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.. š .
Thanks!
