This should drive a greater interest from the developer in your community. After all, they are interested in building better relationships with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing you are genuine with your content, your community will enjoy the post and respond with their own input. This can be beneficial to you to ensure the relationship is well received in your community. It will also help the developer to tweak their product and gain the <strong>satisfaction of your community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can assess the success of this approach by monitoring content views, the number of like posts, and even assessing traffic levels to see if you have more visitors and how much time they are spending on your page.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-documentation\">Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an essential part of any relationship between a community and a developer. The community must be able to ask the developer questions about the product.

Your members can then see you bringing the subject up with the developer and monitor the success of the efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can really benefit you and the developer if you resolve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An easy way to monitor this KPI is to monitor repeat questions before and after you get involved. The fewer that reappear the happier your community is likely to be, showing that the Devrel is improving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-developer-start-ups\">Developer Start-Ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just established developer companies that you want to be targeting to boost your community. You can also <strong>encourage new developers to join<\/strong> forces with you. This is the perfect way of bolstering your own community and expanding the software options currently available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The developer will need the <strong>publicity<\/strong> your community can offer and will be able to cater directly to their needs. This will help them to get known and build their own company or community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to help new developers is to create content that is designed to guide them through the starting up process. This tells them what to expect at each stage of their journey and which approach is most likely to be successful for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get the benefit of building your community while establishing a unique and <strong>long-lasting relationship with the developer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can assess the success of this approach by simply monitoring the signup ratio and assess the number of people who have joined versus the number that are actively promoting software and sharing knowledge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, <strong>every new member will be sharing knowledge to further the community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-community-members-can-help\">How Community Members Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"community\" class=\"wp-image-11953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-896x504.jpg 896w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/priscilla-du-preez-XkKCui44iM0-unsplash.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from interacting with the various developers, your community members are an important part of the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They must give you honest feedback about a product or developer, it\u2019s the only way you can take the right action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They should also give you information regarding what things would be beneficial to them, As a community manager, you\u2019ll probably know what tool to refer them to.
