We also dig into onboarding/monetization experiments, live-learning bets, community building, and Gabe’s “AI Stack for Startups.”\nWhat you’ll learn\nWhy a tiny % of creatives drive the majority of paid social results—and how to reliably find them\nThe playbook to mine influencer content and graduate winners from testing → scaling → core\nBudgeting and campaign structure tactics to let new winners break through incumbent hits\nWhen (and for whom) app→web payment flows actually make sense\nParallel growth lanes beyond UA: onboarding, monetization, live sessions, and community\nGabe’s “AI Stack” to go from beginner to intermediate with LLMs\nKey Takeaways\nCreative hits rule paid social. Treat influencers as your “hit makers”; port high-engagement organic posts into ads and look for fast spend/scale with strong unit economics.\nJudge by scale, not vanity. If Meta won’t spend on it, it’s not a hit—pause losers quickly.\nStructure matters. Keep an always-on testing campaign; promote winners to a scaling lane (separate ad sets to force initial spend), then into your core.\nExpect droughts. Old hits can keep outperforming new tests—reactivate past winners and extend via hook swaps, but keep sourcing creators.\nWeb payments ≠ free margin. Friction can erase take-rate gains; look for segment fit (e.g., older audiences) and promo-led moments to overcome drop-off. Test before scaling.\nDon’t single-thread growth. Run ongoing onboarding/monetization experiments and build community to diversify beyond UA.\nLinks & Resources\nLingvano (learn ASL, BSL, and more): www.lingvano.com\nGabe’s AI Stack for Startups (go to first featured posts): https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielkwakyi/\nAdvanced App Store Optimization Handbook: https://www.asoebook.com/\nConnect with Gabe on LinkedIn:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zQmNoGN5MuGeMOqTvMb2DuPbwhjQUVEJ-q54eTGsg0c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMDkx/MTljNmYxN2FkNGFm/NDIwOWMyNzU0MmQ1/M2ZjZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
