@chrisdietr Good point. I’m pulling them out very soon

@HassanO Thank you Hassan! Hopefully it gives you a nice overview of your tweets, which you can't get anywhere else :)

@digitaltrouble This looks epic Ben! Can't wait to see what you end up building. There's a ton of room in the creator tools space. It's yours for the taking

@kalenjordan OK I'll think about adding something for this. I've stayed away from comparing the two so far. ilo has *a lot* more data that Twitter's built-in analytics, and more flexible views to understand your data

@juhaliikala Kiva! We went to Rovaniemi. Took the kids to see Santa. They are half Finnish ☺️

@Julian Home 💙

@Julian Life in Mauritius is great! Nice and tropical. Feels very familiar. Hints of South Africa and Europe. Int’l shops and food. It’s just so far from home!

@noahwbragg @Mat_Sherman @mikaelcho @StuSim @arvidkahl @traf @yarobagriy @uxblake @jakobgreenfeld @consultantrhys @monicalent @digitaltrouble I was too late to draft him!

@Julian Hey Julian! Trying out some new marketing channels for ongloat.com Adding new metrics and analysis for ilo.so profiles (to start: sentiment, streaks) New Ghost themes (incl. one for “self-hosted Patreon”)

@danieleagee @iamdavidhill Ping me a DM!

@MeMikeIrvine @GoDaddy Dude you could have saved me $2.29!!

@yarobagriy @joinClubhouse Was fun to hop on and chat! More maker chats coming no doubt 😁

@linuz90 @mailbrew 👏 👏 👏

@suavelambi I let them expire. But it’s only happened twice maybe. I typically only buy when I actually use them.

@noahwbragg Namecheap have a sale on!

@karlclement @arvidkahl @ProductHunt I quite enjoy all the new TLDs but get told to use a sensible one 😄 Probably best to find a domain for your name with a more regular TLD. I’m happy with ilo.so but .so is expensive!

@iamrobmann Tech is very pricey here but there really isn’t a good way to get around it unless you’re already abroad

@digitaltrouble Great, if you’re paying it will be waaaaay cheaper! 😄

@iamrobmann Everything shipped in gets 15% slapped on it for import tax. So that’s £1,264 from the UK, which works out as even more expensive at $1,686

@theandreboso The big boy!

@theandreboso What are you on now?

@farez 2015!

@AndrewStartups I wish flights home were $600 😑

@pmchx Pros and cons! 😄

I’m on an 8 Plus and upgrading soon. Curious to see what the average upgrade cadence is.

@soheilpro @PostSheetHQ Is PostSheet a bad name?

@soheilpro @PostSheetHQ No

@HassanO ilo.so Better Twitter analytics. See your data in lots of charts. Know which tweets work. Drive new followers.

@mijustin Before 8am

@SaleheenKhan1 @IndieHackers I just made it up a few hours ago. A play on the word "polymath", for makers.

@tgel0 Yeh! Over 400 clicks so far 🤯

@phuctm97 Stand by for some beach fleets! 😄

@IndieHackers I’m a “polymaker” (just made it up), so all four at once 😄

@ThisIsYoann @Ghost This isn’t possible natively at the moment on Ghost. But remember that memberships features are still beta, so it may come in a future update

@HugoAmsellem Thanks Hugo!

@shahroozme @TermiusHQ @_Gloat On my todo list!

@jrleonr @ahmadajmi Yea the major part is knowing what template tags Ghost offers and how best to use them

@makermattevans @jrleonr @ahmadajmi Like this? udesly.com/webflow-to-gho…

@jrleonr @ahmadajmi Good idea! There is quite a lot to learn about Ghost and its template tags. I struggled at first to wrap my head around what’s possible. But you just have to design something and code it up 😄

@coreyhainesco Thanks Corey! (Loving the podcast btw)

@juhaliikala I had a bit of a spike over the weekend but I don’t know if it’s from the Ghost marketplace.

@BryceDavies8 The World Wide Web 😄

@joshuazeltman I cross promote on my other Ghost projects and have written a blog post about moving from Substack to Ghost, which got some good views.

@yarobagriy I’ve got one newsletter theme almost ready. The rest are more “blog”-like

@linuz90 When’s launch?

@SaleheenKhan1 @superpeer That’s great to hear! It’s a shame the most prominent payment tools are so limited in their global reach. I can’t use Stripe in Mauritius either and PayPal is quite tricky to get working (only one bank here allows deposits, with high fees)

@ambudge Amazing!

@Growthfyi In this case they’re offering 90% for the first 90 days then 70% thereafter

@linuz90 I was initially sceptical that Fleets would be a good addition to Twitter. But now I think it's a great way to show more to your followers and put out (and engaged with) more relaxed and chilled content

@MrSimonBennett I actually played around with them today. Very slick!

@Ryan___Doyle @gumroad Nice!

