Common questions
- Can we write our own posts?
- Yes. Send a draft and we'll edit it to fit the channel, or we write it and you approve. Either way you sign off before it goes live
- What do you not accept?
- Anything the community would not use: unrelated products, recruiters for non-engineering roles, and anything that needs us to hide that it is sponsored. Posts are always labelled
- Do you offer quarterly rates?
- Yes. Three months booked together is priced below the monthly rate. Ask in the form and we'll quote it
- How do we know it worked?
- Every link is tracked. You get clicks, reactions and reply counts per placement at the end of the month
- Can we offer members a deal?
- Please do. An extended trial or a member discount gives people a reason to reply
