Facebook Profile

profile is complete
and clearly
identifies you as a
Rotarian
• Add the volunteer
experiences and
causes section
LinkedIN: Building Trust
26. • Use keyword searches to seek out and
connect with like-minded individuals
(Rotary youth alumni, local businesses,
project partners, guest speakers)
• Never-ever use the default connection
message
LinkedIN: Creating a Connected Network
27. • Share a mix of professional and Rotary
content
• Don’t reveal all. Curiosity=clicks
• Consider linking your accounts so that
LinkedIn flows through to Twitter then
Facebook. (Don’t do this in reverse)
LinkedIN: Individual Sharing
28. • Join groups related to your profession as
well as networking groups

it has relevance for the group

personal and professional reputation.
LinkedIN: Groups

app– use the filters to add buzz
to your pics and connect with
the youthful Rotary/Rotaract
Instagram community.
• Share some of your Instagram
content to Facebook
• Use #hashtags in Instagram
Complementary social
networks
30. • Pinterest is a graphic-
rich social network
that uses themed
boards to tell stories
very powerfully.
• Worth considering as
an extension to your
club web presence.
Complementary social
networks
31. • Buy your club 2 or 3 small
cameras (or more) and share
them round so you get LOTS
of pics from different angles.
• Use captions and descriptions
on your pictures. These are
vital.
• Tag people in pics if possible.
Image Wars
32. • Have smiling lessons. Dour frowning pics
are bad. (we need lots of smiling Rotarian
pics!)
• Do NOT take pics of ‘executions’ (people
standing in line, usually frowning).
Image Wars
33. • Create a club media pool
and share content across
all club channels.
• Develop partnering
agreements with other
clubs
• Give each other content
creator rights to your
club Facebook pages.
Build Your Network(s)
34. • Involve everyone in the
preparation of your
social media content.
Almost anyone can write
a paragraph.
• Share your social media
content in more
traditional channels such
as your club bulletin.
Build Your Network(s)
35. • Does your club understand the benefits of
live updates from your club meetings and
events?
• Does your club fine you if you use social
media during your meetings?
• How will you change this?
Club Challenge

and share it using
#ricon14
