Add Social Media Tips to the Dev Evangelism handbook: Twitter DMs, LinkedIn Creator Mode Profile, Polywork Requests

Michael Friedrich requested to merge dev-envangelism-social-media-tips-dm-creator-mode-requests into master

Why is this change being made?

The thought leadership strategy for Developer Evangelists requires metrics collection and more efficient profiles for handling collaboration requests, sharing content, etc.

This MR documents tips in the Developer Evangelism handbook for

  • Twitter DMs, opening them up so everyone can send them.
  • LinkedIn Creator Mode, everyone can follow you, additional metrics for post impressions, more visibility as potential influencer
  • Polywork open-to and requests with best practice messages

These tips are helpful for Developer Evangelists, team members and the wider community. Especially LinkedIn Creator Mode is an essential piece for the through leadership strategy in gitlab-com/marketing&3273 (closed)

MR is inspired by a support question in Slack (internal), where I shared how to open up DMs on Twitter. FYI @ofernandez2 @courtmeddaugh
