@brianokken lol. Thanks.

I think what you meant was:

“I’m not a metal fan…. yet.” 😉🤘

@pjrvs the rest of that video is a hidden easter egg. ;)

@thechaz one idea off the top of my head:

Volunteer to speak at your local Rotary or Chamber of Commerce about “the coming VR revolution.”

My sites on @wpengine (including justinjackson.ca) are currently down. Hoping they'll be back up shortly.

@thechaz do you see any immediate VR opportunities you could take advantage of career wise?
Sounds like you’ve been in the scene for awhile!

@Shpigford agreed. “Than ever” is just me saying “businesses have always been hard.”

I’m just talking out loud trying to figure shit out ;)

I'm not saying you shouldn't build a SaaS in 2016. You might win!

I'm just wondering if you have a better chance of winning somewhere else.

.@Todd_Pritts yes! Challenge with those big meaty issues = they need lots of $ to work. Difficult to bootstrap. Harder to make profitable.

Example: MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, Drip, ConvertKit are all successful SaaS

All target a really unpleasant problem: mass email delivery.

@nbashaw also: there's always been a discrepancy between what people *say* they want, and what they *actually* do.

@gonsanchezs yes! (Although, Google was able to disrupt many Excel users by offering their tool for free).

.@clayhebert true, but when I first saw Boosted Boards I said:

"Those look ridiculous."

But when I saw Neistat riding it, I wanted one.

"Hover boards" are a counter example:

- no mission
- simple engineering
- spread via Vine
- good timing

Every 13 year-old wanted one.

Alright, in about 5 minutes I'm going to try doing a "MegaMaker Live." Never tried this before, here we go:

.@JoshDoody @delk I think it has more to do with the bandwagon effect, better known as:

"Where's the party at?"

@bcassano yup. Amazon keeps a huge % of royalties. For an indie maker like me, most of my sales are going to come from my audience.

@LukasThoms Karp definitely has a lot of money. I'd probably take that deal too. 😉

Judging from Yahoo's acquisition record (Tumblr, Summly) I'd say the only way you can truly predict startup success is: Are they profitable?

@espitia7 Casey Neistat was a huge advantage. They had an interesting idea with the “no look” recording.
