Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JANUARY 14, 2009

I have many years of blog content. It is hard for me to find posts because I have too many categories (over 200) and an idiosyncratic way of organizing them. No wonder I get emails and DM's from folks telling me they can't find a particular blog post. That's a river of blog resources, why add to it? More >> Tools.

This is an example of how you can use social media to crowdsource your professional development and learning. Here are some examples from Beth from November, 2008 - I'd be interested in hearing about more data and experiences myself. Is the blog to buried from your front page? Thank you Kevin!

What's interesting about this Twitter account is that it isn't an automatic feed that streams links to their own reports. In early 2009, the Compete Blog posted its media trends for 2008, suggesting that publisher media continue to integrate social media. . Source: Compete Media Trends for 2008 .

I don’t want to start a race to the top of the Nonprofit 25 – where organizations start spending more time worrying about their position on that list, and less time feeding people.

I’ll have follow up posts on specific examples of this integration using open source tools (on one end or the other, or both.) While it may be ideal to have a fully integrated setup, a good stepping stone is one that feeds data directly to the CRM but appears to use the same CMS as the rest of the site. 8 Judi Sohn 01.22.09

Charities outside the US can set up a profile. To generate a robust profile, your organization should be able to plug in existing social media presences (Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Blog RSS Feed, Etc) so it seems to favor organizations that have already established a social media content strategy. So What and Who Cares.

An example of our early "brand" circa 2005 Like everything else that has gone well in my career, it started with a NTC (Nonprofit Technology Conference).

The best example comes from Social Media for Social Change (SM4SC), an organization started by Gradon Tripp, that uses social media tools to raise money for nonprofit. This charity event was not a self-organized, networked fundraiser, but an example of an agency-driven event. Twestival is the most recent and impressive example.
