5 Tips for Non profits on social media practice by Brent Williams, Rlabs
Tip no.1 : Use Social Media as a STORY – TELLING tool. At RLabs we use Social Media to tell stories and that is what people are buying in to.
Tip no.2 : Listen: When I say this I mean read up on what people are saying about your brand/organisation and topics related to it. In this way you will also see what the need of your community/network.
Tip no.3 : Tools like Facebook can also be used as a “Fundraising Hub” .It is a particularly good platform for non-profits to develop campaigns and to attract potential donors.
Tip no.4 : Also get familiar with LinkedIn. There is a large variety of influential corporates and organisations using this platform. Go for the LinkedIn company page. It is free and will create an official presence for your organisation on LinkedIn.
Tip no.5 : Please don’t try to sell people products online. It is not the space and place for that. Just simply share information on there and see it as an opportunity to engage with potential clients and donors.
