This can clearly be seen as a covert ad - I'm not complaining, but if you were not doing it on purpose then consider doing so.
I find write-ups in technical articles/blogs by people who use stuff and find it valuable and can articulate why to be salient.
Do you have a wide enough group of users with such output that you could suggest such write-ups from without twisting their arms too hard? The border with edvatorial is grey, but it's worth considering.
- jamiesonbecker 3y agoFair point, and I appreciate this, but no, I'm intending it (mostly!) as an honest question.. How do we actually advertise to fellow HN'ers without irritating them. Most of our customers aren't journalists. They usually work in companies and don't write things like that, except for this sort of advertorial, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/how-to-centralize-ssh-key-management-with-userify-and-aws-cloudformation/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/how-to-centralize-ssh-key-m... . Partner write-ups are in a safer space to me compared to the pro analysts (like Gartner and Forrester). Those will be talking mainly to the less technical users (personally I take paid write-ups with a grain of salt anyway.) We do have some great case studies from customers that we're going to put up soon, but those would be mainly for our website. (Does anyone actually read case studies at CIO or places like that?)
- DamonHD 3y agoIt's a bit weak to say this, but I hope that good case studies with good (above board!) SEO should surface in organic search results when people are looking for info. I aim for that in any case, but that may be a reason that I'm not a billionaire! B^>
