How to win Developers ?

👋 Hi Makers, I would love to know your thoughts on this topic. Developers are different than your average user. Standard marketing lingo does not appeal to them and owing to their understanding of tech to convince them takes more at least that’s how I have found, I could be wrong. 👉 Anyway for those who have developed products for developers I would love your thoughts and suggestions. 👀 If you reading this and YOU ARE A DEVELOPER please take one step more. 🚀 Our team made SetOps a cloud deployment and management tool that wants developers to easily host digital products on AWS with little to no knowledge of AWS or Ops. Have a look at our website (https://www.setops.co/) and lets us know if how we have presented SetOps appeals to you and if you have any suggestions for improvements 🙌 Your suggestions will be invaluable 🙏

Well, I've always attracted devs from our team for such campaigns. They usually simplify the message and make it straight to the point. Actually I've learned from that approach. Concise and honest marketing is a powerful thing in our days:)

Hey @yuryfication, Thats the same experience I have had with other devs as well. No fluff and get straight to the point. A lot of the wording on our website has been written by devs rather than content writers so we are pretty confident that SetOps will resonate with developers. Thanks you for your suggestions 👍

Show them a side by side of the process done manually, then show the process done with Setops. Seeing is believing.
