Social media can be a powerful and cost-effective way to reach your volunteers or customers. In this webcast you will learn the basics of how to leverage emerging media to achieve your organizational goals. You will learn specific ways to engage your audience through such sites as Facebook and Twitter. Each of these websites may be used for distinct purposes. You will learn how to use each site to communicate, connect to your key stakeholders, and even raise funds. Through this free interactive session, you will learn how to create "stickiness" for your organization or business online. You will come to understand the ways to use other online techniques like blogging to build your member or customer base. Finally, we'll discuss a simple process for creating your own social media plan. This four-step process can serve as the foundation for your organization's social media efforts.
