Nonprofit Tech for Good

MAY 26, 2010

Thousands of nonprofits haven’t logged into their MySpace profiles in months, or even a year or more. The majority have moved on to Facebook and Twitter. That said, MySpace is not dead. They just don’t tend to be the same folks that regularly visit Facebook and Twitter. They want a human behind the avatar.

JUNE 8, 2011

For the past six years I have spent 50 to 60 hours a week utilizing Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Foursquare to promote nonprofits. Using a horizontal logo for your avatar. Not following on a 1:1 ratio on Twitter. I am a big believer that less is more on Facebook. YouTube.com/nonprofits.

Five Reasons Why Your Nonprofit Should Hire a Social Media Manager

Nonprofit Tech for Good

JULY 9, 2012

To be successful on the Social Web, nonprofits need to have a presence on mutliple social networks and should be consistently creating content that can be shared on the Social Web, such as blog posts, photos, and videos. Having a discussion on your Facebook Page is not a social media strategy, nor is is engaging supporters on Twitter.

Ask for your raise first, and then ask for a budget for graphic design work (avatar, Twitter background, YouTube Channel background, Facebook banners, etc.), Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Before Myspace then Facebook and then Twitter, I was a voracious reader.
