Where to find publishing editors in order to convert them to customers
The idea that helps Publishing Editors
Publishing Editors want to discover and acquire new manuscripts for publication. However, they can't get it because they struggle to sift through numerous submissions to find high-quality manuscripts.
Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. ManuFind.
ManuFind: Manuscript Discovery Tool : ManuFind is a tool that uses machine learning to help publishing editors identify and acquire standout manuscripts from a pool of submissions. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Submittable, or Duotrope!
How to find Publishing Editors
You can get insights about the pain points of publishing editors 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 editors 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 editors, 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: ManuFind: Manuscript Discovery Tool.
