This essay felt sparse on the detail. Every tech person on HN knows their product and problem domain quite well - how to market it is a genuinely different problem.
Mentioning "listening" is a great point - but this is not particularly novel (any book on sales & marketing would suggest this first step as well).
Some points I was expecting:
- Story telling, vision setting and narrative building (I would recommend "CopyHour" for anyone interested)
- Visual imagery (design, photos, icons)
- Content marketing (informing your customer, aka. "thought leadership")
- Sampling across various marketing channels, then scaling on those which perform well ("Scientific Advertising" is a very quick read here)
