Editor's Notes
- NOT a HOW TO USE SM Webinar
- From Traditional Door-to-Door, to Facebook
- For those of you who use Social Media, you’ll see the humor… I got a laugh out of it and thought is was a fun way to begin… What is social media…Social Media: Any online technology or practice that lets us share (content, opinions, insights, experiences, media) andhave a conversation about the ideas we care about.
- BEFORE It’s ever time for your fundraiser – start building your community. Start ON SITE! SHOW PEOPLE!! TELL THEM. Start with your community and volunteers.
- What happens to the relative that only calls when she needs $$?? You stop asking. SO – BUILD COMMUNICYT & GIVE FIRST
- Add specific possible Tweets, facebook shouts and links for you you want volunteers to engage. SHARE IT!
