The document discusses 3 approaches for improving how organizations use social media. It recommends: 1) Driving social media efforts towards specific business objectives like awareness, donations, or community building. 2) Creating useful, value-driven content rather than advertisements since people are more likely to share useful content than ads. 3) Designing content using the S.T.E.P.P.S framework (Social, Triggers, Emotion, Public, Practical, Stories) to increase shareability.
