If your goal is to generate an active group of people for conversation and action, perhaps a group is the way to go.

- Your Facebook page should fill a need for fans of your page. As your status updates and posts trickle into their own Facebook news feed, will they learn about how their support is making a difference? Will they learn about more ways to help? Will they be entertained and uplifted? Will they find resources that they can share with their friends? Ask yourself these questions about what your Facebook page is doing for fans.Facebook’s Timeline design is also helpful in illustrating your organization’s history. Take time to add “milestones” using photos and text. When did your organization start? What were some of your biggest accomplishments as an organization? Did you move to a new location or open a new location? Facebook isn’t the best place for making fundraising appeals. Appeals should come up organically. For example, when a disaster strikes and folks are looking for ways to help or one event days like Give to the Max Day where there are prize grant incentives on the line. Donor fatigue sets in FAST on social networks.
- How often to post to Facebook. Don’t you just wish someone would tell you how often to do it? 3x per week should be your minimum. That said, posting frequency isn’t a magic number and it’s not a scientific formula. It’s a relational equation. You might post 15x in one day if you’ve got an event going on and you’re sharing photos, videos, status updates and announcements. You might post 2x per day if you are sharing helpful information, news stories or cheerleading others. Let the content drive your decisions about how often to post.Second, engage with others by liking their pages on Facebook, then “mention” them in your own posts on your page by using the @ symbol. This ensures they see your post in their notifications.Third, learn to “use Facebook as your organization.” This is beneficial when you wish to visit other fan pages to post as your organization, not yourself.Fourth, respond to people who comment, or even like your posts. Thank them. Ask them follow up questions. BE SINCERE. BE FRIENDLY. DO NOT BE CREEPY OR FAKE.

- So, what types of things should you be posting on your Facebook page? Consider your organization’s strategic goals. Write posts that inform, educate and celebrate.If you want a particular post to be more noticeable, you can pin it or highlight the post.
- So, what types of things should you be posting on your Facebook page? Consider your organization’s strategic goals. Write posts that inform, educate and celebrate.If you want a particular post to be more noticeable, you can pin it or highlight the post. Pinning a post ensures it stays at the top of your wall for 7 days. You can only have 1 pinned post at a time.Highlighting a post expands it across your wall, making it more visible (great for videos!). It stays in chronological order in the timeline.
- Asking for donations on your Facebook page isn’t the best way to actually get donations and you can run the risk of turning off Facebook fans. Remember that your goal with Facebook is to engage fans about the cause. There’s a time to ask for money.Not every conversation needs to end with you asking for money or directing people to the donate page. This should only be used when the Facebook conversation moves to an actionable step where the community wants and seeks ways to make an impact based on what is being discussed.
- For example, in times of disaster people are especially inclined to make a financial contribution and are actively looking for ways to help. Let them know how by posting a link to your donation page.Often, during fundraising events, like Give to the Max Day, it’s generally expected that you’ll be asking for donations to earn matching dollars or win prize grants.
- Facebook comments can be tricky. For many organizations it’s a struggle to generate comments – while for others, comment threads can take on a life of their own. Case in point, during Give to the Max Day one nonprofit’s Facebook posts received comments that showed donors were sharing tips for cheating in an attempt to make sure the nonprofit won prize grant money. This conversation should have been monitored and the moderator should have intervened to discourage talk of gaming the system.
- Facebook’s admin panel includes a notifications section so you always know when you have new notifications, such as when someone comments on a link or post. Use this to keep tabs on activity.
- Insights are the analytics of your Facebook page and can tell a lot about the effectiveness of your Facebook efforts. Use Insights to review your Facebook activity regularly and adjust strategy accordingly.When you enter the main Insights dashboard you’ll see an overview with the total number of likes (and whether this is increasing or decreasing), the number of friends of fans available (this is the potential number of people you can reach!), how many people are actively talking about your page (a “story” is created anytime – someone likes your page; posts to your page wall; likes, comments on or shares one of your page posts; and mentions or tags your page) as well as your total weekly reach (unique people who have seen any content associated with your page).Insight’s like tabtakes you to the demographics as well as the locations of your fans. You’ll also see where likes came from and when unlikes occurred. (Helpful in determining if certain content is turning off fans.)Insight’s reach tab takes you to information about how much of your content is being seen, liked, commented on and shared by fans. It also provide demographic information. This is different than the like tab, which provides information about your fans. Reach provides information about the fans’ who are actually seeing your content.Insight’s talking about this tab takes you to information about how your content trends over time. Most important metrics to watch? Reach and likes are important because they are about “audience.” Talking about this is important because it’s about “interaction and affinity.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6aehIYSgYwU#!

- Facebook Advertising can be a great way to ensure more people see your posts or click on links you want to share. Facebook offers two advertising solutions: Ads and sponsored stories (aka promoted posts).The “Advertise on Facebook” page will guide you through choosing the best type of advertising based on your goals. If you want to promote an event or a link not on Facebook, then it will guide you through the creation of an ad.You can create a headline and brief text and upload an image. You can also select if you want people to see if their friends “like” your Facebook page.
- If you want to promote a Facebook page or a specific Facebook post, it will guide you through the creation of a sponsored story.It will ask you which page and then if you want to promote a specific post or the most recent post.
- The next section (similar for both ads and sponsored stories) guides you through options for the audience you wish to reach with the ad or post. You can choose state, county, city or zip code. You can select by age, gender and interests (as listed on Facebook) You can even target people only connected to GiveMN or not connected, or people whose friends are connected to GiveMN. There are even more advanced targeting options.Now we’re all on the other side of the Facebook privacy debate! This is personal information on Facebook made available for us to target our advertising. How does it feel? : )
- The next section allows you to set your budget and schedule for the ad. (This section is slightly different for sponsored stories).
- For sponsored stories, this section looks a little different. It allows you to set your budget and start promoting the post right away. If you select “like my page” under objective, the pricing will be determined by impressions, not clicks. If you choose “click on my ad or sponsored story” under objective, pricing can be set a bid price for each click.
- Why Facebook Ads? Reach more people. Targeted advertising.Promote your posts. You can set the budget. You get analytics of every ad campaign from Facebook.Mobile advertising. A study by TBG Digital showed that Facebook mobile ads were clicked 13x more than desktop ads. (Mobile only is available to API and Power Editor users only)

- Groups, as opposed to Pages, are designed to facilitate online community-building. The mere fact that admins must post as people changes the internal dynamic of the group conversation. It becomes more personal. Group members are notified when anyone posts, as opposed to relying on it appearing in a news feed. The conversation tends to focus on issues, experiences, and connections.
