Where to find educational technology developers in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Educational Technology Developers

Educational Technology Developers want to test their software products with real users. However, they can't get it because they struggle to find diverse and representative test users.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. UserTrial.

UserTrial - User Testing Platform for EdTech : A platform that connects educational technology developers with a diverse pool of real users, including students, teachers, and administrators, for rapid and insightful testing feedback to improve their software products. Of course it is much better than the stuff from UsabilityHub, UserTesting, or TryMyUI!

How to find Educational Technology Developers

You can get insights about the pain points of educational technology developers if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

  • Find out where educational technology developers hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
  • Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
  • Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
  • If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of educational technology developers, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
  • At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: UserTrial - User Testing Platform for EdTech.

I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
