Editor's Notes

  • #2 ASHLY
  • #3 ASHLY
  • #4 ASHLY Lotus Marketplace – April 1990 New product that contained names, addresses, and purchasing behavior of 120 million Americans Consumers used message boards and email to contact Lotus and learn how to opt out of list 30,000 people were able to opt out  Considered the first online protest Lotus decided not to release its database
  • #5 ASHLY Moveon.org - 1998 Simple online petition Designed to send the message “Censure President Clinton and Move on to Pressing Issues Facing the Nation” to Congress Originally sent out to 100 family members and friends Had 100,000 signatures within one week
  • #6 ASHLY
  • #7 ASHLY Create a team of passionate people Choose platforms based on desired reach, audience, and interaction Keep accounts active Encourage people to stay involved and persuade them to take action Target audience should feel “heard and important” Stay on top of the “social good” culture Maintain your brand message Be “transparent, energetic, and authentic”
  • #8 ASHLY Stephanie Dickard at Wide Angle Youth Media Has worked with The MAGIC Foundation and Road Recovery “ We utilize media to: promote our programming and events, discuss issues that are important to us as an organization, and engage with our community ” “ Locally, I have seen social media change how individuals find events put on by nonprofits, along with how these stories are pitched to the media. Social media is based on relationships, and those relationships help build awareness for non profits.” “ Be genuine , give just as much as you want back, and don ’ t try to reach everyone , find your audience . ” Great guide: www.nonprofitmarketingguide.com
  • #9 ASHLY Peter Jackson GiveCorps “ Our goal was and is to create a platform that makes it fun, easy and rewarding to learn more and get involved with these organizations in an effort to help them grow their current base of supporters ” “ Everyday we bring attention to the work organizations are doing in Baltimore through social media and email. Often people don't realize the amazing things that nonprofits are doing in their own backyard. . ” “ Social media makes giving mainstream and allows organizations to achieve the same collective impact but relying on a greater number of people to do it. And ultimately, I think that's more valuable, because even if the dollars raised between 1,000 younger givers and one foundation grant are the same, there's 1,000 people talking about that organization/social campaign.. ” Network for Good infographic
  • #10 ASHLY Tristan Pollock SocialEarth “ From Twitter chats to Facebook pages, social media is a widely used platform for activists and ethical business alike. It allows people all over the world to gather instantly while also providing a two-way conversation when problems need to be addressed. ” “ Don't reinvent the wheel , at first. See what's out there. Find out how successful campaigns were accomplished. Then be creative and monitor your success . If one avenue isn't working, another might. It all depends on who you're trying to reach. ” Check out Good.is

I know what’s going on in my country, I’m more interested in the environment and I recycle… This is because of Sophia and her tweets” Little Voice @cathrine89. Sophia rallies every day on Twitter for various topics close to her heart, posting articles, retweeting information, and is notably passionate about Environmental Issues and Human/Animal Rights.
