High-five to @wpgaurav! 🙌 Just spotted you getting a well-deserved mention in the latest Tidbits from Brian (Issue #53) by @brianleejackson from @_perfmatters. Always great to see your work making waves in the performance space! 🚀

Unlike other confusing domain extensions, a .blog URL tells your audience exactly what to expect before they even click. It builds instant trust, protects your personal brand, and gives you access to short, memorable names that are actually still available!

The "UPI Effect" is undefeated. Gamma AI got a 22% revenue bump just by enabling it via Stripe! 🚀 Love the shoutout to India, @stripe—now please open the gates so us local freelancers can join the fun too! Let us build! 🇮🇳💻💳

@reenu_for_you @grok @premium @XHelp UPI is not available via Google Chrome Browser (Desktop), but I can see UPI when I use the @X mobile app.

@mannupaaji @stripesupport Don't fall for that waiting list promise, I have been there for many years now by multipleeee support staff 😁

@stripesupport hmm?

I wish @stripe offered a UPI option.

@jeff_weinstein @thisisgrantlee @stripe Hi @jeff_weinstein Please make #UPI access available to all of your Indian customers. While UPI is primarily intended for Indian merchants and customers, its current availability seems limited to US-based companies that serve Indian customers, which is quite an irony. Thank you

@thisisgrantlee @stripe Just to be super crisp, that means accepting UPI and Pix? Absolutely anything else our teams should focus more on to help you? Or a little buggy thorn you keep running into?

we grew from zero to $50M ARR in <2 years, profitably i've never publicly shared our tactics before it's cost us over $5M to learn what I'm about to share 800-word long post on every growth hack that printed money for us I'll cover: 1. Influencer Marketing 2. Performance Marketing vs Brand 3. User Testing 4. Dogfooding 0-10M was nearly 100% word of mouth and organic content 10-50M was still >50% word of mouth but influencer, affiliate, and referral made up the other half But the foundation we set from 0-$10M is what allowed us to blaze past $50M 1. Influencer Marketing 101: 90% of your reach comes from <10% of content that goes viral. Your job: go broad with influencers and spend enough to find that 10% of content and formats that work. Virality is no accident - test and discover hooks, visuals, formats for each platform, understand why they work, and replicate 100x across your influencer roster. Most startups get three things wrong: 1 - Too small budget 2 - Overly selective on creators and messaging 3 - Give up too early Start with $10-20k/month, commit to 6 months minimum. This lets you experiment with many micro influencers and lets you test many concepts. - List creator personas with audiences that care about your product. Be exhaustive. Influencer outreach is time-consuming. Work with a freelancer or agency if you don't have a team. DM me for recommendations. - Offer base + viral bonus. For TikTok, have them start new accounts. New accounts can get as many views as established ones. But on new accounts creators are unburdened by their brand and can try any format. - Test across all platforms (TikTok, IG, X, LinkedIn work for most B2B/prosumer apps). - Track specific creators and hooks that outperform, not just channels. - Add 'How did you hear about us' to onboarding. Calculate which channels drive leads vs just views. - Compile every asset, video or hook that works into a guide. Once you have 20-30 winning formats, hire your top creators as consultants to train all other influencers on what angles go viral for you and why. - Never write scripts - it becomes an ad no one watches. Creators know their audience best. 2. Invest in brand before performance marketing Most startups are not prepared to scale their spend because their brand and creative sucks. We had to go through an extremely expensive rebrand (both in terms of time and dollars spent) to land on something we loved. But it would have been much more expensive to skip this step. Be relentless about testing a wide range of creatives. Whatever number of creatives you're thinking of testing, 10x it. Be bold. See what moves the needle (CAC payback, conversion rates, LTV and retention). Once you see a particular use case resonating, build a whole funnel around it with symmetric messaging. You don’t want to confuse visitors by showing them an ad with one value prop and then drop them on to a landing page with a completely different message. 3. Get users to test prototypes before you ship. This seems trivial, but saves you from the worst startup mistake - misdirected product development. Most startups think experimentation is for mature companies improving their funnel by 1% through a/b testing. But Gamma's founding team is early Optimizely folks. Experimentation is in our DNA. We ran extensive user testing on platforms like voicepanel and usertesting a. Recruited random people who make slide decks for work. They have no skin in the game and won't lie to be nice. b. Showed them prototypes with minimal instructions and let them spend a few minutes trying things out. c. Asked them to think out loud. The words they use to navigate, their expectations, where they get confused is gold. Combining their voice + screen actions amplifies things 10x. You really feel the pain of poor UX and overcomplicated copy. Did this for everything - landing pages, onboarding, new features, moonshot concepts. Always test your biggest assumptions about what people will get or like. Identify major blind spots in your prototype stage, not at the end. Ship once you have hours of testing proof that ordinary people find it easy and useful. 4. Dogfood the hell out of your product Either you build something that's 100x better than alternatives, or you build something else. Dogfooding makes it painfully obvious if your product isn't a 100x better. Storytime: When we started Gamma, we had two competing ideas - Idea 1: a virtual office to capture in-person magic Idea 2: reimagining PowerPoint from the ground up (This became Gamma) After 6 months of building and dogfooding both of them in parallel, we had a clear winner. It wasn't about metrics or hard data. With a virtual office, we were always competing against IRL and could never replace the magic of being together in person. With the reimagined PowerPoint, we could imagine a product 100x better than the alternative. Any startup can learn from our playbook. I really hope they do.

@uglyrobot @KatieKeithBarn2 @ask_hellosatya @stripe supports #UPI with automatic recurring charges, but this feature is still in so-called beta phase for ages. Stripe offers this to a very limited number of companies. @OpenAI is one of them

@KatieKeithBarn2 @ask_hellosatya Stripe checkout support UPI, though not for recurring unfortunately.

As always, I got a ton of business benefits from attending #WCUS: - Productive conversations with other plugin companies about cross-promotion. - Invited to speak at 2 conferences. - Early insights into Elementor’s new "Angie" AI plugin & opportunities it creates for Woo + integrations with our plugins. - Content idea for WooCommerce Product Options (new use case). - Received inside info about how some of the bigger companies in WordPress are managed, which will help me to be more strategic in how to work with them. - Learned that UPI payments dominate in India, where we have lots of traffic but low conversions → adding this to our research. - Recruited a beta tester for Barn2 Bundles & Bulk Discounts. - Connected with plugin founders also expanding into Shopify → added them to my Slack group. - Tips on support metrics + process improvements. - Useful feedback on Barn2’s content & my personal role in the community. Now to put it all into practice 🚀
