Event Details
What's more valuable a Like or a Follow? Why don't your blogs get more comments? Are these even the best ways to evaluate your social media marketing?
Most people know that they should be using social media but are unsure how to find their voice. They worry that what they have to say won’t be interesting to anyone else. Yet they can speak eloquently and clearly about their organization and their mission. This session will help students translate what they can do instinctively face-to-face, into a social media strategy that is focused on cultivating quality engagment and building community.
Workshop Syllabus: Social media is changing the way we communicate, the way we organize, and the way we raise money. It has made it possible for even the smallest organization to get their message in front of millions of people. But how can you tell if your nonprofit is getting the full potential from social media
Together we'll go over the best ways to tell a story online, what formats to use, and strategies for boosting engagement with an eye on creating and cultivating a community. Students will leave the class with a set of tools they can put in the place immeadiately and a long term plan for building and cultivating an engaged community.
We'll focus on ways to define your goals and audience, start the conversation you want to have, develop a plan to carry it out.
