The Good, The Bad, and The Data: Marketing Strategies
summary
Practical steps for marketing open source: for projects make contribution very easy, publish clear docs and contribution guides, and follow the rule of three (if a question appears three times turn it into content). For service firms focus on targeted personas, niche positioning, and client-facing case materials. Use Google Analytics for simple traffic segmentation, prioritize engagement over raw reach, A/B test headlines/newsletters, and boost posts that already work rather than chasing new channels.
