@fred_duffield There's some background on it here: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/11/30/salary/

@mattcassinelli Creating a task for this now. @jonbuda and I will look into this today!

@mattcassinelli @mescutia @_supercomputer @TransistorFM Oh yikes. We'll definitely look at this.

What would be a better taxonomy for short URLs?

@kentcdodds Congrats man!

@Kameronkales Yup: @breaker, @castbox, and Himalaya are all working on this.

(@spotify too)

@brightdigit 1. Screenflow
2. @code

@brightdigit The operating system!

Mouse support.

Software.

@Ayo_Af I don't think customers necessarily gravitate to the best product, but rather the most desirable product.

Desire is usually a result of good:

1. Product / market fit
2. Product design + execution
3. Product marketing

@chris_hawk In my book, I recommend that you look for three things in a target market:

1. Purchasing power
2. Purchasing desire
3. Critical mass

@codyschneiderxx @kshaper There's nuance to that though.

Not every business values "saving time" as @copyhackers explores here:

https://copyhackers.com/2012/10/save-time-and-money-is-lazy-ass-messaging/

@EricDiviney @seanwes Yes, you really need to execute these steps well:

1. Pick a good market
2. Discover what they desire
3. Build something that gives them the outcomes they want
4. Do it better than the competition

@codyschneiderxx Part of this is semantics, but I've found I'm better at recognizing what people truly want (and will pay for) as opposed to guessing what they need (and will pay for).

One feels prescriptive ("you need this!") the other is descriptive ("I'm listening, and you seem to want this")

@kshaper @pjrvs Product creators have to do these steps well:

1. Pick a good market
2. Discover what they desire
3. Build something that gives them the outcome they want

@themarkcarroll Thanks for sharing it! 🔥

@adamlogic #i #totally #agree

@asmartbear just donated! 🙌

@PaulAntWilliams @SingleFounder @robwalling ☝️ I like this one.

@KarenUnland I hope you brought a voice recorder!

@andrewculver I luv u 2

@sambreed Sending you lots of ❤️

@joeybeninghove This is the primary reason:

@gcaprio Good article! 👍

@carljbusch @TransistorFM Nope, if you follow these steps you shouldn't lose anything:

@iamashley @TheStreaksApp Aww YEAAAH! 🔥💪

@GreggJaskiewicz 😆

@JamesCridland That's exactly what I just noticed in Roald Dahl's as well!

HE HAD TWO! 😱

@davidhemphill @pjrvs Contraband!

@thetightends @KarenUnland @thatsathingYEG The whole segment is just so good.

I love hearing Karen interact with her kids in such an open way.

@JordanGal What?

@nbashaw What do you (or @stratechery) mean by "full monetization potential?"

Second, is "full monetization" something we want (or need)?

@valsopi @paulg @jasonfried Let's make it happen! 🙌

@scottmathson @jonbuda Thanks for listening!

Yes, Apple has a big opportunity here. And, as @JamesCridland points out, "they already have everyone's credit card number."

https://twitter.com/JamesCridland/status/1093122778318831616

@jhooks For a second I thought you were talking about the novel!

@iannuttall Haha. It's true.

But think, once we're doing these numbers annually...

$1M = $10M in Spotify money
$10M = $100M in Spotify money
$100M = $1,000,000,000 in Spotify money!

@iannuttall It's all public here. 😅

https://transistor.baremetrics.com/

@heidi_helen Currently, podcasters have to submit manually, and about 60% have done so.

@_danielmeade Total podcasting economy is probably bigger than $500M, but...

Total ad rev for podcasts was only $314 million in 2017.

In 2015, Midroll Media was acquired for $50 million.

In 2018, Stuff Media (How Stuff Works) was acquired for $55 million.

@ericlbarnes Hahaha. More SEO problems for me!

@jmacias Still processing it!

@Aazarshad Yup, they changed it in the App Store this past month.

@ethananderson No immediate changes for @TransistorFM 😉

People like this one! 🙌

@mattwensing @TransistorFM You liked this one? 😉

@okydk Lol. The descive factor!

@jro7 @JamesClear Thank you! 🙌

@Shpigford I definitely agree when it comes to houses!

@left_pad Our friend @iChris edits our @TransistorFM show!

@Kevin_McArdle @tylertringas @lovevalgeisler @wardsandler @IndieHackers @csallen Yes, I've chatted with Courtland about their system quite a bit.

They've been paying someone to transcribe those interviews by hand + insert time codes. (The time codes is the easy part)

Again, it's possible to do it, but not at scale yet.

