Editor's Notes
- AAUW National Convention
- Demystifying Social Media
- Presenters: Amy Blackwell, Alan Callander, Jean Lotz, Peggy Woods-Clark
- The #hashtag for this workshop is #aauw11ws04
- Some of the potential topics we may cover as the workshop proceeds. In “slide show” mode, these are hyperlinks to the appropriate group of slides.
- What do we hope to accomplish? AAUW Visibilitiy Name Recognition Mission Understanding Active Advocacy Audience Reputation and Trust Amongst an audience of The General Public Potential Members Younger Women
- At best, social media allows for interaction, dialogue, sharing, CONVERSATION. If potential “fans” or “friends” are blocked, conversation becomes preaching, a sermon. It is not longer social.
- So how do we do that? How do we identify and assess the available tools to find the ones that will meet our objectives? We begin by identifying our Objectives (Institutional, Departmental, Programmatic) What Are We Trying to Accomplish? Grow Membership, Increase Donations, Call People to Action, Spread the Word about Our Research, Invite Others to Our Events Who Are We Trying to Reach? Students Graduates Working Women Business Owners Parents Men, Women, Youth What is Our Timeframe? Immediately, This Week, Over the Year
- We next consider our resources: What kind of connectivity to the internet do we have? Broadband, DSL, Cable Modem, Dial-up? What computer hardware do we have available, is it fast enough, enough memory (Windows, OS X, Unix, etc.)? What software do we already own, what is the budget for software we buy? How much time can we commit to the effort, to acquiring the necessary resources, learning? If you browse the net, then you can use social media tools. Nearly all social tools are available on all major computers and operating systems. Dial-up may involve a slower screen refresh, but the tools are still the same.
- And we consider the people behind the tools. Here we ask who is interested and vested in the purpose, what experience/expertise do they bring, and how does their personality complement, enable effective use of varioius tools (for example, what is the comfort level with the tasks involved and the technology. For Twitter this may mean finding someone very extraverted, but pithy and concise)
- Batgirl Example Then we take these and align them. If our objectives are to attract young women to become members, what tools and resources can we tap to reach these future members where they are, and who is best prepared for the task. AAUW won ’t merely attempt to replicate successful strategies from other organizations, but rather develop its own tailored and uniquely successful strategy—one responsive to the specific ambitions, audiences, and activities of AAUW and its stakeholders.In choosing platforms, triangulation and targeting key areas of concern are required.• Triangulation involves identifying specific objectives, available resources, and appropriate personnel. • Targeting involves positioning this triangulated effort over appropriate populations. • The purpose of this strategy is to align messenger with message, objective, and audience. Answering the questions, identifying the objectives, resources, and people accurately will go a long way in building an effective, sustainable social media effort. Every branch, every entity answers these questions differently and so stories of success using one approach is rarely a recipie for absolute success for you. Taking the time and approaching the challenge methodically dramatically improves the odds in your favor. What are your experiences developing a social media strategy.
- So using this model, or as best we can use any model, AAUW and many of its branches have primarily focused their attention on these tools. Some others include Capwiz, EventBrite, Photobucket, Flickr, Meet-Up etc. At different times, meeting different objectives, different tools are used by different people. You could say this is our Social/Online media portfolio.
- We can use social media to advocate for AAUW AAUW social media entities have been created primarily to reach out to the general public, hopefully reaching future members; rather than used as just another tool to keep AAUW ’s existing members informed of AAUW news. We are expanding AAUW ’s name recognition, promoting AAUW’s mission, advocating action on important issues, potentially increasing AAUW’s grassroots political base and potentially increasing membership.
- This chart shows the percentage of adult internet users, grouped by age, answering that they use social tools.
- Facebook ’s Ad stats
- 2009 Facebook users grouped by age.
- 2010 Facebook users grouped by age
- Side-by-side Facebook user age DISTRIBUTION for the years 2009-2010.Note that the total for each year is 100% (rounded). Facebook is nearly 700 million users!
- Our out national AAUW Facebook page user age distribution. An important takeaway here is that 42% of our Facebook fans are between 25 and 44 years old and a quarter are 55 and older.
- This slide is the basic content template for any info/bullet points/photos that you ’d like to share
- This is an example of an individual PROFILEview
- Standard navigation controls are on the top right and down the left side. Your Wall content is in the middle.
- Tighten your privacy settings for you own protection. Most of the information is optional. Don ’t provide your phone number, your address, or where you work if you don’t want to.
- Facebook offers: Individual PROFILES for individuals NOT for AAUW branches or states. There is a conversion utility if a branch profile is created instead of a group or page. PAGES for businesses, personalities, and organizations Page posts are pushed out to each fan ’s news feed COMMUNITY PAGES (not recommended at this time) GROUPS (in a new more useful format) Group activity is noted (but not the actual content) next to the group name on member ’s HOME PAGES. It is enough to encourage some to return to the group to check out the new posts and comments. Members can automatically add any friend to an open group (some people do NOT like this new feature of groups) Anyone can become a fan or join an open group. If they become disruptive, administrators can quickly remove them and their posts.
- A branch or state page is an excellent place to post news about what you are doing. Show off photos and promote attendance by creating events whereadministrators and members can invite friends.
- Twitter is considered a “microblogging” broadcasting tool where people wirte very short status updates called “Tweets.” Snce each tweet Is limited to 140 characters, abbreviations are often used along with some special characters. Twitter is a valuable breaking news channel and increasingly common. Twitter can be used to follow, in real- or near-real-time, the activities at a remote event.
- A hashtag is merely a keyword prefaced by the symbol “#” Using #hashtags, Twitter users can follow specific subjects like #aauw, #aauw11 (the 2011 AAUW National Convention), #potus (President of the United States), #vaw (violence against women).
- Tweets are limited to 140 characters so Twitter tools often use URL shorteners like bit.ly, to preserve space in the tweet for the actual message.
- Spread the news, but give credit with a “re-tweet.” Most Twitter applications will automatically add the “RT” infront of the tweet you are re-tweeting, but you can also add it manually.
- A handful of popular #hashtags you may see on AAUW tweets. #aauw11 is the #hashtag being used for the 2011 AAUW Convention.
- You might link to any content on the web: videos, blogs, web pages, news stories, etc. Let your friends know what you are interested in and passionate about.
- You might also like to become friends with those you notice contributing to discussion you agree with.
- You might also like to become friends with those you notice contributing to discussion you agree with.
- As yoyu can see, Facebook advertising can be very targeted to esactly who you might want to reach. The results were satisfactory: We got 755,923 impression. 17,923 (2.37%) were “social impressions” (where they saw where a friend liked the ad or page). But we ONLY paid for actual clicks! We got 128 clicks (1 was a “social click”) At the time, the average cost per click was $1.17 (advertising prices have gone up since business and politicians have learned to use them.) Total $149.84 Measurable results: The AAUW-Loisianna page grew from 104 to 130 fans during this period.
