Hey dev.to fam! 👋

As an outreach expert, I often see how developers underestimate the power of building relationships beyond just writing great code. Whether you’re an indie dev launching a product, an open-source contributor, or looking for your next gig — outreach can be a total game changer.

Here’s why outreach matters for devs:

Showcase your work: Getting your projects or blog posts featured on relevant sites or newsletters can skyrocket your visibility.

Build collaborations: Outreach helps you connect with other devs, mentors, or companies for partnerships or gigs.

Grow your network: The tech world is all about who you know and what you know.

Quick tips to start outreach as a dev:

• Personalize your messages — no copy-paste spam!
• Focus on mutual value, not just “What can I get?”
• Be consistent but respectful in follow-ups.
• Leverage platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and even GitHub Discussions to start conversations.

Outreach isn’t just for marketers — it’s for anyone who wants to grow their impact and community.
