For social networks animation, we recommend to use Hootsuite to publish to all social networks at once. If you preferred to link to international social networks, you can still send your news by email to contact@dolibarr.org.+To help you for such tasks, you can use all materials provided by the Dolibarr foundation and available at GitHub repository ({{FoundationGitUrl}})+
−**A link to a "neutral page" opened to competitors or that show that you are not the only provider of solution, but just one of the most "engaged" company. For example, for a SaaS/Cloud hosting service, you can link to official wiki page [[Cloud_Solutions]] and ask to include your company or product page into this page. Or you can change are that present things like this "This is example of cloud services provided by company xxx" (meaning other companies may also provide such services). Another example, for a specialized module: You can add description of your module onto official wiki documentation of external modules https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Category:Complementary_modules and add a link to this page, or you can have your own page for you plugin but adding a link to say "This module is developped by xxx, for other modules developed by other companies, take a look at [link to wiki page].
−**Or, if you really need to put specific content into the official portal (with no external links, for example because you promote something really specific for your local business, not interesting for rest of the world), you can publish an article to present a short description of service/product without prices, with a link to the site of your company (so a different web site not affiliated with the Dolibarr foundation) with more complete information, like long description and prices. If there is competitors for the service/product, then, into the article on official web site, you must offer competitors a way to request to add also their own link to the article (but you can define that there is a sort criteria by age, so yours will be at top if you are the one that creates the article). Never show any price on the official community web site.

−*You can't use the publishable news on official web site https://www.dolibarr.org to promote '''exclusively''' your own private services. This is what this means: If you are a company with your own services, then description and prices of such services must be on a different web site, with a different name and not on post on www.dolibarr.org. Don't forget that the community official portal is brand of community project, not a direct home page of your business, and community project and your local web site are two different things. So, you can have links from your the official web site to reach your local web site, but links from official web site must never link '''exclusively''' toward your commercial web site/services. If you really need to include such links, you must choose between:
