Why does SEO matter for software companies?

(Just added this as a category inside of http://tinymarketingwins.com)

@gearoidorourke Love this. I think @balsamiq should add these shirts to their online store. ;)

Some companies *are* profitable “on day one” but lose money every day after that. 😂

These folks use your API too:

Founders, salespeople, marketers, customer reps, product managers

Twitter's a cool tool. But it hasn't yet proven it's a good business.

It's really true.

The most interesting thing about Kickstarter (for me) is the email notifications about what your friends are backing.

Crazy network effect.

There's only one way to find a good product idea: observe real people, and recognize the real struggles they face.

Insane. Trello acquired for $425 million (5 years old).

If you haven't heard it, this interview with @adamwathan is really good. https://overcast.fm/+Gy_PheAOw

@noahkagan yup!

I've got a blog post brewing around @kevin2kelly's "1,000 true fans" concept.

How many of you have seen "1,000 true fans" work?

Dynamic content FTW!

Just made a sale using @logichop + @ConvertKit to show personalized messages to visitors. 👍

My favorite movie of the year is on Netflix. https://www.netflix.com/title/80096995?s=i

If I ask you: "is there existing demand for the progress your product provides?"

And you say: "no, it's totally new!"

That's a bad sign.

This @garyvee clip also applies to product development:

"Folks only want yellow socks, but I like green!"

6. Another example: my friend @adamwathan creates courses for PHP devs.

His potential market size is > someone who focuses on Python devs.

Are you ready to take a leap forward in your design career?

Want to speak at a conference? Start small: give a talk at a meetup.

Want to write a book? Start small: write an essay.

This is true whether you're applying for a job, or starting your own business:

Last night, I was finally able to sit down and synthesize my thoughts.

Still pretty raw. But here they are:

https://justinjackson.ca/progress/

“Make better stuff” means “give people a better life.”

Test your values.

Look at them critically.

Examine them from multiple sides.

(We self-rationalize more than we know)

As someone who lives right next door, I hope you don't vote for the candidate who ♥️ Putin, and 👏 the 🇨🇳 response to Tiananmen Square.

If you have older kids (10+) and don't mind a bit of swearing, I highly recommend "Hunt for the Wilderpeople"

This past year I went independent, largely by sharing (and selling) my expertise.

You can too: https://justinjackson.withcoach.com/create-your-own-course

If all you know about your customers is that they click orange buttons more often than green buttons that's pretty sad.

Call them. Listen.

MacBook Pro is used mostly by professionals (devs, designers, editors).

For many of these folks, a platform change is a big deal.

Also: this for developers.

Think about pro audio tools, video editing, design tools…
