This Thanksgiving-shortened week’s posts all spring from something I’m thankful for: two recent social media strategy training presentations for non-profit organizations. Based on incredible turnouts for both social media training presentations, non-profit social media strategy must be a hot topic!
One question from both sessions was how to attract a follower base for your non-profit organization.
These 16 ideas across 3 different areas should aid non-profits in growing a social media audience as much as they do other types of businesses and individuals as well:
Be a Good Social Media Participant
1. Be human and socially intriguing – This applies both visually (depict a person in your avatar) and in interactions (demonstrate personality and let people know WHO they’re interacting with online).
2. Interact with people – Engage with people on relevant topics. Talk, respond, and initiate conversations.
