Let your people do the talking

Let your people do the talking
70% of us trust brand recommendations from
friends, but only 10% of trust ads from brands.
- Forrester Research

#1: Start with
people in your
database!
Your Community
Subscribers
Donors
Volunteers
Let your nodes do the talking

Your Network
Your community’s
family, friends and
acquaintances
#2: Create
content they
want to share
with their
friends!

What the heck is Edgerank?

Edgerank is an algorithm that determines
whether a speciﬁc Page story will appear
in the Newfeed of a speciﬁc fan.
It ranks your
content, not your
Facebook Page.

Three factors that determine Edgerank:
(1)Relationship between user and story
(2)How people talk about that story
(3)How recently the story was published

You win in the Newsfeed when:
(1) People increasingly talk about your content
(2) You skirt Edgerank with other channels
(3) You publish content your community loves
(4) You use Promoted Posts wisely
(5) You invest time into replying to commenters

Let the love in!
Conﬁguring your Page for maximum engagement

(1)Posting ability - Allowing users to post increases exposure for
your org through virality.
(2)Post visibility – If your org has a thriving community of
customers, displaying this section on your Page will help amplify
your community's voice on your Facebook Page simply
because what they post on your Page will have more visibility.
(3)Tagging Ability – This creates viral exposure when people tag
their friends
(4)Replies - This helps deepen discussions within comments

When to post content

HubSpot found that
8pm is best for
comments and likes,
6pm for shares

Conﬁrm this with
your Page Insights!

You can also use PostPlanner which has additional scheduling features.

But can you actually raise money?

.
.
?

First some numbers...
A Handshake is not the
best tool
to collect
money

Facebook is relational,
not transactional

Become aware of your cause when friends talk about your Page
Like,comment on,and share your updates
Continue engaging and like your Page
Advocate and/or join your email list
Trust and
affinity
This is where
viral reach is
created
Share their donation
on Facebook
Donate for the first time via email

Email acquisition and
advocacy are the best
ways to ﬁnd new
donors on Facebook
