I have some growth hacking experience, but these days, I’m mostly in sales. Recently, my boss asked me to come up with ideas for a white paper, which got me thinking—does anyone still write white papers now that AI is everywhere?

Back at my old job, we used to write them, and they were super effective but also time-consuming.

If you still write them, how do you go about it? What format do you use?

If you just generate them with AI, what tool do you use, and how well does it work?

For context, I’m in software components.

Getting users is proving difficult.....

I just wanted to take a moment to express how thankful I am for finding this incredible community.

Back in June of 2024, my website went through a serious struggle.

My rankings took a sharp dive, and I couldn't figure out what went wrong.

After months of digging through posts, asking questions, and getting my fair share of tough love...

I’m happy to say I've reached a new peak in terms of impressions (even if it’s just one metric)!

All thanks to the knowledge I’ve gained here.

Let’s keep pushing forward!

Everyone has the liberty of making use of their time really well.

Attention scarcity also has been a boon in certain ways, as digital products will also now fight it out to make the best app available for their audience.

In the advent of so many apps and solutions on each nook and corner of the internet. You are hardly going to succeed without a community that backs your creation, a distribution method which is honest, a customer interest shown because of the intent of the product.

Since we have now established the fact that quality has become the main contender, most of the apps and utilities in digital world, are the ones which also makes an impact, and gets you out of your way to try it out and make an effort to stay with it for a while.

So really kudos to every Growth hacker who makes this happen, finds different strategies and makes it happen.

We have been trying to make our way into the busy micro learning space, providing micro utilities for creators/nerds/enthusiasts of books and podcast to consume, learn, share and distribute well, with our app called Remy.

Let’s grow together! 💡

For my current validation plan, I'm giving myself a hard deadline of ~1 month (Feb 20th) to accomplish the following:

• 1,000 downloads
• 40%+ use the extension for more than 1 job applying session
• 20%+ use the extension for more than 7 job applying sessions
• Avg 5+ applications submitted per active user

These are focused on proving the product provides real value and users want to incorporate it into their job searching routine.

Plan to accomplish this:

• Hope to be able to get majority of traffic from a subreddit I have been growing in the job applying space r/jobhopping
• Build in public on X and tiktok (if ban gets delayed)
• Reddit commenting in other subreddits

My concerns:

• This is definitely the most bare bones project I've ever released, it's usable and when it works it really works quite well, but there are some pretty big bugs
• The current state requires no login, and no payment info, just a resume. This requires the user to provide their own OpenAI api key. I think for some this is a plus but for most this will be a deal-breaker from trying the product.
• Metric numbers are completely pulled out of my ass, I believe they are ambitious and make sense in terms of proving value, but I'm not sure what numbers I should really be striving for.
  • What I believe is much more likely is the numbers will be heavily skewed towards the top 5% of users, the power users will account for over 50% of the volume. I think at the end of the validation phase my numbers will fall short but this skew will be present, so what really proves validation? Should I disregard the volume of users and focus on the top 50 users?

Bigger picture:

This next month phase is purely focused on talking with users and proving there is a desirable value prop here. If I can prove people want this I'm planning to build a true v1 of the product. Before money I'd really like to just be able to build a small group of people that genuinely find the product useful and are daily active users. If I can get that they'll be my group to start testing revenue models.

Feedback:

If you read this far thank you!! I'm looking for any and all feedback, whether it's additional marketing ideas, better kpis, or issues in the overall strategy I'd really love to hear it!

Surprises me so many founders I talk to don’t know how to define Aha moment of their products. Just talk to your users and validate with data.

If users say we love feature X in your product, then compare retention rates of those using feature X with those who do not. If there is a significant delta, you have your Aha moment. If not, then dig deeper into why you think user would have said X. Maybe it wasn’t that feature but the value that it provided that clicked with them and that value is coming from other areas in the app too.

What is your thought on this? What’s the right timing to build momentum and a list?

What has been your tried and true rock when it comes to growth for 2025 and beyond.

Does anyone know this hack already? I'm new here. But this is pretty crazy to me.

Basically, we all probably know what it's like buying a new domain and creating a new website - it's an absolute grind trying to get any sort of domain authority unless you can backlink yourself from previously successful projects yada yada, etc.

Well, I accidentally discovered a different tactic to promote my website EasyStartupIdeas[.com]... Even though I thought the domain was great (and is typically what someone would type into Google if searching for that content), there's no shot I can compete with the other companies and media organizations ranking for that keyword.

Anyway, cutting to the chase now 👉 use Medium. I feel like people have got to know this already. If so, I apologize for stating the obvious.

But basically I took to my Medium account that I rarely use these days and wrote a simple post titled "A Tale of Two Newsletters." When I type that title into Google, my article comes up as the #1 result - literally within an hour or two of posting.

I'm not sure the age of your Medium account has anything to do with it, but for reference my Medium profile is maybe 8 months old and I have a free account, not paid.

It's more likely that I'm just piggybacking off Medium's epic domain authority. Google seems to especially promote Medium articles over a LOT of other blogging platforms - similar to how it boosts a lot of Reddit posts in the search results.

After I noticed this, I tried again - but was even more egregious.

I created an article called "What is Easy Startup Ideas?" and even had ChatGPT write the whole thing just as an experiment to see if it would get by Google's filters - it did.

While searching the exact title doesn't immediately surface this new article, searching "startup ideas newsletter" still shows it as a result on the 1st page of Google! Crazy! I made it like 12 hours ago lol.

