Congrats on the 25th episode! I look forward to hearing you guys during the week on my Friday drive home! Enjoy the beer!
Brecht, let us know how the email campaign goes, I think it’s a great idea!

Thanks Nick and definitely will do!

the stickers ARE the way you can contribute $9 optionally to trello (check out the stickers FAQ… π )
Brecht Polombo says
So I’ve figured that out but it seems an odd monetization strategy, no? Talked about this with Scott and I suppose if you’re already successful enough that you don’t need to charge for a new product that’s great. But the sticker to me is really strange as an upsell. I love the app btw.
along the same lines I found this site helpful in understanding how best to use a kanban board http://www.personalkanban.com/pk/personal-kanban-101/

Liking the podcast, I’m getting into it π
You finished up recommending finding your dollar pages, the landing pages that make money.
Any tips for how you would do that for a multi-visit funnelly thing?
For example:
Landing Page -> Free Trial -> $$$
Brecht says
These emails are sending people to blog posts of mine that have the highest conversion values. Do you have goals setup in analytics? Feel free to email me about it brechtp over at G mail.
Rich says
Guys – you should sell kids sized t-shirts with “bootstrapped by dad” on them π
BTW Still loving the podcast, for someone flying solo like me it makes a big difference for me to listen to you guys each week.

Hey Rich,
Good idea, maybe we’ll blow out that section of our site into a full-fledge apparel store… π If we see your kid, we’ll buy him / her a milk!
Thanks for the nice words, and glad our experiences are useful and maybe even entertaining.
