It outlines practical strategies for organizations to utilize social media, including setting clear goals, understanding their audience, and fostering two-way conversations. Additionally, it discusses how to overcome barriers in social media use, enhance visibility, and measure success through meaningful engagement rather than just metrics.

South West Forum - Social Media Workshop 23rd June 2010
- 1. Using Social MediaEffectively 23 rd June 2010
- 2. “ Social Media.They get all excited about gleaming technology and clever gizmos. They talk in acronyms and begin sentences with: “Did you know you can..” The rest of us just want to get on with campaigning, fundraising or service delivery. We want to talk about the people we work with, the communities we’re in and the issues we’re passionate about. We want to find and talk to people who can help us get change, deliver services or make a difference”. Well, Social Media is about all that, telling stories and having conversations, having a space to do that … it just happens that the space is on a computer. (From ‘How to use New Media’ - Media Trust).
- 3. Old media -Web 1.0 . . . . . static websites with no interaction, text heavy content. Information was just fed TO viewers (Others – if you dare!)
- 4. New media -Web 2.0 ... . . is interactive websites, open comments allowed, conversations and social networking WITH viewers encouraged
- 5. Rise of ‘Homo Interconnecticus’ 2009 was the Year of Social Media Facebook use in the UK is now 23 million , a third of the population, up from a fifth in 2008 In Jan 2010 Facebook had more global visitors than Google Research claims that social networking is slowly replacing email Statistics show that 25% users are aged 35 - 44 The story so far...
- 6. 1/3 of thecountry and more than 50% of internet users are on Facebook
- 7. Use of socialnetworks and blogs now accounts for almost 23% of time spent on the internet in the UK, which is a 159% increase over the last 3 years
- 8. Social networks aredifferent to broadcast media Social networks are relational not transactional tools. Social media rewards Generosity Other-centeredness Helpfulness 20-to-1 rule you should make 20 relational ‘deposits’ for every marketing ‘withdrawal’ Relevance is key – its all about engagement Tailor made for community organisations, volunteering and voluntary action!
- 9. The internet asa friendly conversation The art of conversation is to listen more than you talk – it’s a two way process Read and Listen – find out what is happening already Link and Share – and link again! Its these links that keep the conversation flowing Comment and Feedback – agree or disagree, this is what builds communities around a topic Say “Thank You” – as social media is more about the links, introductions and relationships than the technology Be Helpful – share what you have and you’ll be amazed when you get back!

- 17. Think of aone-line scenario that your community has experience of, or that’s related to what your organisation does Spend FIVE minutes expanding on this, describe and write down the scenario / your community e.g. - local community support organisation helping young mums - national campaigning body raising awareness of drug use - regional network promoting communication about funding etc.
- 18. GOALS Think about:The issues the group faces Goals you would you like to achieve Challenges to meeting these goals Communication needs ---
- 19. ENGAGEMENT Now thinkof : Possible engagement methods Ways you’d like to work Ideas that could help the group ---
- 20. How are youcommunicating now What is your cause or campaign? What are the issues and challenges you face? What is holding you back? What methods of communication are you using? What are their limitations?
- 21.
- 22. What is themessage? We know WHO we are talking to Now need to look at WHAT we are saying Find out the most suitable communication method and best WAY to say it
- 23. Addressing concerns “I worry that it’s not finished” – in fact often a half formed blog post can be more inspiring and create a bigger conversation than a polished piece. “ People pretend to be someone they aren’t” – the social web is about individuals not corporate viewpoints. You’ll find your voice weakened if you ‘spin’ ... And others will see through it! “ I worry about being in a vacuum” – follow the tips, linking, connecting and conversing and soon people will do the same for you – it’s true! “ How do I measure success?”– if you’re reaching the right people it’s quality not quantity that counts “ What happens if I ignore people?” – they invest time reading what you say so do the same for them.

