Editor's Notes
- Sept 17 th we will be launching our new LI for Nonprofit landing page and announcing the Board Connect program with a ton of press and landing page to point folks to: linkedin.com/nonprofits (see current design attached).
- Create economic opportunity for everyone around the world
- Really focused on skill based volunteering Employee facing-to change the world Member facing- Nonprofit facing-tips you can use today to help build your organizations objectives
- The Logitech case study is available online at http:/talent.linkedin.com/resources
- Chronicle of philanthropy has over 45K members; last 1.5 years humanitarian professionals has gone from 1 to 7K members. Bry tried to join and was declined.
- Personal brand & organization brand
- Not just you-but your board members, donors and volunteers to add this. When you add this it goes out virally to your network of supporters. Someone with 500 connections adds a volunteer field and says they care about Habitat for Humanity. Get pushed out to their connections
- Vital b/c it is viral- Halfway to our first milestone-critical point of adoption. Education and civic interest. Populate this-important part of your brand MK to use her profile
- Only 10% designated their admin. Who can they email about this info? Be an admin with your real estate. Most of you are not. This is a place to tell your story. Getting thousands of visits per month and you don’t know. Getting very little out. Fill out the rest of the free real estate. If you don’t see this blue box-please email lcshelp@linkedin.com Tell your story-working on nonprofit friendly name. Status update on your company page-status update feature. Send/message your followers (=tweet) 500 character limit, can add photos and videos. Light weight email management campaign. Can measure the impact; see the likes & shares can be measured. You can see the # of impressions that saw your status update as well as the # of people that interacted.
- Human rights watch-Amnesty international Status updates-what do people share?
- NC did something really cool-posted their volunteer opps. When someone recommends a vol. opp, it gets pushed out to their network…again, the viral nature at work. Help spread the info.
- Power of the advanced search.
- We are looking for skilled volunteers, supporter in the local area, board members. Look at and feel.
- Top result-I am connected to her, serves up your first and second degree connections. LI is an orga that wants to focus on the energy on the free member experience. 2 member being added every second. Of course we offer other options –use your member log in. Now you need our help with that. Very individual driven, not this. Free member log in you can do XYZ.
- LI-critical business platform. Be an intentional connector. Not just the job of marketing and fundraising. External/internal people.
- Trying to get a million people to sign up for volunteer causes by year end.
