Hey Pros, I need some help, I'm currently working for a client that has a product that automatically creates developer portfolios based on their GitHub profile information. Their target market is developers who are looking for jobs, does anyone know how I can find contact information of developers who are looking for jobs. I know Linkedin recruiter is an option but it costs $900 which is way too much. Is their any other way or maybe some tool that can help me find these contacts?

Reddit has been a popular channel for user acquisition and growth; I wanted to ask you Pros, what is your approach when posting on Reddit, and have you seen any success on Reddit in terms of growth and user acquisition? Here are some things I have learned about Reddit: • Post where my audience is. • Create a blog post about lessons I've learned. • Post the same article on different subs, but don't overdo it. • Double-check the rules in the subreddits where I post, clean my content, and then post.

Got a question for all you Reddit marketers We're thinking of starting a subreddit for the niche we're in. There are one or two subreddits for that niche already but they're pretty inactive so this seems like a good opportunity. My question is this: How "branded" should the subreddit be? Should we clearly state that this is basically the official Reddit forum of the business? No effort to cover up our promotional posts. Or should we try and be as anonymous as possible? Just start the subreddit and let the users take over, subtly feeding in our brand's content pieces as and when necessary?

Hi all, Anyone used outbound email successfully with senior developers/CTOs? We're selling a B2B SaaS tool for hiring devs and trying outbound email/Linkedin as a channel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Happy to discuss a consulting arrangement via DM as well.

Hi everyone. Thank you for all the great insights so far (I've been here for a couple of months now). I'm at a dev tools platform startup (https://livecycle.io/) and I'm working on a short-term sign up blitz to try and get 50-100 new signups within the next 4 weeks. My target persona for adopting the product is a hands-on developer (not a manager who is a step removed from the code). My two questions are: 1. Are there any 'communities' or platforms that are particularly receptive/responsive to trying new products? 2. Are there any marketing tactics that you've found particularly effective to encouraging developers to try your product? (gift cards? free swag? anything else?) 3. I have a number of things that I'm already working on, but I am trying to think out of the box here, and so I'm reaching out to the community for your genius input.. 🙂 . Thanks!

Does anyone have recommendations on influencer marketing strategy for Tiktok? Looking to get downloads for our browser extension. When I reached out to Tiktok influencers- mostly people with 10k-40k followers and an average video with 5k-10k views, they ask for $750-$2000 for a 15 second video. If a video gets 5k views and that leads to 50-100 downloads- the CAC would be quite high for us. I'm currently offering influencers $100-200 and a free guest post with a backlink from our site - featuring them as a top influencer for their niche. Are there any recommendations on forming partnerships with influencers?
