Editor's Notes
- Again, back to rule #1- People are Lazy. Give them as many detailed examples as possible. Write the tweets for them. Write the facebook posts for them. They will still probably not post, but important to try because they like to feel like included in the process. Plus if they don’t participate one reason for getting new people on volunteer groups.