@manojthinks At the moment I am not taking on anything extra but I appreciate the ask

@thisiskp_ @truedrewco @letterdropio @MisterJHuffman Congrats guys. On to the next one!

@consultantrhys I went with Gumroad (for gum.co/substation-the…) because it's so easy to set up and start getting paid. I set up an HTML page (rdnthemes.com) and just added a link to the checkout. I've sold $1.8k and my fees have been $108.55.

@Leveraged_Life @jackbutcher @Deepuasok @linstobias @digitaltrouble @SankethYS @MakeThisButter Building is more fun for me. I’m not a marketer but I do love creating the messaging and designing marketing sites. But making something out of nothing (especially if it helps other people) beats that hands down

@AlexCartaz I use it all the time. I like the context switch and being able to Cmd+Tab to Twitter

@jmckinven @indiebitespod Now you have a bunch or longer recordings, it will be easier to package. If the time thing is an issue, just tell guests up front and they’ll be fine with it. Dude you could really make this work

@jmckinven @indiebitespod Not a clone. Surely you listen to more than one “two devs talking about their work” podcast? There are a good number, but they’re not clones. Yours is unique because it’s you

@praneethpike @jmckinven @indiebitespod Top podcast ✨

@sammmosaur @lukechesser They’re building a “reader” product right now, but only for Substack newsletters it seems

@100gefs Mailerlite is probably the best straight Mailchimp alternative

@jrleonr Why do you class it as a failure? It's still online and working?

@kyyjonssoni @JohnTounger It’s coming in v4 I think. Members are officially still a “beta”

@gtmcknight Thanks Taylor! It’s actually a bit of a hint of what the product will be 😁

Interesting to see what newsletter platforms you are all using! No stand-out winner, and 11 different platforms. Thank you! pic.twitter.com/4iFpI801fT

@besttechie 😇

@rarelyJeremy @NotionHQ @chilipepperio @NotionZapier Wow you like to explore tools 😄

@_robertodiaz_ A few, but not as many as I could have if there were more hours available 😄

@JohnTounger Separately or together?

@BenRavetta 👊

@jmckinven @RiversidedotFM What have you used previously? Looks good

@smclaren727 I know a good few marketers who could help. But $200 MRR doesn't go far in paying contractors

@marcin_chm I personally don't see Reddit as a "social network". It's far too vast and more of a big forum.

@AnTheMaker Would love to see it ☺️

@itsrgb @substack @Patreon This something that would have to be figured out. I guess the two that make sense are: - fees via their creators making money (Substack, Patreon) - paid premium features (it would have to be free by default to get the scale needed for a network product)

@smclaren727 I think the lack of affiliates is down to smaller products being side projects or small teams that may not have that as a priority

@smclaren727 Up to now, I've had small pointers from people in Twitter DMs, nothing major. Luckily, each project has scaled up at a decent rate without any major marketing. Obviously, there's a lot of room for improvement but as they don't *need* to make money, I can take it easy

@brunoraljic I hate those too! I was super careful to fine a rounded, friendly name, which I then took into the design

@mike_tempest The amount you can sell for increases as time goes on and you earn more revenue. So it's a win-win if you can ramp up growth and revenue early on. Even if you plan to sell, early growth is essential as potential future growth is imperative for someone to buy it.

@brunoraljic 🤩 ilo was quite hard to name. I was hoping for something short. From my shortlist, that domain stood out. twitter.com/dr/status/1288…

@justmakerthings This is the problem and exactly why we see things like shopping and ads in the first place. I’m not sure membership-based mass social media will ever happen either

@panphora I personally don’t like the idea of limits in a social space but I can see what you mean

@Mat_Sherman @fwdthinkingcity Luma is an amazing product for this. Glad you got on it!

@RyanKDang Yes, I’m always open to offers. DM?

@juhaliikala @Ghost The Ghost theme world is very underserved. The more the merrier!

@juhaliikala Me too; I hope people coming from that page will convert pretty well. As for blogging, I’m not sure what kind of thing is interesting. My updates here on Twitter serve as the best way to hear about my experiences

@iainbroome Mailgun has that data but it’s not currently passed into Ghost. I’ve heard it’s coming at some point, maybe in the next few months

@Growthfyi I have no idea! I’ll look after a few weeks to see how many visitors to Gumroad from that page convert

@chrishandyblog That is on your dashboard. I added the previous 30 days period in the email, just to give context for the day's numbers. The dashboard has the more detailed period comparisons: pic.twitter.com/bGunwn3kol

@chrishandyblog You mean against the previous day?

@Leveraged_Life I believe they are just calculated differently. I don't know how Twitter does it, but ilo shows you the total engagements of each day's tweets. The data is coming straight from Twitter, so it must just be slightly different ways of totalling

@nbashaw @saltresorts @jevinsew How do you know Jevin?! We met up before. Let me know when you get here 😄

@HarryBLucas Yep 😊 It’s lovely living here

@nbashaw A lovely little boutique hotel called SALT @saltresorts
