This presentation was developed in early 2012 for Jewish organizations in Western Massachusetts. It focuses mostly on more advanced uses of Facebook to engage an audience. This presentation also touched upon basics and best practices for Twitter. Finally, there was some discussion about setting goals for effective use of Social Media.
The session covers:
- How Facebook EdgeRank determines what content will be seen by those who Like your Page (and how to take advantage of this formula)
- Great content ideas for Facebook
- Planning content to be more efficient and ensure communications are consistent across media channels
- Promoting your Facebook presence online and off
- Taking advantage of the new Timeline features of Facebook
- Twitter basics

4. What Will People Actually See?
The following determine how likely the people
who Like your Page will see a post:
» Recency – Posts within the last few hours are
more likely to be Top News
» Relevancy – If the user Likes, comments on, or
Shares your Posts (or if they simply return to your
Page), your posts are more likely to be in their Top
News
» Resonance – If a post gets a large number of
comments, Likes, and Shares overall it is more
likely to be Top News
