Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JUNE 18, 2007

I've been collecting examples of the "hold a sign" meme in flickr and by way of Erin Stojan of RE-AMP I found this example from the American Rights at Work. Unfortunately, most of the photos are under an "All Rights Reserved" copyright which can be a barrier to spreading them because you have to ask permission.

Despite popular memes that social media is “Free!” Ask for your raise first, and then ask for a budget for graphic design work (avatar, Twitter background, YouTube Channel background, Facebook banners, etc.), and training (HTML, photo-editing, social and mobile media best practices ).

Ensure that when potential new followers land on your Facebook Page, the design of your cover photo and your avatar is visually compelling. It’s for this reason that your avatar should be well-designed, not include text that is too small to read in the News Feed, or show any obvious errors in cropping.

Maybe you’re setting up a Facebook campaign for the first time, or maybe you just can’t remember the difference between a meme and a GIF. For instance, you’d do this if you wanted to give credit to that true friend who took that photo of you from all your best angles. Not to be confused with James Cameron’s famously blue avatars.

When people logged in on Fridays, they saw hundreds of frozen pea avatars from people who were fighting breast cancer. All this inspired by a single woman who had a breast cancer diagnosis and took one photo of herself holding a package of frozen peas on her chest. Follow, participate, and create hashtags and memes.
