NPA 012: Using Social Media for Storytelling

In this episode we talk with Julia Campbell from jcsocialmarketing.com about how to prepare and implement a social marketing campaign that helps tell your story using social media. Julia is a trainer and coach who helps nonprofits reach their goals using digital marketing and social media. She has been recognized as a Top Nonprofit 150 Blog from topnonprofits.com and a Top 40+ Digital Strategists in Marketing for 2014 by Online Marketing Institute. Here is an outline of some of the topics we talked about. Social media is not a silver bullet. You need an infrastructure underneath your social marketing. This includes: A website is a must. Once someone learns of your organization they are going to look for your website. A mailing list that allows you to divide your contacts into groups (board, voluteers, staff, etc). A database to track your constituents, volunteers, donors and staff. A functional infrastructure which includes your computer, a secure internet connection, computer networks, mission based software, etc. Here is the Technology Pyramid from Nonprofit Technology: Links & Resources If you would like to learn more about Julia Campbell you can visit her at: Her website: jcsocialmarketing.com Facebook: facebook.com/jcsocialmarketing Twitter: twitter.com/juliacsocial Linkedin: linkedin.com/juliacampbell Pinterest: pinterest.com/juliagulia77 Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in this podcast: Social Media Workflow Infographic Nonprofit Technology Pyramid (from Idealware) Why Nonprofits need to be Storytellers – Andy Goodman Hootsuite – Social Media Scheduler The post NPA 012: Using Social Media for Storytelling first appeared on Nonprofit Ally.
