A social network is defined as a chain of
individuals and their personal connections.
Expanding one’s connections with other people is
a technique that can be used both for personal or
business reasons. Social networking applications
make use of the associations between individuals
to further facilitate the creation of new
connections with other people. This could be
used to meet new friends and connect with old
ones, as many people do on Facebook, or to
expand one’s professional connections through a
business network like LinkedIn.
Why non-profits should utilize social media, which tools should they use, what do they need to know to get started and what resources are available for them.

Social media is PEOPLE FIRST, NOT TOOLS.What’s new with social media? What’s new with YOUR NONPROFIT?Helps nonprofits capture the “long tail of marketing”Every nonprofit is famous to 15 people. Who are your 15 people?
Whisper down the lane.What are the pros and cons of whisper down the lane.Even if your clear the message can change. Loss of control.
We are considering social media for important reasons, not just because it’s cool or trendy. It’s been proven to have positive business impact when the right conditions are met.It’s where the people are.Nonprofits always ask – how can I find donors, raise more money, get more people to events?
Wealthy donors tend not to look up you’re your financials on Guidestar or your website.They ask their friends for recommendations.Maybe ask them via facebook – or don’t even ask, but see the nonprofits that their friends are ‘fans’ of. How can you be one of the orgs they ‘recommend?”
New way of doing business – your new staff will assume you have a facebook page.
Without social media you would have a different president.WHY?Connected to the basic principles of social mediaRIGHT TIME (time when people were desperate for change. Strong motivating factors.)RIGHT MESSAGE (authentic message, people believed that he could DEVLIVER that change.)EASY TO ACT (campaign asked for specific actions and made it easy, you could donate $5, you could make calls, you could volunteer on election day….)HOW CAN YOUR NONPROFIT DO THE SAME ON A SCALED DOWN BASIS?
Now we know the basic concepts behind social media – and why we want to use it…Let’s learn a little more about four mainstay tools: FB, Twitter, Blogs, YouTubeSee an example of what each does…Weigh pro’s and con’s (you can relate them to your nonprofit’s goals.)
Likes long walks on the beach…
YouTube’s Nonprofit ChannelMuch of what we do is more powerful when people see it.
A little complicated..>Looks good at first – but sometimes you have to put some work into it to get it to be what you want it to be. Do some digging to find what you want.
“It’s just lunch.”Micro-bloggingAllows you to share short snippets of information, link, time sensitive announcements, organized a large group (advocacy)
Tweetsgiving – one chosen nonprofit. Twitter community goal of raising $10,000 in 48 hours for that org.Twestival – Global or local. A series of events (in person) organized on twitter to raise $ for 137 nonprofits in 2010.
Dialogue drive means people expect a response from YOUALL you say online never goes away. Twitter more than any other tool give you the ability to express yourself in a personal and emotionally responsive way.
Online diary webpage, free and easy to brand to each nonprofits style. Easy to post content, photos, video, links.Easy for users to navigate.
Besides the obvious good of having a free website… how can you leverage your blog?
Summary:All of these tools should be used towards a specific, measurable goal.The worst thing I have seen companies do is jump in and out of multiple tools just to “see” if it “works.”Define what success would be to your org. even if it’s just that you want to see an increase in blog readership from 0 to 20 readers in 6 months because you’re goal is to build an educated base. Or one donation via your facebook page in the first 3 months of operationNew audiences are already online and maybe some you already know, but mostlyYou are going to have to develop a plan to move your traditional audience to an online audience
