Podcast: How to Use Facebook to Attract Supporters and More
As we've noted previously, The Chronicle of Philanthropy has been running a series of online discussions on how nonprofits can use social media tools. In addition to these open discussions, the Chronicle has been conducting a series of recorded interviews.
In the latest, Allison Fine interviews Joe Green, one of the creators of Facebook Causes, and Amy Eldridge, Executive Director of Love Without Boundaries. These podcasts are available at http://philanthropy.com/media/audio/socialgood/. Topics to date include:
- How to Use Facebook to Attract Supporters
- Philanthropy in Virtual Worlds
- Newspapers, Nonprofit Groups, and Social Media
- Communicating with Volunteers Online
- NPR's Social-Media Strategy
- Using Text Messaging to Raise Money
- Building a Network that Works
- Turning Online Friends into Funders
These are useful podcasts for any nonprofit looking to learn from the pros about engaging new supporters using new technologies. And since they're podcasts, you can download them to your MP3 player and listen to them on your commute to work or in the background while at your computer.
