Why traditional dev marketing fails

The Problem

You built a great developer tool. Now you need developers to actually try it.

Traditional agencies blast emails and hope for the best. Developers ignore generic outreach.

You need developers who care about your problem space to actually use your tool and give real feedback.

What Actually Works

Pay developers to complete meaningful tasks: try your tool, write feedback, create content, contribute code.

Target developers who are actively working in your space—not random names on a list.

Track completion, measure quality, iterate on what works.

We run campaigns using bounties.

Developers complete tasks—from starring repos to writing tutorials—and get rewarded. You get real adoption.
