Going to create a YouTube channel documenting the various things I make.

What should I name it? Should I use something existing or start from scratch?
As a follow up, there’s a decent chance it wouldn’t just be me on the channel. Could also be others in my family or maybe even friends as well.
Some ideas for something new...
Which of these do you like for a show/site/publication/whatever about making things? (all sorts of things...woodworking, 3D printing, electronics, metalwork...all around making)

Or...something else?
Another round, because clearly I'm incapable of naming things alone.

Was looking into a way to let you @-mention @lasertweets in response to a tweet and have it auto-generate the URL for you...but everything I'm reading says that's against Twitter TOS.
I *think* I'd have to build a whole system where you have to grant permission to a "Laser Tweets" app, and then monitor your account for "@lasertweets" mentions from you and then basically DM you the URL.
Regardless, it's wayyyy more hassle than I imagined it'd be.

This almost feels like something where there some be a hosted service that already handles most of this.

I tried Zapier, but no go (thanks to the Twitter TOS).

1/ Understanding why customers cancel may be one of the most frustrating parts of building a company.

Asking users during the cancellation process why they're cancelling can be really useful, but data is only as useful as the action you take on it.
2/ Lots of SaaS companies have a simple form on their cancellation page that asks the users why they're cancelling...but almost nobody does anything with the data.

It may get piped in to a spreadsheet somewhere or sent to someone's inbox, but then it just fades away.
3/ In addition, even if you're collecting reasons, knowing which reasons to pay attention to is many times nearly impossible.

Sure, maybe most people are cancelling b/c "It's too expensive", but is that actually who's causing the most lost revenue?

For nearly 5 years Baremetrics has relied almost exclusively on a single channel for growth: content marketing. It was a natural outpouring of us targeting "founders". It was easy and in the early days, it worked well, bringing us to where we are today.
But these aren't early days anymore. We're a profitable, five year old company doing over $1M in revenue. We're "old" in startup years and intend to get even older. While we're not a brand new company anymore, our growth methodologies and systems are still in their infancy.

***Why DMs are the KEY to Twitter***

Are you struggling to grow your Twitter following (like I was for months)?

Then you'll want to read this thread a few times before you click RT...

Here's why networking in the DMs is so important for ANYONE on social media
1. Today's primary currency is information

If you haven't realized this yet, the currency of the digital world is the exchanging of ideas, good or bad, it doesn't matter

Yes, we use monetary currency to do this, but it's more than that

More...
The key to success and networking online is generosity

But, I say this with a word of warning

Pick and choose your generosity carefully

Don't become a freebie whore, giving away all of your knowledge for free

(2/4)
I'm going to be making this video soon, and essentially this video is going to explain a lot of my "mistakes" even though I don't view them as mistakes, I view them as me being less of a #YOUTUBER" and more of educator/businessman

(THREAD) Imagine walking into school - #FirstDaysofSchool. The most significant thing that anyone wants is to know that they belong, feel included, cared for, to feel significant, to know that they matter. As educators, families give us their greatest trust each day #MoralPurpose
From the moment students "step" onto school grounds, everything they see, hear, feel and experience gives them a message about whether they are valued, they matter, if this is a safe place to be in, grow, take risks, challenge, create, to LEARN. #3rdTeacher #GlobalCompetencies
We know that in order for Ss to learn, they must feel safe & included. Neuroscience helps us to understand that when ANY one feels unsafe, theyre not able to learn, engage in complex thinking. Solid #assessment is important & necessary, but without feeling safe, its not effective

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)
