How To Create A Powerful And Engaging Facebook Page
Following is a guest post by Rajeev Edmonds from New Delhi, who publishes a blog called Mintblogger (I highly recommend subscribing if you haven’t already).
Facebook is undoubtedly one of the most popular social media services used by individuals, businesses and non-profits to connect with people. Groups and Pages are excellent options to leverage the large network and reach of this popular platform.

It's OK to hate Facebook
Here's a little secret for you. I hate Facebook and I always have . I mean really, really hate it. I feed all my stuff to it, but I can't stand it and try not to go in there unless absolutely necessary - then feel guilty that I've missed a bunch of comments and invitations and whatever...? Facebook suffers from the worst case of feature creep ,that I have ever seen. Joshua Porter defines feature creep as"the process of slowly adding features to a product or interface over time. The result is a design that is less than the sum of its parts .

How To Use Facebook “Notes” To Get More Traffic
S mall businesses and non-profits that have a Facebook page can leverage the Notes application to drive web traffic to their sites. Facebook currently lets Profile users import one RSS feed from a blog into their Facebook wall using the Notes application...).
Your content must be highly valuable . Again, the Notes application only allows for 1 RSS feed. Why should they choose yours?
You must have at least a small group of raving fans on Facebook. Do you know who these folks are? If not, get to know them.

5 Tips to Revive a Fading Facebook Group
Following is a guest post from my Canadian friend, Rebecca Leaman, who writes for Wild Apricot and runs the NonProfitWorkshop with Chris Garrett and me.
_____________________
You set up a Facebook Group, sent out invitations, and attracted some members....
Do make your messages interesting, relevant, brief… and rare. “Too many messages” is the Number One reason for people leaving a Facebook Group. Once or twice a month is usually plenty for Group mass-messaging, unless you’ve got urgent news that must be shared.

Hello, Washington Post: Dolllars Per Facebook Donor Is Not the Right Metric for Success
Flickr Photo by Vaguely Artistic
This morning the Washington Post published an article titled " To Nonprofits Seeking Cash, Facebook App Isn't So Green: Though Popular, 'Causes' Ineffective for Fundraising ." When I first saw the article, I thought it was the article from a year ago where they said basically the same thing. Proclaiming that fundraising using Facebook Causes was a failure based on a calculation of dollars per donor.

Facebook Profiles and Pages and Groups, oh my!
If questions from our readers are any indication, there’s still a lot of confusion about the differences between Facebook’s Profiles, Fan Pages, and Groups — and which of these might best suit a nonprofit’s social-networking plan. Let’s take a closer look. Facebook was conceived as a social network of individuals, so everything starts with the individual Profile.

How To Embed A Social Or Fundraising Widget Into Your Facebook Page
Microactions are key
A word of advice. Chris Garrett and I mentioned during the Philanthropy.com chat , it’s best to ask visitors to your Facebook page for specific and doable actions. Asking a visitor to donate $10 now to buy enough books for a single classroom will get a higher “ action result ” than asking them to “please give”. Again, small, doable and specific actions.
Now, the problem with Facebook is that it’s pretty confusing to use for a lot of folks.

Effective Fundraising with Facebook Causes
Susan Gordon, Causes
Facebook provides an unprecedented opportunity for nonprofits: 200 million monthly active users, about half of whom are signing in and communicating with their friends on a daily basis, is an organizer's dream.
We developed Causes because we know what it takes to be an activist and we know how much social networking can revolutionize grassroots organizing.... The Love Without Boundaries Foundation created a cause despite being small, entirely new to Facebook, and having no paid staff.
