What will we cover today?

 •   Where to start
 •   Finding your feet
 •   What to tweet
 •   Potential issues
Twitter has revolutionised the way we interact
online. It made us used to communicating in
real time
Where to start

 •   Twitter is simple (sort of)
 •   Use a simple or memorable user name
 •   No egg – upload a picture
 •   Complete your details
 •   Dive in and find your voice
 •   Follow people you know
Some useful terms
@ reply: a comment directed at
somebody, but beware it is public!
DM: a private message to another user
Retweet: you may see this as RT.
Essentially you like a post so much that
          you have to share it
Hashtags: words prefixed with a #
which help track conversations on a
         particular topic
Finding your feet

 •   Who do you want to talk to?
 •   Will you apply a casual and friendly approach?
 •   How often will you tweet?
 •   Make an effort to reply to ALL comments
 •   Don’t have auto-DMs for new follows
 •   Don’t follow back everybody
What to tweet

 • Interesting content from your organisation
   – Photo
   – Video
   – Blogs and News
   – Events
   – Campaign actions
 • Ask questions and engage
 • Knowledge share with other orgs
Potential issues

 •   Criticism
 •   Differing views
 •   Slow responses
 •   Broadcasting
 •   Never sharing content
 •   Criticising others
Your potential donors and supporters are on
   Twitter. Start conversations and build a
        relationship with them today.
Activity

 • Split into groups of four
    – Choose one of your organisations
    – Write a short strategy for encouraging staff across
      your organisation to start using Twitter
       • how will you sustain this over time?
       • how will you measure impact?
       • will you include a social media policy?
