Stick to Facebook and Twitter. Shorten your URL and share it out via Facebook and Twitter.

You’re on MySpace, you use the FaceBook Causes application, you keep constituents informed on Twitter, you show your event pictures on Flickr, you share videos on YouTube, and you know the power of blogging tools like WordPress or Blogger. So, your nonprofit is socially networked. In short, you’re well invested in Web 2.0.

At the time, nonprofits were primarily only using Myspace and YouTube. The media had made Myspace, and social networking in general, out to be dangerous, life-threatening even.

Having a discussion on your Facebook Page is not a social media strategy, nor is is engaging supporters on Twitter. The popular misconception that the tools themselves i.e., Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, blogging, etc. You need Twitter and YouTube backgrounds that make a strong first impression. You need a good avatar.

Having a deep and reflective conversation in 140 character bursts where you can examine different points of view, think out loud, share insights, and learn something - can be difficult on Twitter.

Make new friends (Google+) and keep the old (Myspace). They move with you from one site to the next and maybe in the case of Myspace, back again. Create a Google+ Page for your nonprofit and start informing your communities on Facebook and Twitter that your nonprofit is now also on Google+.

Do you provide different content or appeals to your Twitter followers than to your Facebook group? For example, you don’t need to spend an abundance of time on MySpace if the service doesn’t match the demographic you’re wanting to reach. Does the message you send depend on where people connect to your organization?

Ask for your raise first, and then ask for a budget for graphic design work (avatar, Twitter background, YouTube Channel background, Facebook banners, etc.), premium services (WordPress themes, Flickr Pro, Facebook custom Tab generators, etc.), Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. The era of winging it in social media is over.
