## How do you reach Python developers?

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. **Python is three audiences. Write for the one you serve.** Web framework readers (#django, #fastapi), data readers (#pandas) and ML readers (#pytorch) care about different things. Publish for the tags that match your product rather than #python alone.
2. **Show the install and the first run.** Python developers adopt through a quickstart. Posts that show the pip install and the five lines that follow earn more follows than a product shot.
3. **Publish speed and packaging numbers they can test.** Install time, runtime and memory, in seconds and megabytes, are claims this audience will rerun. Put the numbers and the commands in the post.
4. **Bring the AI story to the AI reading.** Much of the AI and ML writing developers read is Python. If your tool serves that work, the AI and Machine Learning newsletter is the natural home for your releases.
