@ninjaparade i dig it

@tonycarreon @buildyoursaas @podhuntapp lol 🤣

@flynniest Yes. I’ve written about that before:

@AlchemistCamp @r00k @adamwathan I’m also able to gauge demand based on what prospective customers ask in our chat widget.

Markdown hardly ever comes up.

(Btw - I personally want markdown support!)

@tylertringas I’m using coffee as an example of good demand and usage on the consumer side.

(Not talking about the supply side; which is also important, but I’ll discuss later)

“Coffee is Canada’s most consumed beverage amongst adults – even more than tap water.”

@tylertringas Good point.

“Usage” still works in the sense that I we’re still using the hosting, zaps, monitoring.

If I never set up any zaps though, I’ll cancel my Zapier account. (Or, If zaps are no longer important to me)

@anthonygawonlee @buildyoursaas @jonbuda Sweet.

Here’s a preview of our latest episode:

@wesbos Sorry, you mean Disney and Apple TV won't be good in Canada?

@samilkarahisar Dang. You can help by marking it as "not spam."

I'll check my verified domain settings in @ConvertKit.

@eXorus Thank you! 🙌

@knrz_ @studiofellow Sweet! 👌

"I was hoping to learn something new, that I hadn't heard before," is worth noting.

Our brains are always seeking out new, novel forms of information. If it feels old, humdrum, or cliché we write it off (and won't share it).

Repacking old material won't work.

@cristian_nebunu Yeah, this applies mostly to non-fiction.

One interesting finding: “shareable” books all have…

@kwuchu Are they really crowded?

@theleviallen LOOKS INCREDIBLE!

@harisenbon79 @r00k @artofproductpod @megamaker I talked a bit about the evolution here (at 5:04):

https://overcast.fm/+F110hCCnQ/5:04

@harisenbon79 @r00k @artofproductpod @megamaker First, it was $10/month.
Then, it was $19/month.
Then, it was $199/year.

We switched to yearly because it takes a long time for folks to benefit from a community.

We switched to lifetime access because folks started to dread the recurring annual payments.

@ER Use http://Transistor.fm 😉

RT @adamd: Best landing page I’ve seen all week.

@phpdreams I'm confused.

Why would you stop following me even if I did support a certain party politically?

You're saying because I lean ideologically to the left, all my writing is "misguided?"

@phpdreams I haven't picked a side. These are just results from that quiz website. 😉

RT @mijustin: Two truths:

1. Everything takes time.

2. Not everything is worth your time.

@paulbellows 🎉 happy birthday!

@tonydehnke Yup, there are a number of factors that affect demand:
- timing
- culture
- weather
- etc

But...

If you have a lemonade stand, it’s still better for you to go somewhere hot, where there are a lot of thirsty people. 😉

RT @fredrivett: I love how @mijustin distils down key truths into simple sentences like this

great stuff as always 👏🏼

@joshwadeFM @RecapFM Yup! Did you read my newsletter this morning? I talk about this same thing (but from a biz perspective).

@KateBour @bbalfour Agreed!

@clemnt That's part of my point: it's OK if there are other ice cream stands on the beach!

@mattwensing So you think oil companies would be a good niche for bootstrappers to sell to? (honest question)

@mattwensing Ok. So if I understand you correctly, you're saying that:

WTP > size of market?

When does the size of the market become a factor? How does it factor in?

@mattwensing So do you agree with April here, or disagree?

https://twitter.com/aprildunford/status/1167538777457385472

@tenlinesofcode @mattwensing The whole point of a metaphor is that it's not literal. 😉

It's an abstract, symbolic representation of a bigger idea.

@mattwensing Ok. ConvertKit then. 😉

Nathan started an email marketing company in 2013. Wasn't that product category already commoditized by that point?

I'm primarily talking about the category. Is the category growing? Is the category already naturally drawing customers?

@mattwensing @aprildunford @asmartbear Jason started selling WordPress hosting in 2010.

Wasn't that already a large, commodity market?

He didn't invent the category (or even close to being first).

To me, it seems he competed on what people cared about: security, service, and uptime.

@ShaanVP This looks so good. 👍

@CLCmusic I think, especially when you consider LTV, there’s a tipping point where a low-priced “no brainer” makes sense.

When customers are evaluating an ongoing subscription, there’s an upper-limit of what they’ll pay.

@CLCmusic Tell me more.

@studiofellow @mod_dot Nice! 👍
