Where to find software developers in order to convert them to customers
The idea that helps Software Developers
Software Developers want to easily collaborate on code. However, they can't get it because they struggle to efficiently share and review code changes with team members.
Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. CodeSwap.
CodeSwap: Code Collaboration Platform : CodeSwap is a real-time code collaboration platform that allows software developers to easily share and review code changes with team members. Of course it is much better than the stuff from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket!
How to find Software Developers
You can get insights about the pain points of software 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 software 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 software 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: CodeSwap: Code Collaboration Platform.
I described the process here in my blog post: Identify a hungry audience.
