4. What is Social Media?
Social Media is people using tools (like
blogs & video) and sites (like Facebook &
Twitter) to share content and have
conversations
online.
5. The Real Value of Social Media
“Is that it exponentially
leverages word-of-mouth.”
-John Haydon,
marketing consultant
johnhaydon.com
(yes, that’s him.)
6. Show Me the Money?
"At the end of the day, you can't think of it as a
fundraising tool," says Allison Fine, an expert on
using social media to ignite social change.
"It's a friend-raising and awareness
raising tool.“
For What???
8. My how times have changed…
Number of
websites at
the end of his
first year?
17. Developing Basic Strategy
• Who is the target?
• What is the message?
• How can we engage?
• What tools do we use?
• How do we build a base?
• Define Success
• Delegate the Responsibility
18. Social Media: STEP by STEP
• Target Your Audience: Listen First!
– General listening tools
• Best in class: SocialMention.com – As far as ‘free’ options go,
this is a solid as it gets.
• Alternatives: BoardReader.com (discussion board specific),
Addictomatic.com (a general listening dashboard) and
PeopleBrowsr.com (big data, big insights).
– Specific listening tools
• Each of the major social media platforms can be interrogated
using a combination of specific tools including: FBsearch.us
(Facebook), Monitter.com (location-based Twitter search),
TagDef.com (Twitter hashtags), YouTube/KeywordTool
(YouTube content optimization tool).
21. Step by Step: Share
• Share Something: Create or share content that is
valuable to your audience.
– Publishing / blogging
• Best in class: WordPress.com
• CheckThis.com - Need a single page website in an instant? This
is the tool for you.
– Content discovery
• Bo.lt, Trap.it, YourVersion.com and MyCube.com are all
examples of content curation and discovery tools which you
can tailor to suit your needs.
• Imagery: Stock.xchng (the best place to find free images by
keyword) and New.Pixable.com (A Pinterest-style image
aggregator based on your networks and interests)
• Video: en.fooooo.com (video search engine which aggregates
results from all the major video platforms)
23. Step by Step: Engage &
Build Community
• Converse, don’t preach: What’s your message?
– Not immediate: Be prepared to take time
– According to Beth Kanter
“Getting to the stage where supporters are truly
engaged takes about 18 months and is heavy on
experimentation and "reiteration.“:
• Dashboards
– The most widely used ones include TweetDeck.com,
HootSuite.com and SproutSocial.com, but there are a
bunch of other alternatives out there too.
– Scheduling: BufferApp.com– A simple way to ‘pace
and space’ your updates across multiple social
networks.
24. Your Common Goals
• Raise Awareness and Visibility
• Network and Share
• Raise Money
• Increase Sales
• Others?

GOALS: Introduction to Social Media Speed Dating with Popular Tools of Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube) 5 Rules of Social Media to Help you Get Stared
All can be utilized for your business if you have a clear idea of what you want from it, what you have to give to it and for how long. If you build it they won’t come.
Social media is PEOPLE FIRST, NOT TOOLS. What’s new with social media? What’s new with YOUR NONPROFIT? Helps nonprofits capture the “long tail of marketing” Every nonprofit is famous to 15 people. Who are your 15 people?
Whisper down the lane. What are the pros and cons of whisper down the lane. Even if your clear the message can change. Loss of control. To use social media well, a nonprofit must understand how it differs from traditional media, which typically follow a broadcast model involving one organization controlling a message it delivers to many people simultaneously. To use social media well, a nonprofit must understand how it differs from traditional media, which typically follow a broadcast model involving one organization controlling a message it delivers to many people simultaneously. Social media is two-way messaging over which nonprofits have little control, says Beth Kanter, a scholar-in-residence for nonprofits and social media at the Packard Foundation. It's a different kind of distribution where the nonprofit reaches influential people who then reach their friends with their own message about a cause. "You need to build your network before you need it," says Kanter. "There's not yet a specific formula that works for everyone. It's a lot of small experiments and you reiterate." To get started, she recommends a heavy dose of listening in order to monitor and track where people are online and what they're saying. Then it's time to engage in the conversation, but be careful not to preach. "Talk to people, don't just throw your message at them," says Kanter. Once an organization has become a participant in the conversation, it can begin to share its story by developing a blog or starting a YouTube channel. More important than that, though, is getting supporters to create content about a nonprofit. To "generate buzz," Kanter recommends spreading a message quickly and widely through Twitter or Digg, a news service that can generate traffic. Finally, it's time to develop an online community, she says. "First you get insights - what works and what doesn't," says Kanter. "The next thing you see is engagement - the conversation. Once you've measured that, you can start to track to taking an action. And the holy grail is linking that to true social change." These days, websites are becoming more like social networks, where supporters and constituents can talk online. And almost one in three nonprofits report they maintain their own in-house social networking site, says the NTEN study. That requires an online community manager, someone who interacts with supporters in an online environment. While the process isn't necessarily difficult, it does take time to do it well, says Kanter. "If this isn't your priority, maybe you shouldn't be doing it," she says. Getting to the stage where supporters are truly engaged takes about 18 months, says Kanter, and is heavy on experimentation and "reiteration." "Nonprofits should enter the world of social media, but they should do it strategically," she says. "Not incredibly planned, but knowing you're going to fail. That's the way to success - reiterate."
