@mikevardy Us too! 🙌

@cgenco Apple Podcasts is the most important (almost all the other directories pull from there).

@cgenco That's the part of onboarding we're still trying to figure out.

RSS is open and beautiful, but it means more work to submit it everywhere.

@robfindlay @shellen 😂

@robertmpreston @sketch You never know!

@nystudio107 @jonbuda @TransistorFM yeah, I've been a big fan (and user) of @DescriptApp for a long time! 🙌

@MattGiovanisci Hahaha

@misener @ChartableDotCom Agreed. 🙌

@songadaymann First

@BilalBudhani Interviews are one way (asking your target customers what they're currently spending money on).

It can also be observational:

• "Wow, every real estate agent I know uses Docusign."
• "It seems like everyone on Twitter is talking about switching to ConvertKit."

@ninjaparade Yessssssss

✌️

@volkandkaya Now we’re talking!

Almost every SaaS company spends money on a website design + hosting.

Initially it might be an “off-the-shelf” template.

Later on it might be something more bespoke.

For @TransistorFM we initially spent ~$1,500 to get our site up and running.

@jstoone @jonbuda @TransistorFM Nice! 🙌

I’m listening to your soundcloud right now! 🎧 👍

@valsopi @Starbucks Bellboy

I wrote a little "tips and tricks" guide here you might find helpful:

@JacobBennett Nice 👍

@theashguy I totally identify with that! 👌

@mjwhansen @ScottHYoung Totally. I'm talking about the long-term investment in building genuine relationships and an audience that trusts you.

@officeofsarah @raspberrysarah Love this one!

@songadaymann Whoa!!!!! I need to update my numbers.

@iprashantpillai That’s https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/bullet/id1464117391

@zenfounder Gross. Totally inappropriate.

@fortelabs Nice. 👌 I dig his bio!

@darianrosebrook @seanwes 🎯

@chachovaladez Thanks for writing this ❤️

@michaeldyrynda Oh I get it. Hahhahaaa. Omg 😂

@sambreed Looks to me you’re done.

@zachcavender @CoverStoriesTX Yes! 🙌

@jonbstrong Yes! Ack. I need to fix this.

@arvidkahl Yup. I think being able to “quit fast” is an underrated ability.

@zkahn I’ve never thought about this before.

WHAT IS THIS?

@aidannandrews 😮

@alphacolin Hey, it’s your bean strategy that got you here. 😉

@maggerbo Oh yeah. This is just the beginning.

@ericraio @KateBour The Wikipedia article mentions that very scenario!

@AnthonyCastrio @TransistorFM We are using @Kayako

@mperr0n @danmartell @allowe Yes! Me too.

@alphacolin @reworkpodcast Thanks!

@alphacolin Drinking coffee! ☕️

My kids are past the “dripping maple syrup on their head” stage. 😜

@CasJam This is the kind of drug addict I’ve become.

@morganandrewv The full Wikipedia definition points to the “profit maximizing” and “selling on emotion” nature of value-based pricing.

@LandonB32 Yes! We recently decided to accept a few enterprise clients to see what the process was like.

😳 their procurement process was 🤯

@chaddeshon Yes! Exactly. 🎯

@sambreed why’d you use your real name tho

@drikerf Sweet. Thanks!

@patrickkingart One of my favorite bands!

@ryanchenkie Did you solve it?

@AndreasSchantl @TransistorFM @statamic @tailwindcss @1PercentFTP Thanks Andreas. I appreciated your help as well!

@laurium This looks great!

@JSBlair9 @statamic Damn. I should have done this. 😜

@axsuul Yes, a niche is helpful for gaining a foothold (especially when looking for good marketing channels).

The caveat is that (no matter which approach you take) you need to find a market with enough buyers.

@joshuaanderton Yes!

The caveat is that targeting a subset isn’t enough on its own.

This is why I’m thinking it’s better to look for evidence of active commerce, rather than hunt for a niche.

(A niche can be a helpful foothold for marketing though.)

@seanwes Send you two lots of ❤️.

