Developers are the audience that taught the industry to block ads. The way in is not a louder interruption; it is the reading they chose, in the place they open every day. That is why daily.dev Ads exists: to help brands earn a place in that reading, week after week. 1. **No NuGet package, no evaluation.** .NET developers expect a maintained client library before they try a service. Lead your posts with the package name and the install line, and write the examples in C#, not translated. 2. **Show how you fit the Azure services they run.** Many .NET teams ship on Azure. Publish how your product connects to the Azure services they already use and how it deploys there, rather than a cloud-neutral pitch. 3. **Answer the compliance question early.** Much of .NET runs in regulated industries. Publish your support policy, data residency and certifications on your company page, so a developer can forward it to whoever asks. 4. **Modernisation is the ongoing project, so meet them in it.** Many .NET teams are moving from older frameworks to current ones. Publish migration write-ups that show what your tool keeps working and what it simplifies. Written by the daily.dev Ads team (13K+ companies whose developers read daily.dev; 800+ targetable stacks and topics; 2,000+ content sources in the feed).
