You don’t have unlimited resources. Filter & Group based on relevant characteristics.
Each needs different marketing messages and activities.
That’s Segmentation.
Developers aren’t all the same.

You are the rubber, wood and the glue. How do you:
1. Incite imagination to create? 2. Provide directions and context to build a viable product? 3. Have an end goal where everyone wins?

We’re dealing with genuine, passionate
people (with high Bullshit detectors)
Truths: • Keep things real. Don’t make big
promises you can’t back up. • Want to win over a developer? Ignite
their passion and creativity. • Want to lose a developer? Feed them
some BS so they can call you out.

Its about learning Devs like to learn, are curious,
and learn by doing. By all means, give them the opportunity
to do that.

Make it simple & get your sh*t together .
Let them concentrate on creativity.
Truths: • Time is a developer’s currency. • It should be spent on productive and
rewarding activities, not tedious tasks. • Be easy to work with, not hard to
maneuver around.

Peer to Peer
Truths: • Your best developer marketing
tool is developers. • Your word doesn’t mean
anything compared to the word of a friend or colleague.
• Support your developers who spread the word and help their peers on SO and elsewhere.

Find, embrace and learn from early adopters. Reward
champions.
Truths: • Developers want to be the first to know,
but not necessarily the first to try. • Incent early adopters to take the plunge. • Recognize community members who
lead the way for others – and they’ll keep doing it.

Its about Community – Join it
Truths: • You can’t build a community without
being a part of it. • Get to know your developers – and let
them get to know you. • Don’t keep your program as part of a
faceless company, make things personal.
![Page 19: WHAT IS BUSINESS TO DEVELOPER MARKETING OR B2D](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051513/5478e971b4af9fc3158b4685/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Ecosystem is key, your sustainability is only as strong as your ecosystem and community.
Truths: • Your strength comes from your support. • That support is built and earned. • Support doesn’t come from a large
audience, it comes from a strong community.

You can’t own developers Truths: • They can be part of your mailing list (but don’t have
to be) • They can sign up to your website (but don’t have to) • They can use your tools (but don’t have to) • They can come to your events (or not) • They can read your tweets (and not comment on
them)
You can’t own your community, or its members, or decide where it begins and ends. It’s made up of who know you, that share your values and interests and are in your sphere of influence.

Its about people. They are special and you have to have someone special too
(they are called evangelists).
Truths: • You need the right team in place, few
people have a more important role than your evangelists.
• Your evangelist is your link to your community – don’t forget this.
