Oddly, I still see the old style (a box with url + title) on my main feed.

From a click-through perspective, this design is clearly better.

@rmcastil @wafrisorg Love this idea!

@fekdaoui Yup.

@fekdaoui Never!

@knorrium I archived all of the original episodes.

@sheherenow_ 100%

Bruce’s voice sounded great. Everyone had tons of energy. So good.

@johnrudolphdrex I haven’t personally done a lot of FB ads!

@AmandaMGoetz I just signed up!

Looking forward to next week’s issue.

@chasewreeves Yup. It’s so good.

Dad soul food.

@startupvernon I'll be there! 🙌

@jasonfried @PodcastIndNews @elevenlabsio What's the name/URL of the podcast? I can't seem to find it.

@JoelKlettke @PodcastIndNews Wild, eh?

@jasonfried @PodcastIndNews The tone, the pauses, the cadence - it's pretty wild.

I'm still unsure if I would actively seek out a show like this, though - especially if the content was purely generated by GPT.

Also, I'm wondering if this @elevenlabsio output could scale to an episode 30-60 minutes long?

@heyjoshwood Yessssss 💯

@mattmedeiros @johnspurlock @TransistorFM 👍

@jivestreams A few things.

On the content creation side:
Figuring out a sustainable content creation flow, recording video first --> audio podcast --> blog style writing.

On the podcast marketing side:

@levelsio Haha. That’s probably true!

@emmetgibney It's not a perfect metaphor, but it covers a lot of channels!

Some channels might sit more in the middle. For example, affiliates have elements of the "slot machine," but (in my experience) are more like a snowball that picks up steam.

@CasJam Yes! 🙌

This is a good process: "Plan for a "campaign lifecycle" for each channel, which lasts a few months, includes review, iteration, and relaunch."

Also, as much as possible, it's worth investing in "snowball channels" vs "slot machine channels."

Snowball channels

@bdougieYO Thank you!

@EddyVinckk @marketingdevs Sweet! I'll dm you.

@bradsimantel Thanks! I agree. The trailer is super fun.

@Peasquared Thank you! 🙌

@jackmcdade @marketingdevs Yes! That's good feedback.

@JudoHacker @TransistorFM 🏆 congrats!

@mbuckbee Feels like there are plenty marketing/sales examples from smaller indie companies? 🤔

Lots of us doing it without multi-million dollar campaigns!

@joe_ashwell I’m walking up!

@ianlandsman Once. 😆

You know, downloadable software you pay for once.

@Rockwood_XRay People were already searching for accommodation (hotels, BnBs, rentals), so… yes.

@adamwathan @r00k Thank you! 🙌

@abhiondemand 💯 this.

In my 20s, I started a few businesses that didn’t give me a better life: every month we wouldn’t be any further ahead.

Generally, every time you start a small business you’re making a bet. The payoff should be a better life for you and your family. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1638562016536453120

@TransistorFM I’m listening to the Costco episode right now! 🙌

Produce and distribute your product at a cost that generates good margins:

You might be in a great market with a strong product, but you don't have a business if you can't build, maintain, and promote that product profitably.

Distribution costs are particularly important.

Identify a good market (category, audience, industry, niche)

A "market" is really the sum of customer behavior in a category:

- Number of potential customers
- How much they spend
- The frequency at which they buy
- Their willingness to pay
- The forces that affect demand

@Lithium_Wave @GoneFishinFinl @ramit In time, when interest rates go down (and the central banks in North America very much want rates to go down) prices will increase.

@coreyhainesco @BillDA +1 this is the way

@DevaniAlkarim @546arch Just listened: I so identify with your principles, values, and observations around social isolation.

Please come build homes in the Okanagan! 🙏

@DevaniAlkarim @546arch Looks awesome!

I just discovered your work. I’ve got this podcast episode queued up for my drive back to Vernon, BC. 👍

@cathrynlavery @ramit Love this! ❤️❤️❤️

I’d love to do something similar.

Hey @PodcastMovement friends:

I just got a shipment of @TransistorFM’s famous “Skullcaster” t-shirt.

If you’d like one, let me know!

I have Pink shirts in XS-Large

and Black shirts in Small-2XL

@jonbuda @TransistorFM @joshuaanderton On the way to registration, we spotted @JamesCridland making the magic happen for the next edition of @Podnews. 👍

After that, @jonbuda and I went back to the hotel and met our newest @TransistorFM teammate, @joshuaanderton, for the first time in person! 🎉🎉🎉

@theleviallen 🎯

@thejonotron @startupvernon Honestly, my job to be done was “just show me where the evacuation zones are right now in an updated map.”

It feels like when I’m looking for info, there’s pressure to find the resource that’s going to give it to me fast. (Especially when I’m stressed).

@thejonotron @startupvernon Mostly it’s better than the BC Wildfire app for showing those zones.

This is the best map I’ve found that displays current evacuation alerts and orders for BC wildfires.

@motdotla How is it better?

@richeklein @jackmcdade Yup.

@adamwathan Whoooooooooo!!!!

Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@dgrcode @csallen I have yet to see an 𝕏 in the wild (website footer, ad, decals on a store)

I’ve got a few DMs from folks. 👍

If you want to meet up let me know!
