Do you share your improvements to products?
Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 4 months ago.See historySocial Media is important for companies, and the employees. One of the things you can post is the improvements your products e.g. New features, bug fixes, upgrades etc.
Businesses should get their developers to do this, and then re-post it.
Your followers may not know about the changes and the ones who are grateful are likely to retweet or like your post. This also helps build a community around your product.
Benefits

- Gets eyes on your product
For the developer:
- Keeps your social media active
- Visibility - Shows you are a useful employee This is helpful for your current role and future roles

The important things to include are
- What changed
- The problem it solves/value it adds
- Tag/link the product
- Link to the PBI e.g. GitHub Issue
- Done Video or screenshots
Make sure to post it on a few channels to reach a wider audience.
E.g. Make an announcement GitHub Discussion then link to it from a tweet, LinkedIn post, etc.
