Ask HN: Any tips to find a good dev advocate and content creator?

1 pointsby gervwykover 2 years ago
Creating content for a niche SaaS product requires specific domain knowledge, and in our case some technical expertise - which of source can be developed.<p>This quote from Bill Gates &#x2F; Naval comes to mind - &quot;I&#x27;d rather teach an engineer marketing than a marketer engineering.&quot; However, of course, this does not mean that one should rather hire engineers as marketers.<p>As a small start-up, it should be expected that the founders be the first content creators to voice the product; however, as the company grows this task needs to be delegated and evolved into a full-time effort. I&#x27;ve been trying to hire a dev advocate in our local market, but for the little that I&#x27;ve interviewed has been uninspiring.<p>Any advice from founders that successfully developed these roles in their startup? Is it better to look for a technical person with a passion for communication than trying to teach a communication expert the technicalities of your industry &#x2F; product?
