Get the Word Out About Your Social Media Efforts

A question people always ask is how do you build your social network? As nonprofits move into the social media world, publicizing their blog, Facebook page, or YouTube videos are the challenges they confront.

A recent e-mail from Catherine Tweedie at the Arc of Delaware County illustrated for me one of the easiest ways to get out the word. At the bottom of her e-mail, she had her contact info listed, but also Delarc's YouTube link and Flickr link (see below). By following this example, each staff person for Delarc can contribute to drawing more attention and increasing connections for the organization with each e-mail they send out.
