- Just go through list – say nothing else2 – How to set up, even if you THINK your page is all set up, it probably isn’t!
- LinkedIn has turned 11 yesterday! – It’s the OLDEST of all the social networks, and has changed vastly in recent years – new intro just yesterday (Publishing).Did you know that YOU can now apply to write articles for LinkedIn for example? They have become a content publisher, content curator, job board, social network, rollodex and more…….There are so so many social media platforms – why care about Linkedin? Lets find out…….
- 2 people PER SECOND are joining LinkedIn – all the Ivey League Schools matriculation EVERY DAY!

- This is the HIGHEST trust rate of all of the social networks – yes it’s harder, yes it’s a pain – but boy can it be worth it!!!!
- Even if you already have a company page set up, chances are that there is more you could have done to make your page fabulous – lets go through from basic to advanced now - CLICK
- Redesigned homepage for companies where users can simply see updates from all the company pages that they are following.Click to show direct URL

- These are all the companies *I* personally follow from my personal account – Like Facebook, LinkedIn ties a company page to personal profiles….. And the page where you can set up your own…. On the bottom rightSo IF you don’t have your own company page set up (or even if you do) Lets go through all the steps needed to set up your page well
- 1 - Make sure the company name listing matches the name you use in your profile. For example if you use LLC or Inc. on your personal profile, your company site must be the same – and standard across your organization so that personal profiles can link to the company page.2 - you need to have an email address with your company domain. And, this email address must also be listed on your profile. Addresses tied to free email services like yahoo, gmail and hotmail don't count..

- WALK THEM THROUGH THE SECTIONS:LI moved your COMPANY DESCRIPTION from the bottom of your page to the top in a recent update *CLICK* However only 2.5 lines are seen before a user has to click for more – MAKE THEM STRONG with a CTA – WHY SHOULD THEY FOLLOW YOUR PAGE take time to write a great description of your organization. If someone makes the effort to ‘see more’, they’ve already demonstrated that they’re interested in your organization. Don’t disappoint them by not providing the information they want. Furthermore, be sure to use keywords, so people can find your LinkedIn Company Page through relevant searches.

- DANGER !!! This applies if the page is already set up – are you a CEO? Have any idea at all who owns your page?? For consistency and security you MUST add more than one admin – explain page ownership and how if YOU leave the page goes with you if you haven’t got a policy and procedure in place – this is a MUST FYIThe ED, someone on the Board, Comms Manager, Fundraising Manager, person in charge daily.

- Talk about the general move to being VISUAL: The cover photo appears at the top of the home page of your LinkedIn Company Page. Choose a cover photo that is visually dynamic, capture’s people’s attention, and lures them in to take a closer look at your Page content. Don’t forget that your company summary is hidden at the bottom of your home page, so it’s a good idea to include a message in your cover image that describes what your company does in a few words.FREE TEMPLATES FROM HUBSPOT Next click – examples of great cover images, as well as follower counts!

- What they have replaces P&S with……
- Remember – if you do this, you START AGAIN FROM ZERO on each of these pages!
- All that hard work is for nothing if you don’t then actually DO something to drive people to your page – by building an audience and sharing status updates – we don’t have time to go into building your social media audience in great detail today – but lets talk updates
- Why make status updates?1 – So so many nonprofit LinkedIn pages have hundreds of people following them, and they have never given an update to those people!!! I won’t name and shame…. But you are basically ignoring the phone when it is ringing, and not replying to your emails! 2 – You recognize that donors, volunteers, partners, funders and board members are here – you want to be too! 3 – You have a strategic goal for your time and presence…. Engaging with volunteers, researching major donors, finding new board members……

- Why create a company page?1. Showcase your brandPresent your organization, mission, and stories to the LinkedIn network.Inspire a conversationThrough group discussions, members engage more deeply and some become advocates. 2. Connect your community Your company page formalizes your nonprofit presence, giving assurance to those considering involvement.Once members of the same group, your supporters connect with one another, increasing the strength and numbers of their ties to you.
- Should not be entered into lightly or half heartedly! Time and staff resource needed
- How to make it successful1. Set a tone for your group membersChoose language and content that communicates your organization’s personality.2. Share relevant content in an engaging wayWhat would you click or comment on? Make sure that the content you’re allowing into your group is evocative, inspirational, education – engaging.3. Don’t be the only vocalist; build up advocatesEncourage your most active group members to start discussions and support new members. Equip these members with the information and enthusiasm to spread your message to other groups and forums. 4. Invite and welcome your communityWelcome members automatically and bring members back to the gropu for more information by writing weekly emails from the group. 5. Manage – Manage – ManageSuccessful groups require an active manager curating content and facilitating conversation. Only create a group if you have the time to manage it.
- GUESS AGAIN - According to LI - 78% of professionals are interested in joining a nonprofit board. LinkedIn Board Member Connect exists to bring these groups together.
- EVEN OUTSIDE USA THERE ARE SOME TRICKS: Under advanced people searchSelecting ‘Nonprofit Interests’ identifies people who have put on their profile that they have an interest in Board Membership.WITHOUT PAYING you can search keywords, job titles, companies in your 1st, 2nd, and group connections – IMPORTANT THAT YOU are therefore active and connected on LI. The gold icons are the upgraded search functions you’dget if youcould join the program and get Talent Finder. Not missing much!
- Search is all done via a personal account – with the upgraded features you have wide open access – without you are restricted to people in your own extended network and groups – so if you have ‘never bothered with LinkedIn’ and have 83 connections, you have limited ability to make the best of the amazing people in there!!!
- LinkedIn invites people to ADD A SIGNAL to their profile that they are interested in volunteering…..And for more details about the causes you care about and have already listed
- How they might find YOU – only if you pay for an adNOTE THESE ARE PAIDIf Volunteer Match comes to Canada, then will cost $50 to post through the program
- Simply use the advanced search features to look – using the Causes and Volunteering section is the key to finding people who have ALREADY expressed an interest! Click to share resource URL for a full presentation on using search well to find volunteers.Use the ADVANCED search function to unlock this all for free!!!
- Simple! If you / your org / your volunteers and board have NO connection to the person, they live far from your office, and have nothing on their profile that indicates that they are a committed volunteer passionate about your cause…. Do NOTHING. DO NOT MAIL. @LeahEustaceWould you cold call them and ask them to volunteer? No, of course not – same rules apply here. You are looking for people with affinity to your cause, a demonstrated passion for volunteering, and ideally language on their profile that says they are happy to be contacted.