@lovevalgeisler @pjrvs Definitely! 🙌

@morajabi @zeithq Nice! 👍

@kamilrextin @dohertyjf @pjrvs There is a chance that all the public backlash will negatively affect Facebook.

It happened with Uber (Lyft gained marketshare after #deleteuber)

https://therideshareguy.com/it-looks-like-deleteuber-had-more-of-an-impact-than-we-thought/

@EspreeDevora Stay strong! 💪

You got this! 🙌

@kalenjordan @earthlingworks @sudyk As @nwquah has pointed out: Gimlet's business model is actually super risky.

It requires a lot of up-front resources to develop a show, with no guarantee that the bet will pay off.

In some ways, the Spotify acquisition is their only way out (seeing as they took VC money).

@chadhflinn @TransistorFM Nice! 🙌

@daverodenbaugh @Patticus The new content deals they're doing now are definitely more edgy.

@tylertringas Yup, but I think Apple should try to buy Gimlet.

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1091508922022686720?s=21

@qwoods13 Spotify has already done podcast exclusives.

My guess is these will be structured similarly.

https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2018/08/23/spotify-podcast-joe-budden/

My guess: they'll do both.

Some shows (like @replyall) will stay free and ad-supported.

But new shows like these will be for paying subscribers only:

- the next big audio drama with Hollywood talent
- the next big comedy show with A-list comedian https://twitter.com/iChris/status/1091520710483329026

BTW - Apple is *already* investing in original content for their new streaming service.

They've already bought the rights to a new thriller series by @MNightShyamalan.

https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/27/17059138/apple-tv-thriller-series-m-night-shyamalan

@thekylemarshall They'd likely increase the price for an "everything bundle."

@Patticus One exception: in the "dev" niche they've been doing original content successfully for years. (WWDC)

@Patticus I agree (this is historically true).

But they know they need to develop this expertise (especially with their new streaming service).

Hardware revenue is falling, they're looking increasingly to services + entertainment for new growth.

@lovevalgeisler This deserves a trophy! 🙌

@marshal Wowser!

@ideasasylum Wait. That's a snow day!?!? 😮

@davecraige @Restreamio Not that I know of.

@danielalvez91 @taylorotwell Nice! I spy @productpeopletv and http://saas.transistor.fm 🙌

@JacobBennett @USATODAYmoney 😍 hot stuff!!

@chrisachard @r00k @TransistorFM Thanks! 🙌

@adii @TransistorFM haha. Thanks. I might just stay off the booze though!

@BFTrick @jasonfried To a certain extent this is already happening.

Often, "verified" users of social apps don't see ads.

@clardy @r00k @derrickreimer @robwalling @SingleFounder @ThisIsSethsBlog Thank you! Loved this part. Really encouraging for me. 👍

@garrettdimon Awww yeaaaah!!! 🔥 Nice work! 🙌

@jamielandsman This is what you call "a hipster test."

@tylertringas I made a similar point earlier in Jan:

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1085687498724990976?s=21

“Charge more” has its merits, especially early in bootstrapping when some folks were under-pricing their services.

Nowadays I'm thinking more in terms of: "The price has to fit the product and reflect the market."

@heidi_helen @Breaker Please do! (I'd love it if you left a comment as well)

@jhooks i’m wondering more about the bandwidth.

Can you livestream at 1080p without lag?

@jhooks Any update on this setup? I'd love to see what the output video looks like. 👌

@typeoneerror @remarkablepaper Oh sweet! Remarkable looks cool. 👌

Better than a kindle?

@MoreWillie @theleviallen Yeah dude! Was excited to see you on Levi's video.

Levi's a friend of mine - rad to see him hanging with all you NYC cats.

Btw - I'll be there for http://Laracon.us!

@akebrattberg Nice!

Finally, I tried @podcast_app.

Search rating: very good

Really friendly search UI.

Results: revealed ~30 matches when searching by topic (ordered newest to oldest)

@jonnastor @pjrvs nice! 👌

@tobi @Shopify I dig it! (Also appreciated this video about podcasting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqgCF7jdrzA)

I'd love to see @ShopifyStudios crosspost their video content to an audio podcast!

(Hosted on @TransistorFM of course. 😀🇨🇦)

@cderm Thanks!

@nloadholtes nice 😉

@freekmurze oh yeah! I meant to ask you...

Should I be worried about these warnings with packages? 😱

@shipstreams @laravelphp thanks for sharing it! 🎉

@thisoldapp @DonVanDemark i gotta listen to this one 👌

@mettleblue @TraderJMac @IndieHackers Glad it was helpful!

@gabe_g2i What's that screenshot from?

@TraderJMac Thanks! I wrote about it on @IndieHackers as well:
