What is social
media?
It’s about reaching and connecting people
Ten ideas to keep in mind
    when it comes to
social media and your org
1. Take a deep breath, and let go.
   You're not in control anymore.

2. Stop, look and listen.
  Tie your goals to what people need,
and meet your audiences where they are.

Listening Online
• Set up Google alerts, Technorati search,
  Twitter search
  http://socialmedia-listening.wikispaces.com/Tools

   • Your organization’s name
   • Program or event names
   • Peer/competitor names and program/event names
   • Individuals connected to your organization
   • Your tagline or other key phrases
   • URL for any web properties (main website, blog)
   • Related issues/topics
   • Common misspellings

3. Build your strategy around reality.
 Select the tools based on their purpose,
your audience, and what you can manage
              re: staff time/$.

4. Remember what you learned in kindergarten.
       Be nice, share, and say thank you.




                                     © OMP Production
5. Emphasize the social in social media.
   Use pictures + videos to share stories.
   Schedule calls, meetups, and events
      to connect online communities.




                                 © NeighborWorks America
6. Get personal.
     Pick the right staff
and let them be themselves.




                              © candleshoe
7. Be flexible.
Your community will move around;
  the tools are going to change.




                              © coolfunblog
8. Don't forget your website + integration.
    Bring all your online communications
      together and repurpose content.




                                        © fhoke.com
9. Change how you define success.
   It's about content over numbers.
 Building relationships v. “marketing”.




                               © canuuwomenhistory.ca
Defining Success
 •   Increased awareness of your cause
 •   Shift in your org’s perception
 •   New program participants
 •   Increased requests for your
     info/programs
 •   Pageviews/clicks/comments/etc.
 •   New email addresses/contact info
 •   Signatures/actions taken
 •   Dollars raised
 •   Mentions online
10. Pause and evaluate.
 Keep listening and give yourself time to
build community, trust, and conversation.
