@davecraige @jack thanks for showing up! 🙌

@arminulrich I just did this! I'm live now: https://www.twitch.tv/megajustin 😊

@r00k Anything in there that would be useful to a new dev like me?

@arminulrich hey, how frequently do these stats update? I streamed earlier today, and it's still showing this stream from Oct 15.

@Beryllium9 @JamesClear Yeah, don't focus too much on the example (Amazon vs book store).

It's more around the idea that we're buying "an expectation of something being good."

The same is true for ordering food at a restaurant.

We're ordering based on our expectation of how good the food will be.

@DanielleMorrill @mbesto Sweet. Were you fully bootstrapped?

(Also, I'm curious [as someone's who's bootstrapping a new SaaS], how long before you hit sustainable revenue? That's what keeps me up at night.)

@mbesto @polotek @kocsmy @dohertyjf @tylertringas Also, content oriented startups, like Product Hunt, Mattermark, Indie Hackers, are almost always acquired early-on because the business model is hard to scale.

@mbesto @polotek @kocsmy @dohertyjf @tylertringas Mike, I agree with you that it's possible for a few companies, mostly media oriented, to start as Excel sheets, mailing lists, ect. (http://getlatka.com is another example)

But starting a true SaaS that way (and getting it to scale while bootstrapped) is rare.

RT @Urre: Great newsletter from ⁦@mijustin⁩. Recommended! https://justinjackson.ca/newsletter/

@mbesto @dohertyjf @tylertringas I'd love some examples!

I can't think of many (especially 40+!) who have bootstrapped a profitable SaaS only from customer revenues and hit enough revenue right away to live off it. Even in a 6-12 month window.

(I know quite a few folks that aren't in the limelight too)

@dohertyjf @mbesto @tylertringas With that in mind, most folks are going to have to look at other options (consulting, VC, rich family, etc...).

Being 100% bootstrapped (only using money from customers) isn't realistic in most cases. (Even for "boostrapped heroes" like Basecamp).

@MattGiovanisci For me, I get a lot of folks signing up for my newsletter who say:

“I signed up because I like your tweets.”

So Twitter, for me, feels worth it.

@MattGiovanisci It really depends.

For example, @adamwathan does a lot of his “marketing” on Twitter. His audience follows him for programming tips, announcements, etc. It’s a great place for him to earn his audience’s trust.

@Shpigford you can’t win!
