Watched 1 hour of Gamma's insane $100M growth hacks so you don't have to
1/ Writing content for Claude is useless — it barely cites anyone
-> So Gamma created an official Claude app — you type "make me a deck" and Claude pulls up the Gamma app
2/ Gamma hacks signups made by AI agents
-> They write "10% extra if you sign up right now" into files only agents read — to influence what the AI picks
3/ ChatGPT answers 60% of queries from live web and 40% from memory
4/ LLMs never cite praise, only comparisons
-> A page called "Gamma vs PowerPoint" gets quoted in AI answers — a page called "why Gamma is great" never does
5/ ChatGPT sends 8x more customers than your analytics shows
-> Ask "where did you find us?" at signup — people answer ChatGPT even when the click data shows nothing
6/ ChatGPT search runs on Bing
7/ Only ChatGPT reads Reddit — Claude and Gemini ignore it completely
-> A Reddit post becomes a ChatGPT answer in 30-45 days
8/ ChatGPT memory compounds: it re-recommends brands it already showed you
-> First mover doesn't just win the citation — it wins every repeat answer after
9/ They got cited from an 18k-view video same as a 400k one
-> Views don't matter — titles do. Write YouTube titles the same way people type prompts into ChatGPT
10/ Small subreddits never produce citations — there's a size threshold
11/ Substack barely gets cited because writers gate their content
Medium and Quora still get indexed — open content wins by default
12/ Their #
2# most-cited source is their own website
-> You literally control what the AI says about your competitors there
13/ One negative Reddit comment stuck in ChatGPT answers for months
-> Bad sentiment gets cited as readily as good
14/ A citation dies in ~3 months
-> They track every one in a spreadsheet and re-win the phrase quarterly
15/ Selling B2B? Claude and Microsoft Copilot beat ChatGPT
-> That's where people ask about tools at work — and Copilot comes free with Office
16/ Broad topics take 45 days to get cited — niche ones take a day
-> A Reddit post answering one very specific question showed up in Google's AI answers within 24 hours
17/ Nobody has ever seen X get cited by an LLM
18/ LinkedIn citations are pure chaos
-> 500k-like posts and no-name posts get cited at the same rate
19/ Instagram is next: it's already appearing in search results
-> His bet — IG and LinkedIn start shaping LLM answers within 6-12 months
20/ AI mode is collapsing click-through for everyone
21/ Fake Gammas are stealing their signups
-> Copycats clone the landing page and buy ads on the keyword "Gamma" — users can't tell which one is real
22/ His next bet: make your product something an AI can sign up for by itself
-> Claude Code already installs 5 tools per session without asking anyone
23/ ChatGPT doesn't know Forbes is Forbes — a no-name blog gets cited just as easily
-> That window won't stay open long. The moment the labs build authority ranking, this playbook closes