Without social media you would have a different president. WHY? Connected to the basic principles of social media RIGHT TIME (time when people were desperate for change. Strong motivating factors.) RIGHT MESSAGE (authentic message, people believed that he could DEVLIVER that change.) EASY TO ACT (campaign asked for specific actions and made it easy, you could donate $5, you could make calls, you could volunteer on election day….) HOW CAN YOUR NONPROFIT DO THE SAME ON A SCALED DOWN BASIS?
Study of execs- defined reason for success was.
To get started, she recommends a heavy dose of listening in order to monitor and track where people are online and what they're saying. General research tools Domain / Username Checking: KnowEm.com , CheckUsernames.com , Claim.io (all solid options) Alternative Site Research : SimilarSites.com (the most robust website alternative engine), SmilarSiteSearch.com , SitesLike.com Blog / Blogger Identification: AllTop.com (online blog ‘magazine rack’), IceRocket.com (use the advanced blog search function for best effect), Google.com/Blogsearch (always improving). Influencer Research / Identification: This is a much-debated topic thanks to the existence of Klout.com , PeerIndex.net , Kred.ly and the like. While these tools are useful to a degree, the listening tools listed above (when used manually), are just as useful.

Now we know the basic concepts behind social media – and why we want to use it… Let’s learn a little more about four mainstay tools: FB, Twitter, Blogs, YouTube See an example of what each does… Weigh pro’s and con’s (you can relate them to your nonprofit’s goals.)
Likes long walks on the beach…
YouTube’s Nonprofit Channel Much of what we do is more powerful when people see it.
A little complicated..> Looks good at first – but sometimes you have to put some work into it to get it to be what you want it to be. Do some digging to find what you want.
“ It’s just lunch.” Micro-blogging Allows you to share short snippets of information, link, time sensitive announcements, organized a large group (advocacy)
Dialogue drive means people expect a response from YOU ALL you say online never goes away. Twitter more than any other tool give you the ability to express yourself in a personal and emotionally responsive way.
Summary: All of these tools should be used towards a specific, measurable goal. The worst thing I have seen companies do is jump in and out of multiple tools just to “see” if it “works.” Define what success would be to your org. even if it’s just that you want to see an increase in blog readership from 0 to 20 readers in 6 months because you’re goal is to build an educated base. Or one donation via your facebook page in the first 3 months of operation New audiences are already online and maybe some you already know, but mostly You are going to have to develop a plan to move your traditional audience to an online audience
Klout’s one of the more well-known tools on the social market and says its mission is to identify who has influence on the Web, how much of it they have and on what topics they are influential about Twylah trumps everyone in terms of being interesting and what the service is actually able to provide. Though listed second, this is my favorite tool on the list TwentyFeet gives you a graphical view of how you’re influence is doing on various social media channels. The service allows you to track one Twitter account and one Facebook account for free, and then offers the option to pay for additional accounts at $2.50 a year. Yes, $2.50 a year. While not as flashy as some of the other tools, Peer Index does a good job at helping you understand what topics you and others are influential about. And surprisingly, they seem to get it right more often than not SproutSocial It’s a complete social media monitoring tool. However, the single dashboard provided to help business owners manage multiple accounts does a pretty good job doubling as a benchmarking tool for those inclined to use it as such. There’s even a weekly scorecard to help you keep track of New Followers, Mentions, Message Volume and Engagement Levels, as well as data to let you know which of your links get the most clicks
