For those who do not know me, my name is Jim Turner and I was recently featured here as a collaborator on a project to help raise awareness and, of course, money, for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. It was a great experience and WhatGives!? has asked me to post regularly about how you can use social media creatively to help your nonprofit or cause organization meet its specific goals.
That recent 24 hour radio program really opened my eyes to how social media can be used for social good. It gave our community a place to gather and donate funds, discuss issues related to Haitian relief efforts, and open up other opportunities for nonprofit organizations. I was able to put together this program in a very short period of time (approximately 48 hours), and for the most part using social media tools, I was able to do it efficiently and inexpensively – and was able to benefit charities in the process. In these blog posts I will be discussing some of these ideas, the tools I used, how it was accomplished, and how you might also be able to do the same. WhatGives!? is giving me a platform to bring you that information and I want to thank them for allowing me to post my ideas and information here. You can also follow along with me on Twitter and at my blog at One By One Media.
If there are any questions that nonprofits have or if you are a person in charge of fund raising, promotion, marketing, or other areas, please feel free to ask any questions here and we will be happy to help. The power of social media can be harnessed by you as it has by others. Let us help you accomplish your goals.
