#20: Nonprofits Love-Hate Relationship with Social Media Marketing
Feb 11, 2019
As nonprofit marketers this one might be a little hard for us to admit.
It’s that love-hate relationship we have with social media marketing.
Love it when it brings people closer to our cause, gets people engaged and excited about the impact of our mission.
When lovely comments are posted, posts are shared with lots of likes, and of course when donations are made through social media.
Those are for sure the ‘love social media’ days.
Hate it when no one seems to notice or care - no likes, shares or comments.
And even worse, when those who do engage don’t have anything nice to say.
Those are the deflated, why the heck are we using social media ‘hate days.’
If you want to feel more love around your social media marketing efforts...
If you’re trying to figure out how to use social media to really move your mission forward….
If you desperately want to lighten your social media load, but not sure how to go about making that happen...
In this episode I share the nonprofit social media planning process and 4-areas of focus that made my love-hate relationship with social media marketing a game changer for me and my nonprofit clients.
