What Developers Want
Developers are the hardest audience to market to. They ignore traditional marketing and respond only to genuinely useful technical content. Your blog needs to teach, not sell.
Content Types That Work
- Tutorials with real code — Step-by-step guides with copy-paste examples
- Architecture deep dives — How you built a specific feature
- Integration guides — Connect your product to popular tools
- Benchmarks — Performance comparisons with hard data
- Open source contributions — Share tools, libraries, or templates
What Drives Adoption
The path: discover your blog via Google search → read a useful tutorial → try the product → become a user. Your blog is the top of a trust funnel where code quality = credibility.
