@mattantwest @Wildbit Omg. So much. Are we talking about on a company level?

How does our AWS hosting impact our carbon footprint?

Let’s Encrypt?

All the sending and receiving bandwidth we use?

@ProductHunt @alexisohanian 🙌

@developerjack @TransistorFM There @Kayako

@tomblocke @nomadicmatt Hahaha. Yeah, I’ve got 4 kids. I’m way over my limit.

@patrickbjohnson To me, Webflow is just an extension of what’s been happening for years with WordPress, Dreamweaver, Adobe Flash, Geocities, etc

@tomblocke @nomadicmatt Nice. I’m digging the in-depth personal research!

One thing I didn’t see him mention is that, in terms of personal carbon footprint, flying is actually 3rd biggest on that list.

@logannickleson Yes! I need to understand what all this stuff does. Gonna watch some YouTube clips later. 😜

@thejonotron https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/loopy-hd-looper/id467923185

Still don’t know what I’m doing.

@patrickbjohnson @nbashaw Yes, that's a big part of it.

But, in some markets what should be the "main thing" (the CMS) actually ends up being subverted by something else (hosting). People might not pay for the CMS (WordPress) but will pay for the hosting.

@evangoldin but seriously, you look cute in a helmet

@einarvollset Yes! A big part of this has to do with the size and momentum of the market.

@einarvollset No, I think you’re misunderstanding me.

Every category has a “main thing,” as well as tangential “add-ons.”

The challenge with add-ons: not everyone wants them. For example: “commenting platform for podcasts.”

But, every podcast needs hosting (the main thing).

@jackyalcine 😂

I suppose this metaphor breaks down eventually.

The point is to focus on the “main dish” as opposed to the ancillary dishes.

@spencerowland Lol. Good point.

Well...

If you open a dessert spot, the dessert IS the entree. 😉

@jitbit THIS IS MARKETING 😜

@avclark In my experience, dynamic ads eventually lead to this, because the tech is designed to treat ads like “inventory.”

The creative element isn’t considered.

The dynamic ads aren’t smart enough to consider the context surrounding the ad spot.

@cgenco I dig it!

@michaeldyrynda Haha. What do you mean?

@MatthewBogart 🙌

@GunnarSvalander Thanks!

@mnlfrgr I’d love to see some studies on this.

My gut instinct is that most coffee shop owners search “email marketing” or “email newsletter” see MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, Campaigner, and just sign up for that.

The top 3 links (or ads) get most of the traffic (and most of the sales)

@bgardner Love it. Thank you!

@bgardner ❤️

@DailyTekk @TransistorFM That looks like an AWS error. I’ll look and see if there’s something going on on their side too

@hopsoft So true.

@GregorySchier Did you update the “published” date as well?

@_AlexGaribay @ScreenFlow Yes. That too! ☝️

@DustinLeblanc Lol. @pjrvs got that guy to do a video for me:

@theandreboso Yup!

@Jessica_B365 Nice! Is this for Cardsetter?

@tmaremaa That’s exactly what I’m saying. (Having a “general product” that can serve different niche markets)

@dohertyjf @paidinsights Can you give me a few more examples where this is true? (Beyond "SEO for..." queries?)

Genuinely curious. (And happy to be proven completely wrong!)

@dohertyjf @paidinsights Yeah. I wonder how much of ConvertKit's revenue comes directly from SEO. 🤔

Most of their revenue is from affiliates I believe.

@dohertyjf @paidinsights Results may vary by industry and product category, but I’m still unsure if this trend fits most “niche” keywords.

I know the SEO industry loves the long tail, but…. I’m still skeptical. 😜

I’d have to see the data.

@billyevans Does this really happen in practice?

(I could be wrong)

What I see in practice:
1. Searches for “email mairketing”
2. Clicks on top 1-3 results
3. Makes a decision based on those

@andymci Practically, I don’t see this happening.

(I could be wrong)

What I see in practice:
1. Searches for “email mairketing”
2. Picks top 1-3 results
3. Makes a decision based on those

@theandreboso That’s not what I’m saying.

@dohertyjf What % (or $) of “email marketing for bloggers” or “email marketing for creators” do you think actually convert?

My guess is it’s low.

“SEO for…” might be another exception.

@nuclearsquid Oh sweet. Does it give readouts like this?

@anthonystauffer Lol.

RT @mijustin: Everything you implement will need to be maintained.

However, if you have a different mic you DO keep it the other way.

@damcclean Does it support @Printful!?!? 🙏

@themunson I think retail, and independent "small" retail, in particular, are just overly complex businesses for their scale. Many variables with little margin for error.

Jeff Harbaugh's been covering this complexity for a long time:

@LucysBlueDay @TransistorFM Didn’t notice any issues on our end! Can you access it yet on your side?

@JackEllis You’ve finally achieved ProPodcaster™ status. 😎

@jimmybranch Fluffy

@mattantwest @pjrvs @natalienagele @studiofellow 👍 What do you think we can do to petition AWS/DO to release this kind of info?

Is it worth organizing a campaign to do that?

@jaredkessler @pjrvs @studiofellow Yup, that’s part of the solution.

But climate change is an “all hands on deck” situation.

We need every individual, corporation, govt to be taking action.

Often, government/corp policy follows a massive grassroots movement.
