power-user-cultivation

Turn users into advocates and contributors — identifying, nurturing, and empowering your developer champions.

What It Does

Helps you identify your most engaged developers and create programs that turn them into advocates, content creators, and contributors. No forced evangelism — genuine value exchange for developers who love your product.

When to Use

  • Identifying potential advocates in your user base
  • Building a champion or ambassador program
  • Creating contributor experience for open source
  • Launching a referral program
  • Starting user-generated content initiatives
  • When you say "power users," "developer advocates," "champion program," or "UGC"

Quick Start

/power-user-cultivation

Help me identify potential advocates from our user base and design
a champion program. We have about 5,000 active developers using our API.

The Power User Spectrum

Level Behavior Your Response
Active User Uses product regularly Keep shipping
Engaged User Participates in community Respond quickly
Advocate Recommends unprompted Early access, direct line
Champion Creates content, helps others Formal program
Contributor Contributes code/docs Contributor program

Key Principles

  1. Don't push everyone up the spectrum — meet them where they are
  2. No content quotas — advocates create because they want to
  3. Credits > cash for referrals (less MLM feeling)
  4. Recognition must be specific, public, and timely
  5. Start small (5-10 champions) and grow