Anyway, the only advice I can think to give here is the following:

• Before hitting publish on your Medium article make sure you go to advanced settings to add relevant topics to your post. Also edit the default SEO title, meta description, and URL slug to something that is SEO friendly.
• This whole thing will work better if you don't choose a title that is hyper competitive. The more niche, the better. But still try to stick with something your target audience might actually enter into Google.
• The content of your post should use the keywords you're trying to rank for as much as possible.

Now, I basically know I can write Medium articles that will direct people to my website instead of grinding my ass off writing a million blog posts on my website that just won't rank anywhere near the first page - I'll still do this btw but not to the same extent.

Having an adjacent, super-high-ranking stepping stone that points to my website, is good enough for me for now.

Hope this was insightful ✌️

Hi everyone,

We’re a B2B startup preparing for an upcoming conference. We’ll have a booth and a small team around it. Since this is our first time having a presence at such an event, I’d love to hear your advice and experiences.

Specifically, I’m interested in:

1. Attracting Attention: What creative ways draw people to your booth? Have you found any specific strategies that work best for smaller teams?
2. Connecting with Visitors: What’s the best way to turn casual visitors into meaningful connections?
3. Promo Materials: What types of promotional materials stand out and don’t end up in the trash? Any specific swag ideas that worked well for you?
4. Interactive Elements: Have you tried things like quizzes, games, or live demos? Do they work to keep people engaged, or do they feel like too much?

I’d really appreciate any tips, personal stories, or even things to avoid. Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom! 😊

I've been studying Perplexity's growth strategy, and their approach to user activation is fascinating. They've built a clever engine that converts users through what I call the "Power User Experience" funnel. Here's the complete breakdown:

The Core Strategy: 3-Search Activation

• Users get 3 pro-level AI searches per day without signing up
• After analyzing their metrics, their Head of Growth revealed this is their key activation metric
• Why 3? It's just enough for users to experience the power of AI search, but creates a natural limitation that drives conversion

Key Activation Numbers:

• Grew to 90M+ monthly visits
• Processing 400M searches monthly (up from 250M in July 2024)
• Achieved $9B valuation

The Three-Stage Activation Engine:

1. Instant Value Delivery:

• Zero-friction entry: No signup required to start searching
• Dynamic query suggestions: Remove "blank page paralysis"
• Trending topics integration: Ensures relevant, engaging first-time searches
• Platform-specific UX: Different experiences for web vs mobile

1. Smart Conversion Triggers:

• Web (Desktop): Half-screen prompt after 3 searches, full-screen by search #5
• Mobile Web: Full-screen after 3 searches
• Mobile App: No prompts (they found better natural conversion)

1. Premium Feature Psychology:

• Pro searches feel like a "superpower" compared to basic
• Limited daily pro searches create FOMO
• Strategic placement of premium features during high-value moments
• Loss aversion kicks in when users hit limits

What Makes This Work:

1. Permission-less Value

• Users don't need to commit before experiencing value
• Removes traditional signup friction
• Creates trust through immediate utility

1. Guided Discovery

• Dynamic queries remove decision paralysis
• Each search suggests related queries
• Users naturally discover more features through use

1. Strategic Limitations

• Premium features are strategically limited, not blocked
• Users know exactly what they're missing
• Creates natural upgrade momentum

Actionable Takeaways for Your Product:

1. Find Your "3 Searches"

• What's your equivalent of 3 searches?
• Which premium feature could you partially unlock?
• How can you demonstrate value before asking for commitment?

1. Map Value Moments

• Identify where users feel most powerful
• Place upgrade prompts near these moments
• Create clear before/after experiences

1. Platform-Specific Activation

• Different platforms might need different approaches
• Test various friction points
• Don't assume one size fits all

The Bigger Picture: This isn't just about search - it's about making users feel powerful enough that they want to pay for more. The genius is in letting users experience this power before asking them to commit.

I wrote a detailed newsletter breaking down their entire strategy with screenshots and metrics.

Full detailed analysis with visuals here: Onboard Me

posting this here since i think it'll benefit a few lads

to keep it short I have a huge team of 500+ affiliates/content creators - they post videos aggressively (in a good way) and get paid depending on how the videos perform ($0.15-$2 per thousand views)

I think they’d benefit from working on a campaign promoting a b2c saas on TikTok/Instagram

it’s a good way to get millions of impressions and generate sales across every platform with whatever you’re selling

I’m super close to adding the final touches to a custom web app to make it easier to manage everything too so you can view campaign results there once set up

hit me up if this sounds interesting and we can work something out

Hey folks, we sponsored an event and now have a list of ~1,200 attendees, including emails. We want to message them on LinkedIn. How would you find the LinkedIn profiles at scale? I tried ReverseContact but the hit rate was terrible (less than 10%). Tried something called Enrich.so but it's even worse. Any good recommendations? I used to use a custom Google Search Engine, but I know LinkedIn nerfed their google results, I wonder if that's still a good option?

I’m co-founder of a salestech SaaS - we automate cold outreach and lead scraping with AI agents + couple bells and whistles that I won't share publicly.

Fun fact: I found my first co-founder here on Reddit, and now we’re back for Round 2!

Where we are now:

• Started sales 11 months ago
• ~30% MoM recurring revenue growth
• Low-6 figures ARR, bootstrapped, profitable
• <10% churn – people love the product
• Strong word of mouth buzz, but we suck at amplifying it

Our team: (8 FTEs as of now)

👨‍💻 CTO who built and shipped MVP in 3 weeks, now leading a killer dev team
🤝 Sales guy (me) closing 70%+ of deals, with domain expertise
✨ Product users rave about – just need a marketing megaphone
