This week’s Fireside with Voxgig podcasts see us hurtling towards the 120 episode mark! How did this happen? By focusing on quality guests that bring something to each episode which is of real value to you, our audience. As public speakers, start-up founders, CTOs, developer advocates, writers….whatever your role, we try with this podcast to present useful information from actual practitioners.
Consistently.
I’ll come back to the importance of consistency below.
But first I’ll help you get out from under that curse of knowledge that’s been holding you and your company back!
The Curse of Knowledge
Robert Kaminski shares how, as company owners and veterans of a product or service, we can become almost blind to the shortcuts we take in explaining our offering, or discovering more markets. Do yourself a favour and listen to Robert help you break through and make some progress on messaging and selling - by nailing your positioning. This is 53 minutes long, one of our longer episodes, but it is rich and full of practical help.
Influencer is NOT the same as Developer Advocate
Rohit Ghumare has a lot of followers on social media. We’re talking tens of thousands. Yet he fully appreciates how hard he worked to earn them, and how they are NOT a replacement for the hard slog of being a developer advocate. To prove the point, he details - and I mean details - his daily responsibilities and it leads us to discuss hiring for those roles within a startup vs a larger organisation.
Coming back to all those followers, he explains what it takes to get that many people to pay attention to you - consistently deliver quality information that is original to you, not just copied from someone else.
Dublin DevRel meetup
I’ll have a special extra newsletter next week in advance of the Dublin DevRel meetup - it promises to be extra special in light of Mastodon’s release last night of Version 4.2.0. I’ll keep you posted!
