How can you advertise to a particular audience of an IRC channel? When you actually have something of value to offer and don't want to look spammy reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DreamBiggg · 2016-03-17 13:53 Some of the advice I heard were - Try to blend in and add in your promotion (That sounds pretty broad. Especially when you are not sure if they are going to talk about something which is related to your value preposition) - Try to host the channel or server - ask the admin for it and the admin mentions you as a thanks I am sure there must be more ideas. Could someone shed light on them? Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KevZero · 2016-03-17 18:26 Don't. IRC is not a platform for you to advertise on. Disrespect the community and you will be tossed out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dijit · 2016-03-17 18:52 if they're not already talking about it then ideally, don't talk about it. if it's in the realm of conversation that's ongoing then it's not a problem to say "I work for company x and we do decent products on this line" or something. It's like advertising on an internal emailing list at a company, it's kinda bad to bring up products that aren't relevant to the topic or discussion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- noeatnosleep · 2016-03-17 21:43 Everyone who's spamming thinks they have something of value. Unless the topic comes up naturally, don't try to promote your stuff. That's not what IRC is for. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DreamBiggg · 2016-03-18 11:44 Yup that is what I thought. Well do you guys have some recommendations which channels should I use to promote my product to developers. Mainly I am looking for developers who would be interested in the startup world in Europe. Specific communities on javascript, java, devops, frontend, backend..... Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
