50 Social Media Tactics for Nonprofits

During Blackbaud's 2009 Conference for Nonprofits, Melanie Mathos and I lead a two-part social media workshop. Part I of this pairing was a new session we developed called 50 Social Media Tactics Nonprofits Use to Meet Their Mission. It was a real blast delivering this content, and people seemed to react well to it.

The idea behind the session was to provide tactics and tools nonprofits can use to meet their social media objectives. The presentation is full of examples that can easily (and sometimes not so easily) be implemented once you have a social media plan. I've been to so many sessions in the last couple years that focus on high level social media strategy, discuss why these networks are important, or cover how organizations can begin a social media program. 50 Social Media Tactics assumes you already have a plan, and are simply looking for tactics to plug into that plan that can help meet its objectives.

Below is the Slideshare of our presentation...I hope you're find it useful. What other tactics does your organization use? What important tactics are missing from our list? What social media tactic have you used sucsessfully? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks Ian! SC LEEP has really been building up your social media presence, so some of these things can probably be plugged in relatively easily. Let me know if you have any questions.

Very interesting. Your line “we must remember that social media is just a tool and it takes more than mere tools to make social change,” reminds me of organizer Marshall Ganz’s observation: "Tools don't build houses. Carpenters build houses,” recognizing the need to train organizers to effectively use social media for social change.

We should be chary and particular in all the par‘nesis we give. We should be strikingly prudent in giving guidance that we would not think of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to refrain from giving recommendation which we don't follow when it damages those who depreciate us at our word.
