<h3>Beyond Popularity: Monetizing R Packages</h3>
<p>In 2015 I spoke at the EARL Boston conference about my R packages for mapping US Census Data. At that time I had invested two years developing the packages, received the gratitude of countless package users, and $0 in monetary compensation.</p>
<p>Two years later those same packages are the primary way that I get new customers and clients.</p>
<p>What changed?</p>
<p>In short, I decided to take the marketing of my R packages seriously.</p>
<p>This was a hard decision to make: I had no prior experience in marketing, generally held marketing in contempt, and knew of no role models I could copy.</p>
<p>This talk will discuss the marketing techniques that provided the most value to me. I believe that they can be used by other R package authors with similar results.</p>
<p>The talk should be relevant to anyone who has is interested in having R package development become a source of revenue</p>
