Organizations Going Social:
WHY SHOULD I USE IT? wordle.net
Social media allows you to effectively reach people to: Establish yourself and enhance your image Promote your work, group, and events Build audience, donor, and stakeholder relationships Develop community around your mission Get immediate reviews and actionable feedback Manage volunteers and staff Research opportunities Make money …  all at the low, low price of time & dedication! The Future is Social
Many artists and non-profits don’t have the time or resources to invest in developing their own Web sites or social networking sites. Free online tools like blog applications, content management systems, and white label social networks can help you develop a Web presence quickly, easily, and cheaply. If you need to post some simple materials, and you're planning an open, collaborative outreach strategy that involves the type of people likely to be using those tools, then using those tools to create your Web presence may be a viable option. Be Seen: Establish a Web Presence
Social Media is one of the best ways to advocate for and promote your organization, programs, and initiatives. Microblogging platforms like Twitter and widgets like Causes in Facebook provide you with ways to quickly and easily trigger a “Butterfly Effect” that builds awareness and buzz for: Calls to Action Online Petitions Organizational Information and Updates Volunteer Recruitment and Mobilization Event Attendance Be Heard: Advocate & Promote
Encourage and respond to constituent feedback. Social networks are a great way to get open and honest feedback. Join the conversation to: Find out what people are saying about your organization  Correct any misunderstandings or misconceptions Address any issues Take steps to improve programs and services Research VIPs, potential donors, employees, and others. A vast amount of information about people is volunteered on social networking sites. You can use them to research: The history & interests of a potential donor or Board Member The background & affiliations of a potential employee Be Advised: Listen & Learn
The open, participatory Web 2.0 environment encourages user contribution, natural dialogue, and relationship building. Engage People to Build Your Audience and Community Get to know your market by visiting sites that appeal to them. Provide people with the means to easily interact with you. Cultivate a habit of keeping in touch. Support their interests and causes … they may return the favor. As you foster greater conversation, your message spreads via viral “word of mouth,” developing Fans, Evangelists, Citizen Marketers, and Brand Ambassadors who believe in you, support you, and are happy to be independently proactive on matters related to your group. Be a Friend: Build Relationships
HOW DO I GET STARTED? wordle.net
But Really: Is 2.0 Right for You? Before committing resources to pursuing a social media strategy or campaign, consider and assess the following:  Is your audience online?  How willing are you to experiment, take risks, and adapt? Are you ready to face bad news?  Do you have enough resources to pursue this?  Who will manage the strategy/campaign?  How will you incorporate it into day-to-day responsibilities?  How will you measure results?  How long are you willing to give it a try? Do you have group and/or stakeholder buy in?
Map Your Social Media Strategy Begin with the End in Mind Clearly define your goal(s): Where are you going? How will you get there? How will you know you’ve arrived? Yours could include: Increase audience / donor / member base Generate leads for new funding sources Build awareness and recognition Increase revenue Establish thought leadership Educate constituents Crowdsource projects Improve internal communications
Develop a Strategy: Structure Next, map the path you will take to achieve your goals. Address: Method : Determine the mix of content you’ll create, and design your/your group’s workflow around it.  Community : Address how you will reach out to and engage the people you seek to gather around your organization.  Communication : Build a “home” for your conversations and develop a consistent outreach schedule. Outposts : Cultivate social network outposts where you can communicate with others and share the way to your “home.” Design & Linkage : Link all profiles to target audiences, community sites, industry sites, business sites, portals, blogs
Develop a Strategy: Engage With your structure in place, commit to engagement: Attention : Learn how to build awareness and encourage relationships with the media you’re making. Participate : Regularly join in the conversation, posting comments, kudos, questions, etc. on other related sites. Listen : Implement a listening system or process that monitors your profiles/feeds to follow the conversation. Use Google (and Alerts) to monitor URLs and keywords Set up a Technorati account Track the number of your Feedburner subscribers Use Summize to follow Twitter feeds based on keywords Read and promptly respond to all comments, questions, and  conversations about your group and work
Remember: It’s Social When your strategy is mapped out and you’re ready to engage, remember to make sure that all communications are aligned consistently with your mission, and focus on the  experience  and  benefits  you provide for your audience. It’s not about coffee – it’s about the café culture It’s not about a hog – it’s about a lifestyle It’s not about an event – it’s about sharing a culture It’s not about seats – it’s about an inspiring performance It’s not about heads – it’s about a community of individuals Always keep in mind that on the other end of every message you send out is a real, live, sentient person – aim to  connect !
