  • #9 Keep these goals in mind, it will help you identify who your audience is, where they are communicating in the social sphere, and how you should frame your messages to talk to them.
  • #15 charity: water is the first Twitter result when using the search term “nonprofit.” The organization’s focus is clear and so are their tweets, many of which focus on celebrating individual supporters, small donors and partners. Tweets feature a compelling teaser, which links back to their website.
