Solid content, out f curiosity would you consider a Newsletter a startup? Or do you feel that term is better suited for an entity that sells a good or service?
Thanks, man! Hmm, good question—I’ve never really thought about it.
I’d say, if you go by definition, then no. But if not, the real question is: what is your newsletter for? Is it just a hobby, or do you want to turn it into a business?
If it’s the latter, then yes, I’d say it’s a startup.
Your point about using testimonials is a great idea to build trust and ultimately fuel growth!
Customer testimonials can be hard to secure, particularly in the B2B space, although carries a lot of weight if the endorsement is coming from a well-known brand.
We once did an A/B test with and without testimonials and testimonials from unknown companies and well-known companies - the result was yes, testimonials had better results, but it was irrelevant whether they came from well-known companies 😃 Marketing...
Great insight, Andreas! With tools like Replit and V0, anyone can launch a site in minutes. As startups flood in, trust will be the real differentiator. Nailing the above-the-fold section isn’t optional. It’s how you prove you’re legit from the start.
Thank you, Martin! I agree—more startups and products are being launched than ever before. Trust and credibility will become the new currency, so I would focus on building them right from the start.

For those who nailed their product on PH, adding PH badge on hero section of homepage could be easiest hack to make people try your product! Easy win!
Agree! And it doesn't even have to be a PH logo. Testimonials, 5-star ratings, etc. in the header are often enough.

That's it, thanks Jens!
