Ask HN: How do you market a side project?
8 points by ruairidhwm 20 hours ago | 7 comments

I've got a side project I've worked on for a while and I'm happy with the engineering side, but I'm terrible at marketing. I've made a couple of reddit comments, shown friends who would benefit from my project, but what is the best way to get it out there?

Put yourself in your customer's shoes and imagine where you'd be. Sometimes the answer is reddit, sometimes other forums, sometimes in-person events.

Who’s it for? Where do those people learn about new things?

I'd say ICs and Team Leads in eng organisations. So far I'm thinking Reddit and HN? Maybe a bit of LinkedIn

Be a little more imaginative. How would someone with the problem you solve behave? How can you catch them at the right moment in their journey?

It has, but there are always new perspectives.
