Notas do Editor
- My focus is on empowering clients to tell their story expertly and effectively, in a manner that supports their overall marketing goals.
- I had blogged in my previous job, but used it similarly to a regular website. I didn’t “need” the many: many communication capability the way we needed it during this crisis.
- You’ve heard of the book “Accidental Tourist” (also a movie with William Hurt.)? We were an accidental non-profit. We formed a team organically to address the needs of the situation. Unlike a regular, established organization we didn’t have clear long-term goals. At the beginning we used cell phones and email to keep network posted, but we soon tired of repeating the same news over and over. When others repeated it (too far from the source) we suffered from the telephone game phenomenon.
- We didn’t know we needed Web 2.0, a platform that allows members of the network to connect directly to any other member, while still providing a central place for the people in charge of outbound communication to share their central message.
- Social media isn’t easy, but it isn’t hard either. You need to have a plan and treat it like you do the rest of your marketing plan.It’s also not free. (It’s free like a St. Bernard puppy is free – it will cost you over the long haul, but you’re still probably pretty glad to have the puppy.) Your time isn’t free so make sure you track your efforts to make sure you’re getting expected results with your focused efforts.
- Is social media the best thing since sliced bread? Is it the silver bullet? Nope. It’s pretty good, but unfocused efforts are (very) unlikely to yield the results you want to see.
- Which one do you think will start a fire? The kids playing at it in the backyard are treating it like a fun experiment; it could happen, but it’s not likely. All alone on a desert island, you might be pretty motivated to make a fire and more likely to focus your efforts to get the necessary result.Which style best reflects your organization’s current approach?
- There is no easy button. Sorry about that. But compared to what? Does your annual gala get put together all by itself? How about your newsletter? Why do we think social media should be magical?
- Your unique communication blueprint depends on who you are as an organization, who you serve, your network of donors and volunteers, etc. Where are they spending time online? What information do they expect from you?
- What have I said about this in the past? http://southshoregrants.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/come-on-in-the-water-is-fine/How I got started -- we couldn’t have been more non-profit than this... share story of Julie.Web 1.0 tools weren’t cutting it.Takeaway lessons:Make sure your website company is socially aware. Websites are still vitally important. Push/pull. Organic vs. paid.Free tools. Free like a St. Bernard puppy? $15k in costs over its lifetime. Better to pick a few things that you can do well, than to take on too much.Some in the moment posts were effective -- this is happening “RIGHT NOW”! Use that type of update with some reservation. People are a little overstimulated lately with so much messaging and asks happening. Reserve this for concentrated times of focus and increased need.Better: talk from the heart. Tell your story. Successes, setbacks, challenges. Acknowledge help and let everyone’s contribute in their unique way. Develop a voice, but offer guest post opportunities (crowd sourcing)Cultivate connections from all sources, get the team involved and get their networks engaged and talking to one another. Illustrate 1:1 efforts vs. many: many. Create the space for this conversation to happen -- don’t broadcast, facilitate, seed, connect, thank, share, ask.Book club friendsFamilyTeam members’ Facebook friendsResources we didn’t even think to ask for were made available -- give everyone a place to plug in and feel includedFree place to stayMeals showed upPress coverageDoctors recommendedBenefit stagedPrayers offersLayer on the social media layer when you’re doing what you would normally do anywayRaiser’s Edge Twitter integration: http://forums.blackbaud.com/forums/t/19878.aspxEmail signature.

- In the social media world, we are still trail blazing to some extent. Even if you don’t know exactly where you’re going, you still need to chart the best course you can and be willing to make corrections as necessary.
- With no goals set and shared, efforts are not likely to be focused.
- Fresh content keeps visitors coming back.
- A picture tells 1000 words. Integrate multimedia into your posts. Example: client did a bike raffle and just listed the price. Take a picture of the bike, much better. At events take pictures or video, get permission to use. Get testimonial videos from clients served, volunteers or board members. Get multiple perspectives.
- Use multi-media to capture your story in whatever way works best for you. Gary Vaynershuk doesn’t like to write so he does a video blog. Don’t pound a square peg into a round hole—find what works for you and keep doing it.
- Scan images, upload whitepapers as pdfs, digitize!Curate information and shareSet up Google AlertsScheduling for things like Hootsuite.
- Measure key outcomes most important for your organization as well as for each team member.
- Add blog functionality to your site if you don’t have it already. Make every post sharable.Make the connect, sign up for email and donate buttons as easy to find as possibleIntegrate your sites together. Just because someone finds you in one place doesn’t mean that’s the best place for them to consume your informationSocial media update time for your team -- coordinated, focused effort
- Messaging style is different in 2.0. Even after you get a fan to like you, a Twitter follower to follow or a LinkedIn connection to link, you still have to earn their attention and their reciprocity. Extend care nurturing these relationships, similarly to any social relationships you care about.
- Create FB events and invite people or use Eventbrite
- The days of asking people to “forward an email” should be over. There are much easier ways available today. Make sure you’re not asking your supporters to do extra work. Round up your partners. Like their pages on Facebook. Follow them on Twitter. Link to them on LinkedIn.
- Watch for TMI (too much information). Facebook advises that one great quality post per day is preferred to multiple posts daily of lesser quality.
- Quality posts are visually engaging, ask questions rather than broadcast a message, integrate multi-media or other links and provide information specific to your organization.
- My family had very focused efforts for a relatively short duration (6 months). The “ROI” showed up in ways that weren’t always easy to measure, but these are some of the highlights.
