Overview of Major Platforms

• 140,000 photos uploaded
Facebook
Three types of Facebook platforms:

friends, friend requests

public, no limits to number of likes, public
“face”
- Community group: privacy settings
available, flexible settings, communication
within a group
Facebook
Facebook Profile
Facebook Page
Facebook Group
• Be conversational, talk to people
• Post regularly
• ALWAYS respond (well, almost…)
• NEVER remove (well, almost…)
• Use photos (videos) … many
• Post useful information, not just marketing
• Call for action (sign petition, share post)
• Be strategic with fundraising posts
Facebook Best Practices
Facebook Examples
Facebook Examples
Facebook Challenges
• 305 million active users worldwide
• 1 billion registered users (almost half
never sent a tweet)
• 500 million tweets a day
• 6,000 tweets per second
• 80% of users tweet from their phones
Twitter
• 140 characters (but really only 120)
• # (hashtag) as a way to organize
information
• @ used for direct reply or mention
• RT retweet used to post someone’s
message
• DM is a direct message in private
• bit.ly or ow.ly are URL shorteners, which
allow to condense web addresses
Twitter Tools
• Participate in conversations: ask
questions and respond
• Use direct replies, mentions, hashtags
• Retweet other tweets
• Provide and share information
• Connect with current events
• Use photos
• Inspirational quotes
• BUT: there is no one-size-fits-all
Twitter Best Practices
Twitter Examples
Twitter Examples
• Only promotes your own events
• Automatic posts from Facebook
• Too personal
• Plain inappropriate
• Lacks relevance
• Forgot to turn off auto-tweet
• Talking at people, not to them
What makes a bad tweet?
Dangers of Automated Tweets
Latest Twitter Trend: Periscope
• Easier to elicit emotion with a visual story on
social media
• Visuals are processed faster and
remembered longer
• Most visual apps: easy to use on
smartphones: great for in the field
• They are popular – by publics
• Many nonprofits are not using them yet – or
using them much
Why Use Visuals on Social Media?
Instagram
• Easy way to include visuals via mobile
• Photos and filters
• 400 million, owned by Facebook
• Simple posting to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr,
Flickr
• Use of hashtags
• Both photos and videos
Instagram Examples
Instagram Examples
• Popular social media platform in U.S.
• 31% of adult internet users
• 85% women, 15% men
• 42% of online women, 13% of online men
• Popular among younger users, but 11-pt
increase in 50 and older
• Used by nonprofit organizations for public
education, fundraising, public relations
• Used by publics for conversations, spreading
information, social support, venting
Pinterest
Three engagement levels: repins, likes, comments
Pinterest
Three components: image, caption, linked website
Pinterest
Pinterest Examples
• More than 1 billion unique visitors each month
• Over 6 billion hours of video watched each month
• Video an activity that captures the spirit of your
nonprofit
• Provide links
• Use slideshows with music if video footage is
scarce
• Measure ROI/effectiveness by measuring the # of
views and comments
• Use “Insight,” a free measurement tool on
YouTube, to measure HOW people are finding the
content
YouTube
YouTube Example
• Owned by Yahoo!
• 250 million users
• Easy input for seven types of content: text,
photo, quote, link, chat, audio, video.
• Easy sharing
• Demographics
• Highly customizable
Tumblr
Tumblr Example