Editor's Notes
- #3 The language of social media, social networking, new media, etc – has not yet been clearly associated with the needs of the sector – but the links are clear once you understand how social media works and can effectively support key tasks
- #4 Nothing more than to signify a difference between the way the Internet has been used since the early 1990s (Web 1.0 or the old web) and how it is being used now (Web 2.0) and the difference between printed traditional media and something newer.
- #5 Web 2.0 is a collection of tools, applications and changes in working practice that have enabled people in communities to become more connected, to network with their peers and to collectively campaign as force not possible before. It has enabled supporting organisations develop a new way of working with their members; getting the message to them faster by using new techniques (all the senses not just printed word) and has allowed members to directly comment on and influence the organisations direction. Social Media is a way of using tools and platforms running on the Internet to instantly collaborate, share information and experiences, or have a conversation ideas or causes we care about. It’s a world where anyone can be a publisher, a reporter, an artist, a filmmaker, a photographer or pundit …. even an activist or citizen philanthropist!
- #9 Importance of relationship management and development – it’s the life blood of social networks
- #19 e.g. Young people not attending school or isolation of older people
- #20 The values have been chosen in some cases to reflect the complexity of the engagement method or the tool. They give an indication of not just the money that may need to be invested but also the manual time and effort they may need. If you think of any Engagement methods or Tools that aren’t on any of the cards then you can write your own on the “Your Idea” cards, these have a value of zero points ... But you may be asked to explain why you choose this idea to us all!
- #26 Invite people to indicate which of these they know and/or have used. Are there any which people don’t know? We will cover each of these in more detail later on
- #27 O - Also. What are your organisation goals A – Also. What are your social media goals, who are your audience, where are they? S – Plan how to achieve these – social media guide I – Also. Try out - Implement S - Also. Monitor
- #30 Daunting representation of the size of the social media / social networking internet world Notice also that much of this technology is MOBILE so no longer just something to use on your PC but many other ways to stay connected and networked
- #45 A separate blog isn’t something NAVCA have tried although we have had blogs for conferences and individual staff do post on navcaboodle blogs. Important to enable (moderated) comments if you are serious about audience feedback
- #46 Telford & Wrekin CVS
- #47 Facebook – become a fan of .... .... This is an example of an LIO using Facebook to bring together pictures and events and potentially to gain extra supporters who would not have found them otherwise. .... Also heard of a Kids organisation in Herefordshire who needed supporting statements and testimonies for a funding application. They set up a Facebook Group and in just 3 days got 49 statements for the bid from their friends and users of the organisation who were already on Facebook. Important point, as with all social media – don’t establish a presence on Facebook and then tell existing followers (or people you hope to interest) that they must get a Facebook account. This won’t work! Use Facebook (etc.) to connect with people who are already 100% conversant with the platform but who you’d like to target as followers. Also mention Bebo (aimed at a younger age group) and MySpace (very good for musicians) LinkedIn (more professional business use)
- #48 Another new video – from Doncaster CVS has already been watched 202 times. More relevant for groups and funders in Doncaster wanting to know what the CVS does. These are both quick, low cost and easy to make.
- #49 Also used at NAVCA events and conferences – large photo sharing section on navcaboodle All pictures loaded on any Flickr account that are given the same tag will appear together when searched for. Again, has RSS feed so you can be alerted of updates
- #50 Over 3000 unique visitors (early 2010) Over 40 groups Over 1000 members Many active discussion, pictures, videos Not as powerful or rich in features as the individual elements of social media, but a very effective way to quickly build your own social network with many social media functions. High degree of control over user access to groups and discussions, possible to set up hidden or invitation only groups. Facilities to include pictures, video, audio, chat and file uploads, also many application written available as plug ins. Simple and menu driven, can also use own HTML code and with CSS knowledge design templates and logos to insert. Free version has (targeted) adverts which can be removed for a £20/month fee
- #52 Sites like this and Twitscoop show what people are saying right now on Twitter across the whole world. Not the news on the TV tonight after it has happened or the news tomorrow in the newspaper but what is important now.
- #55 The values have been chosen in some cases to reflect the complexity of the engagement method or the tool. They give an indication of not just the money that may need to be invested but also the manual time and effort they may need. If you think of any Engagement methods or Tools that aren’t on any of the cards then you can write your own on the “Your Idea” cards, these have a value of zero points ... But you may be asked to explain why you choose this idea to us all! These are not to replace existing ways of working with communities, but to look at new ideas that social media technology offers that could make the work more effective.
- #56 Add up to 20 to match the Engagement activities you have selected and the Tools you have chosen to use
- #57 O - Also. What are your organisation goals A – Also. What are your social media goals, who are your audience, where are they? S – Plan how to achieve these – social media guide I – Also. Try out - Implement S - Also. Monitor
- #58 Encourage people to take ideas covered so far and link them back to their own development worker roles – which bits did they really feel would be beneficial to organisations? Where are there further learning needs? Which bits did they feel do not apply? General reflections? How does using social media apply during the recession? What advantages can it bring? What disadvantages? This seems very positive, but the decision to deploy a Web 2.0 enhancement on your site should be guided by the same straightforward marketing and communications questions that shape any project that has customers at its heart.
