A Functioning Site
Putting Social Media
In its Place!
Marketing has changed more in the last two years then in the preceding 50. However most people market as
though it’s still 2010. The moment Facebook went public the free ride was over. We’ve officially entered the age
of pay-to-play social media.
We focus on strategy over technology. Be
emphasizing mobile humans, how they
behave and what they need.
Getting Away From Facebook
Get digital data from non-digital activities.
Organization
It’s rare for smartphone owners to be
more that three feet from their device at
any given point.
Building the List
8. Elements of a Function Website
1. Looks Professional
2. Has clean easy to understand & navigate
3. Has professional images
4. Conveys a clear message
5. Is Mobile Friendly/Responsive
9. What People Think when You Don’t Have A
Properly Working Site
1. You aren’t a real organization
A. You can’t be trusted with money
B. You aren’t going to be effective
2. You aren’t forward thinking
10. Reason 1: I don’t need a website.
I use social media.
– What if Facebook/Twitter bans
your account?
– What if you are no longer
allowed to have access to your
social media account?
If you can’t control it controls YOU! Stop depending on social media.
11. Reason 2: Websites are too expensive.
– “Expensive” implies lack in value. It’s more
expensive not to have a website than having one.
– Controlling Your Own Site is like Buying Black.
12. Reason 3: I can e-mail people and let
them know what they need to know.
1. Your e-mails are probably going to spam
2. If not going to Spam they are probably not
getting opened
3. Having People come to you on THEIR terms is
more productive in many ways
13. Reason 4: “I don’t know how to get
{maintain/build} one.”
– It’s 2015 there is no more I don’t know
– Check your organization first
– Using WordPress is like sending an e-mail once it’s built. Can
you send an e-mail?
– There are places that offer $500 WordPress Sites
• So it doesn’t have to be “expensive”.
14. Reason 5: “I read somewhere that people
don’t use websites no more.”
1. Unread that now!
2. People confuse desktop
use with mobile use.
3. People still use the
internet and they view
stand alone sites more
than ever.
15. Sooo… I should Stop Using Social
Media and E-mail
But…They should be Secondary, not primary.
16. Recap: Benefits of Having a
Functioning Website.
1. YOU own your contacts and list, not some site that’s not in
your control.
2. You can create and post what ever you want without fear of
censorship
3. You attract more people and donations/ grants
4. You give people the option of really getting to research your
organization from YOUR point of view.
17. Social Media: Missing The Point!
• The whole point of social
media is to get people back
to your site to take some
desired action.
• If you use it in any other
way, you’re doing it wrong!
19. If You Only Learn 1 Thing
• The way the data is structured is exactly opposite!
• The LONGER a piece of content is in Google+ the MORE likely
it is to be found and you to get connected through it.
• The LONGER a piece of content is in Facebook the LESS likely
it is to be found.
It’s not all bad
22. Re-energize Evergreen Content
• Posts can still drive traffic years
later
• Once they become stale, edit
them, re-share, and it’s like a
new post but with built in social
proof.
• Google+ really is a different
animal and requires different
tactics.
23. Infiltration Mitigation
• Only real names on Google+.
• The old way SEO worked was keyword
driven.
• Now the web is more content and
contact based.
• Helps search rankings.
• When you connect on Google+ you
become more relevant to those
people.
• My search result won’t be the same as
your search results for the exact same
term because who we’re connected to
is different.
24. Who Owns What?
• You control NOTHING on Facebook.
• They’re renting YOUR audience to you!!!
• Free ride is OVER! Welcome to Pay-to-play
or
If you can’t control it controls YOU! Stop depending on social media.
25. Recap
• Facebook is still the best consumer targeting
money can buy!
• Still recommend PPC Display Ad Campaigns
– Just keep it in its place (don’t over-rely).
26. Email Autorepsonders
• Centralized Location
• Keep your Messages out of Spam
• Keep your message in front of your audience
on a timed message system
• Send current information immediately to your
e-mail list
Can be run by multiple people
27. Email Best Practices
• CAN-SPAM Act
– Fines up to $16,000 per email sent!
• 500 emails x $16,000 = $8,000,0000
• Scrub your list to remove lurkers
– Mitigate infiltration
28. The Power of Text Messaging
• Engagement is 2nd
to none!
– Seldom, if ever, ignored.
• Build email list
– Text opt-in
• Donations
