People want smaller places with more genuine connections and more meaningful experiences online.

People want more crowded spaces to be able to buy, sell, promo, scam and broadcast all other messages for a possible network effect.

And both kinds of places are needed. You just have to figure out which one you’re building and why - for broadcasting or relations with your followers?

Crowdstack focuses on that smaller, more intimate approach that facilitates community relations, and in this episode, we mostly explore this take while bashing Facebook.

Run The World is just $149 instead of $429

This is an offer from partners, but the copy is mine.

I think that Run The World is a decent solution for virtual conferences and meetups, and I like the team behind it. I would build a virtual conference or a series of interactive meetups on it if I could not use Discord.

Weekly motivation

We ship same content in 3 different ways - video🎥, audio🎙️ and text📝 because

• it is convenient to subscribers since they have a choice

• it is faster for us than to focus on text only

• it makes us special and appeals to a broader audience

Writing an essay [short, concise, to the point, actionable] from the scratch for me is hard. But when I reflect over the recorded video - it is easy. To a point when creating and shipping a video + audio + text (like this👇) is faster than just text devrelevents.substack.com/p/audience-vs-…

Let me reiterate 😵

1. Creating these emails with a text summary, an audio podcast and a video recording is faster than writing and reviewing a nice article.

2. People can decide if they want to watch, listen or skip (for now) because there’s a text summary in the email.

3. Profit.

Lera and I will talk more about these 3 points and out content pipeline next Saturday on a podcast🎙️ that goes only to our paid subscribers.