@marcuspoehls You can upload an MP3 to @TransistorFM that has chapters, but you’ll use different software to create them.

@iChris (who edits Shop Talk and @buildyoursaas) uses this I believe: https://overcast.fm/forecast

@jonasdowney Are you referring to me? 😄

@adii Thank you! 🙌

@sammyschuckert Highly recommended

@timohetzel @dhh @TransistorFM Yup, we’re only hosting. We don’t manage ads.

Really good discussion of the recent 🇨🇦 election on @bcharland’s podcast:

https://overcast.fm/+NNa2J9rwc

@ow No ScreenFlow or Sketch on Windows (haven’t seen worthy replacements for those, especially ScreenFlow).

I use those every day.

@AndrewWarner @basecamp Thanks Andrew! I've always been a big fan of your show. hat means a lot coming from you. 👍

@MrSimonBennett @SaaSReality What a beauty! Congratulations! 🎉

@metajess Thanks Jess!

@_brandswell cc @cheriehu42

@TimVanDijck @TransistorFM Nice! Glad at least some folks liked it. 😁

@yongfook @patio11 Crazy! This is a whole new world I knew nothing about.

@bryce Their blog? Or the amount of press they get in the media?

@dan_radin @zkahn Thanks Dan! 🙌

Creating a simple UI was one of our big goals for @TransistorFM. 👍

@asantibanez @statamic 🙌

@ianlandsman There was! They’re all defunct now I think.

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/make-the-ipad-your-next-wireframing-tool/

@jstoone I know! I love it too.

@venikunche 😂

@taylorotwell What?!

@mattmedeiros @pjrvs DID I MENTION I WAS ON VACATION

@lynnandtonic @CodePen Wow! This is sweet! 🙌

@petersuhm Yeah, I don't really know either. I'm just trying to ask myself the hard questions.

@_KevinGraham Yup! https://vimeo.com/74338272

@_lizardbird_ I haven't! I'll take a look.

There are more factors that influence a business than just inflation: the labor market, the cost of goods, the cost of energy, competition, the cost to acquire a customer.

If any of those costs go up, you'll need to bring in more revenue, and likely increase your consumption.

As @beberlei is pointing out: keeping up with inflation wouldn't increase your business' consumption.

Theoretically, your consumption would stay the same; only the price of that consumption would go up.

@TransistorFM @thelieonroars @KarenUnland I think you’d dig what James is doing here too!

He’s the former senior editor and columnist for Hearst Connecticut newspapers.

@TransistorFM @thelieonroars @AndrewYang I think you'd be interested in the discussion @thelieonroars is having with regular folks here. 👌

@AndrewAskins Yup. Exactly.

Foundationally, inflation itself requires companies to increase revenue every year.

Theoretically, growth could be slowed, but not eliminated.

@LinusEkenstam @mhartl @KiddBubu @andreasklinger Published way before Motherfucking Website. 😜

@jonathanwmeier @Noahpinion This one? I’ll take a look!

https://twitter.com/noahpinion/status/1187025565636648960?s=21

@MalinovszkyL @jonbuda We’ve just started following the “no backlogs” approach, and we’re liking it.

@arvidkahl Yes, a pre-existing behavior seems to be what we’re looking for.

If we’ve already “hired” something else to do the same job in the past, and we’re not satisfied with it, we’re more likely to hire something else in the future.

@arvidkahl I’m curious about this.

There was clearly momentum in that market (an increasing number of teachers earning a living teaching English).

We’ve seen a similar pattern of “paying for things that make you better in your career” in the dev market.

Do you think it’s the same here?

@apnerve Apple’s always followed this. They didn’t make the first:

- PC
- Laptop
- MP3 player
- Smart phone

They saw the existing demand, and capitalized on it.

@bramk 💁‍♂️

@mattragland He'll be ecstatic!

@SproingCreative you got it 👍

@ArlonAntonius @buildyoursaas @jonbuda Aww sweet! Thanks Arlon! 🙌

@AJChadha Totally impressive! I don’t know how he built it.
