Where to find publishing companies in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Publishing Companies

Publishing Companies want to streamline the publishing process and increase efficiency. However, they can't get it because they struggle with manuscript tracking, editing workflows, and publication timelines.

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

PubHub: Publishing Process Automation : PubHub is a publishing process automation software that offers manuscript tracking, editing workflow management, and publication timeline optimization. By centralizing publishing tasks, PubHub increases efficiency and streamlines the entire publishing process. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Manuscript Manager, or Editorial Manager!

How to find Publishing Companies

You can get insights about the pain points of publishing companies 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 publishing companies 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 publishing companies, 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: PubHub: Publishing Process Automation.

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

If you do this manually, it may take you hours each day. Automate it, with a little help from the AI in CustomerPing!
