Engaging Donors in an Online Age for the JCC's of North America Professional ...Bridget Brandt
This presentation was a part of the 2011 JCC's of North America Professional Conference and provides ideas and tips for successful online fundraising and increasing donor engagement.
Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

25. Facebook Tips
1. Upload an Eye-Catching Photo Timeline is a very visual
format and creating a big, bold eye catching photo can
help increase page views.
2. Use a Clearly Branded Profile Picture With Timeline
brands cannot get that creative with their profile
pictures. Previously brands would place codes, marketing
messages and more into the profile picture. Now
Facebook recommends simply creating a clear brand
picture for the profile photo.
3. All Milestones To Company Pages Adding in key dates
can help fans learn about your brand with Timeline. Add
key company moments, store openings, events and more
with milestones.
4. Pin A Post a Week With Timeline brands can create a
―sticky‖ post that will stay as the top post for up to a
week.
5. Arrange Views and Apps Timeline allows pages to
arrange photos and custom apps at the top of the
page. This can help direct visitors to key locations or
photo collections on the page.
6. Manage Your Page With the upgrade to Timeline admins
can now manage their page through the Admin
Panel. The new panel allows admins to track activity,
respond and view real-time Facebook Insights.

28. About Pintrest
• Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.
Pinterest lets you organize and
share all the beautiful things you
find on the web. People use
pinboards to plan their weddings,
decorate their homes, and organize
their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse
pinboards created by other people.
Browsing pinboards is a fun way to
discover new things and get
inspiration from people who share
your interests. To get started,
request an invite.
28
29. Pintrest
The good
• Informal
• Get to know people better by their taste in food, decor and fashion.
• 97% of Pinterest’s Facebook fans are women, so good if you are targeting women.
• Huge traffic increase due to pins (a Pinterest term for pictures) that were shared
from their site.
• Very social.
• Control your experience based on who you follow.
The bad
• Understand that everything you share could go viral.
• All pins start out being linked to a site or uploaded from a computer. But somewhere
along the way many of the links get lost as pins get shared, so it’s not fool-proof.
• Simple ―post to Timeline‖ permission button. Clicking that button posts every single
pin you click on to Facebook for your friends, family, and colleagues. You’re a
considerate friend; so don’t fall for this innocent looking button anywhere online.
• Some pictures might not be appropriate for the kiddies. Be careful.
