Building a Following

[Fiona]

Hi everyone,

I'm developing a software product, paid for by monthly subscription, that is aimed at developers.

Trouble is, right now I have no audience to sell it to. I have a blog with a few posts but I always find blogging such a waste of time and effort. It can take years to build a blog up to be successful and well, I'm impatient.

The blogging market feels way too saturated right now, anyone can throw up a free blog and start discussing programming. I need to find a way to get my ideas out and build a following that isn't already hugely saturated. YouTube seems less saturated as a market, but it's still hardly cutting-edge as a strategy.

What tools / strategies have you guys used to build a following / audience? I'm happy to try ideas that are a bit new and quirky, happy to do video content or graphics or whatever it needs.

Thanks
