Have Fun - Do Good

DECEMBER 26, 2011

I'm thinking about setting up an online VegCookbook Club in 2012. You share the recipes you tried, how they turned out, and any changes you made as a comment, a link to your blog post, or a link to a Flickr photo of what you made. Would you like to be a part of it? Does that sound like fun to you?

If your nonprofit has yet to start using Pinterest , then hopefully new data released for January 2012 illuminating that Pinterest now drives more referral traffic than Google+, YouTube, and LinkedIn combined will motivate you to start pinning – or at the very least to sign up and reserve your first choice of usernames (hint, hint!).

But a shifting communications environment and changing donor demographics could render those best practices ineffective at best, and obsolete at worst, as early as 2012. Raising money in 2012 will require creativity and foresight. Too often, interns are given menial tasks like photo-copying and filling out Excel documents.

Facebook shifted its design to focus on photo and video-sharing in response to data showing that this content is shared way more frequently than text and links. Visual content motivates more responses than text, engages younger participants, and is often cited as a major trend of 2012 and 2013. A trend in which I take almost no part.
