@arunpariyar When we collaborate on the things that matter, anything is possible. Thanks Arun!
Congrats on the launch @leo. I absolutely love the concept of Feather CRM and it's been a pleasure to watch it come together in public!
@sven_radavics Thanks Sven! It's been really fun to build on Twitter. There's such a great community there!
Congrats on the launch, Leo 🤩 this is what we need to track and sort relationships vs going after vanity metrics like following
@anab Thanks so much Ana! Social media definitely doesn't provide much beyond vanity metrics unfortunately. But if you know who in your network cares about the stuff you care about, you can achieve outsized results. Really appreciate all of your support!
This product is the result of a long journey. It started with a blog post that went viral for all the wrong reasons. That led me to quit social media for a few months as I tried to understand the forces at play.
I ended up leaving my job to pursue my first startup, which failed because I had no clue what it meant to build a product from scratch, much less a company. As I fumbled around trying to figure out what I was doing, I realized that I was trying to rely too heavily on Twitter, but I couldn't predict my growth, everything that I thought should work didn't, and I just had a really rough time of everything.
Then I started building Feather because I noticed a need for a CRM on Twitter. I started building a more traditional CRM, but then I realized quickly that there was an opportunity for something different, something that could make using Twitter a lot easier, a lot more rewarding, and a lot more predictable, and that's when Feather really came to be what it is today.
The main goal of Feather is to help you build stronger relationships by giving you a way to more easily focus on people. That's done via subscriptions. You can subscribe to 1 or more people on either a weekly or daily cadence, ensuring that you keep up to date with them. One of the insights I had was that I was missing about 80% of the tweets from the people I wanted to build a strong relationship with. And this is healthier than turning on the notification bell.
The second goal of Feather is to let you build a media platform from the people around you. This is a cooperative approach to social media, allowing you to inform the people close to you about which tweets are important and need amplified, and doing so in a way that focuses their attention on your message.
These two main features are the result of studying many different types of Twitter accounts and strategies. They have really helped me meet some incredible people on Twitter and completely change my trajectory.
The tools are free to use. The paid part of the app includes the analytics that track how much boost your amplified tweets get. You also get a premium subscription to my blog, How To Scale Yourself, which will give you tips on how to really maximize the value of your social networks.
I hope it makes your Twitter experience easier and more enjoyable the way it did mine!
@leo_guinan the goals you outlined are beautiful and a very healthy approach to growing an audience while nourishing from the relationship with people around.
@krisdhar Thanks Krish! It's honestly changed the way I approached Twitter and my experience is 10x better for it.
i'm stoked at this distinction between social & media as Leo puts it. in this ultra connected world, i'm struggling to follow up on & build the relationships that matter to me and vice versa.
so i'm betting on feather to help me know & grow my network in a way that's mutually beneficial to everyone in it ♥️🔥 after all your network is your networth
If you want to hear me talk about Feather and my passion behind it, I recorded a Twitter Space and got into a lot of the thoughts driving me. https://twitter.com/reddy2go/sta...
Taking away the noise of social networks to focus on the social part. Very smart product, @leo_guinan!
Absolutely love the concept of Feather and am so excited to use it for my products and for my client's launches. SM needs a community upgrade, and this is so it!
Congrats @leo_guinan!
@sophia_o_neal Thanks so much Sophia! Can't wait to see what you and your clients can achieve with it. I know it will be impossible to ignore! :)
I've so enjoyed watching you build this on Twitter. It's such a helpful tool! Wishing you all the best!
I love how often you engage with your clients for feedback to help inform the evolution of the product. Glad to be along for the journey!
@diana_sfera Yes, there are some paid features. Right now, there are 2 paid options. the first is $5/month and includes access to an analytics dashboard that provides insights into how effective your boosts are. You also get a premium subscription to my blog https://howtoscaleyourself.com. There's also a community tier for $10/month, which will give you tools to turn your community into a media outlet and amplify the voices of members in your community (that feature is launching next week)
A tactical and deliberate approach to network building, saving time being strategic instead of scattershot. Well designed easy to use. Kudos Leo!
It's a great tool. Congratulations to the team on the launch . Glad to see it!
Building relationships and network is an important part of how things are done nowadays. Nice.
@basharath Thanks Basharath! Let me know if you've got any questions. Happy to answer them!
