Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

There were many products demos and discussed, but I really liked the demo of cool things you could do with your smartphone. As I work more and more internationally, translation from different languages has become critical. All in all, a packed day before the official start of the 2011 NTC.

Colleagues Allyson Kapin who founded a web agency called Rad Campaign (they designed my blog) and Amy Sample Ward, who the NTEN Membership Director (and I’ve known since 2007 ) have published a new how to book called “ Social Change Any Time Every Where.”

All of these strategies take time and resources, but of different kinds. The challenge is to design a template that travels well and can be easily and consistently updated (when our organization moved, I had 5 different footers to update). at 2:36 pm This is actually a topic I’ll be discussing at the NTC this year.

Last year I wrote about my Kumbaya Moments at the NTEN Conference in San Francisco and I’m looking forward to more this year, but I thought I’d start off with a few tips that I’ve found helpful to get the most out of the NTC whether you’re here or not. First off, watch for the #10ntc hash tag.

One of the case studies I shared was about NTEN’s recent social fundraiser to raise scholarship money for NTC conference attendance. For more in-depth learning experiences, I do a pre-workshop assessment, but for this mini-workshop I did a living assessment in the room. Engage before, during, and after. Thank you not the last touch.

We pull in donation opportunities, volunteer positions, petitions, event, and other actions from 60+ different sources. In 2007, I realized that a much more effective way to aggregate interesting actions would be to subscribe to RSS feeds from trusted sources. That’s today. The Social Actions project began in 2006.

I started experimenting with these concepts back in 2008 at SXSW session on Nonprofit ROI and SXSW Session on Nonprofit Crowdsourcin g as well as at the NTC in 2009 on a session mapping metrics to strategy. I’ve been playing with the conversational panel or conversational keynote models for short sessions (60, 75 or 90 minutes.)

Doug mentioned attending the NTC/NTEN conference in New Orleans and had RSS and Tagging ringing in his ears. He summarized some learnings from NTC sessions he attended and the keynote by David Pogue. All of us engage our supporters in different ways. He came back an evangelist for social media. What is the first step?

Wendy documented many different stories and shared these internally. Pick the right hard data points I know from experience what the most important metrics are to track for different types of projects. They are different depending on the audience and goals. More on that later. Listening leads to engagement.

I haven’t gotten my hands on this to try (not being a Plone person, I doubt I will), but folks might want to talk in comments about how straightforward the integration is, given differences in data for different instances of Salesforce.com. I don’t know how much code tweaking is required to really get this going.

April 7, 2007 I had heard about this new journal a while ago, and it was sitting in some small corner of my brain, waiting for me to pay attention. I ran into an old colleague at NTC , and it came up, because he had been thinking of contributing to the journal, but decided that he probably won’t, for reasons I will talk about.

more like the Berkman Center Thursday evening blogger meetups I used to attend from 2005-2007. Maddie Grant and Lindy Dreyer who I've meet before face-to-face through attending NTEN NTC conferences, although we first encountered each other via leaving comments on each other's blogs. That's rare in a conference setting.
