Building a strong online presence as a developer can help you connect with others in the industry, showcase your skills, and even open up opportunities for collaboration or employment. This makes it quite important for a developer to increase their social presence.

Before going to the article let me introduce myself to the newer readers. I am Suraj Vishwakarma, a developer and technical writer. You are reading this as you have purchased my GumRoad products. In this newsletter, I talk about social media presence and technical writing as a Developer. If you like this issue then you should continue with this.
So, let’s get started.
Creating a Blog
This is one of the most effective ways of increasing social media presence. You can start writing blogs on WordPress websites or platforms like dev.to, Hashnode, and Medium. You can write topics about what you are learning, or listing tools for developers for a start. You can go on improving the article with each writing. This can lead to writing sponsored articles on your own or client’s platform and many other collaborations.

Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn is the platform where you can find connections that will most likely collaborate with you. So, posting your ideas, project output and achievements can lead to potential employment opportunities. You can work on your profile such as adding a professional photo, detailed work experience, and a compelling headline.
Contribute to Open Source
Open-source contribution is considered one of the most helpful things that you can do online. You can start contributing to different open-source projects on platforms like GitHub. This not only showcases your skills but also connects you with other developers in the community.
This will enhance your GitHub profile. In the modern-day, a GitHub profile can act as your resume. So, working on it is useful. Also, you can create a repository that can be liked by others. Thus increasing your presence on GitHub.
Writing Tweet on Twitter
Tech Twitter has a lot of users. Writing regularly to share your knowledge and thoughts will help in increasing the number of followers on the platform. You can use the platform to share your blog articles, achievements, and products if you launch any.
Share your thoughts, retweet interesting content, and use relevant hashtags to ace your Twitter game.
