Treat it like a party (not a podium)
• One-to-one conversation is key• Many one-to-one’s happening in public• Talk like a friend, not a commercial• You get what you give

Consider your audience
Put yourself in their shoes.• What do you click on in Facebook?• What annoys you in Facebook?• What’s important to them?
(Hint: it’s rarely your cause)• Let empathy guide you

Consider your audience
Where are your people online?• Where are your closest friends?• Where is your family?• Where are you acquaintances?– From work?– From school?

Consider your audience
Why are people on Facebook?• Keeping up with family and friends• Updating others on their lives• Sharing photos• Dating• Killing time

Consider your audience
Why are people on Twitter?• Something big in the news just happened• To feel closer to celebrities/famous people• To see what friends are doing right now• To stay connected at events• Killing time

Facebook• EdgeRank – What Facebook shows you• Notifications• Likes, shares, comments• Lists and targeting

Consider how it works
Facebook• EdgeRank – What Facebook shows you– Facebook doesn’t show you everything– Prioritizes people you tend to interact with– Prioritizes topics those people like– Prioritizes volume of conversation– Keeps interesting posts in front of you for a while
![Page 14: Using social media for fun and non-profit](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558d392fd8b42a6a688b4582/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consider how it works
Facebook• Notifications– Default settings– Commenting– Tagging people– Location
![Page 15: Using social media for fun and non-profit](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558d392fd8b42a6a688b4582/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Consider how it works
Facebook• Likes, shares, comments– Likes are low-effort, but also low-impact– Shares require more effort, but are potentially low
engagement– Comments are high engagement, but don’t
require support

Consider how it works
Facebook• Lists and targeting– You can create lists of friends based on anything– Some are auto-created for you– You can target posts by list– Treat everything as ultimately public

Consider how it works
The sole goal of Facebook:To keep people on Facebook.

Twitter• The feed• Notifications• Hashtags

Consider how it works
Twitter• The feed– People see what’s just been posted– If they don’t happen to check when you post,
they don’t see it– Caveat: retweets resurrect old posts
![Page 20: Using social media for fun and non-profit](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558d392fd8b42a6a688b4582/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Consider how it works
Twitter• Notifications– Default settings– Direct messages– @-replies– Retweets– Favorites

Consider how it works
Twitter• Hashtags– Do a quick search– Join relevant ones– Don’t attempt to start your own lightly– Don’t become spam

Consider how it works
The sole goal of Twitter:To make you feel like you’re missingsomething when you’re not on Twitter.

Do the hard work
• Plan, coordinate, be persistent– Be ready to give people more to do when they ask– Plan to have conversations in public– Make your cause look inviting– Encourage event participants to post
(and don’t overly worry about what they post)
