5 Easy Steps to a Member Community Social Media Plan
                        (Share this with volunteers!)

1 โ€“ Be Clear on the Why
Determine A Goal to Reach For โ€ฆ start small, think bigger
      Chapter Tip: Start by picking a focused project: e.g., creating conference buzz;
      building a knowledge base; facilitating a work group; sharing photos

      Coaching Opportunity: Help chapters set measurable metrics that they can achieve &
      celebrate like creating buzz as measured by # of fans, # of LinkedIn subgroup
      members; # of blog posts, # of subscribers to webpage feed, blog feed.

2 โ€“ Know the Who
Understand Your Main Audience โ€ฆ are they already there? What grabs their
interest (itโ€™s still about content!)?
      Chapter Tip: Go where they are already! Poll members or compare your email lists
      against user lists on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

      Coach Opportunity: Share with chapters what you know about members nationally
      including what issues they care about (to build engaging content!); motivations for
      connecting; ways they connect; social media usage patterns

3 โ€“ Tally Your Resources
You need enthusiastic members, a good coach (thatโ€™s where the national org can
come in!)
      Chapter Tip: Begin with a social media team with a champion & talent pool

      Coach Opportunity: Be one of their resources! Offer webinars on setting up
      Facebook, Twitter etc.; encourage chapters to share their links & stories; actively
      promote social media efforts of all chapters; create award for creative social media
      programs

4 โ€“ Get in the Know
Take the time to learn the tools and understand the community
      Chapter Tip: Do your homework โ€“ listen, learn, practice (okay itโ€™s really play!),
      launch

      Coach Opportunity: Share ideas; consider creating a space where members can try
      out tools, follow Twitter searches or feeds that help understand members and social
      media community

5 โ€“ Jump In
With a plan mapped out, give it a go!
      Chapter Tip: Be sure to ask the folks you connect with what worked & didnโ€™t work;
      then tweak

      Coach Opportunity: Help each chapter develop content & an action plan that
      leverages tools and focuses on community
