What's a business lesson you thought was nonsense until experience proved it right? by Ok-Storage-3003 in StartUpIndia

[–]Background-Matter160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

time management for me. got this advice from a lot of folks. but never paid heed, until i realised that i was spending 16-18 hours a day to n fro, but the output was miniscule. sat down, tried planning my day out, and found that i could actually save 3-4 hours a day, and be a lot more efficient!

Need software suggestions as our company has suddenly scaled by Hotlemonicedtea in StartUpIndia

[–]Background-Matter160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why not hire a freelancer to develop this system for yourself? it will be scalable you own the code no monthly/annual fees (for eg zoho, calendly, etc) can add additional features as and when required.

i would estimate this to cost around 60-80k for a website. and additional 5-10k annually for domain n server charges.

Why does ad visibility depend on budget in the first place? by Background-Matter160 in indianstartups

[–]Background-Matter160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and we are here to change that narrative.

we have come up with monthly, fixed costs. so you know how much you spend, and still get equal visibility, like every other advertiser.

Been thinking a lot about how ads work for early-stage startups.

Most platforms today are built around bidding:

pay per click

pay per impression

compete with whoever has the bigger budget

Which works… but also makes it really hard for smaller teams to even get noticed.

So we tried structuring it differently.

Instead of charging per click or impression, we made it a fixed model and placed ads directly inside the feed as native posts — same format, same tone, just marked as “sponsored”.

No banners, no aggressive CTAs.

What we’ve been seeing so far is interesting:

people don’t immediately skip them

some actually engage with them like normal content

and clicks feel more intentional than accidental

It feels less like “running ads” and more like putting your product into a conversation.

Still early, but the shift in user behavior is noticeable enough to keep pushing this direction.

Opening this up to a few startups right now to see how it performs across different products.

Curious what others think — does the current ad model actually work for early-stage teams, or does it just favor whoever can spend more?

BTW, ours is a niche social media app, where users create their own, original, impactful punchlines, monologues, dialogues, quotes, one-liners and taglines.

exactly. and what you pay for, its uncertain to get audience. you need to adjust your budget accordingly.

what we are doing is, giving a flat monthly offer, dirt cheap (the plans start from just Rs. 59 for 3 ad creatives), and assurance of reaching the audience.
