ryanchenkie Thanks Ryan!

@RamliJohn Thanks! 🕺🏼🔥

@davidhemphill Thx David!

@stauffermatt Thanks Matt. I appreciate you! 🙌

@adamwathan Thanks Adam! You’ve been a real encouragement to me since we met. I appreciate it. 🙏

@abigailotwell Thanks Abigail! 🥳

@pjrvs Hahaha. Thanks Paul! 🙌 Can’t wait until we can hang out again.

I desperately wanted Chip & Pepper as a kid, but never got it. 😄

@harriskenny @TransistorFM 👍

@theothercole Beauty! Thanks.

@JeffLynch @TransistorFM Wish I had the artistic ability to execute on that vision. 😅

@rsobers @TransistorFM Is this better?

@hmoosavian @TransistorFM Better?
