The hardest part of getting started with social media is figuring out which tools your nonprofit organization should use. How do you work through all the possibilities, hype, and data to decide which channels actually make sense for your mission?

Cut through the confusion with “The Social Media Decision Maker’s Toolkit,” presented by Third Sector New England and created and facilitated by Idealware. Over the course of this intensive 6-webinar series, you'll design a social media plan that makes sense for your own goals and audiences – complete with the measures, policies and tangible benefits that will help you gain the support of your whole organization. Based on Idealware's extensive research, we'll cover what's actually working for nonprofits – and the strength and weaknesses of each tool – with the help of expert guest speakers.

Through participation in this course, you will:

·         Identify key social media goals for your organization

·         Learn about the pros and cons of Facebook, Twitter, blogs and photo and video sharing sites, based on the results of over a year of Idealware research

·         Define which social media channel(s) are most appropriate to implement based on your organizational goals

·         Develop a social media strategy for your organization

·         Begin the process of creating a social media policy for your organization

·         Discover how to measure whether your efforts are succeeding

·         Learn how to start the conversation addressing "why social media?" at your organization, managing expectations about and resistance to organizational use of social media channels

This fantastic opportunity is available to you for just $225- for all six 90-minute webinars. All webinars will take place on Wednesday mornings. As an added benefit, “Office Hours” will be available on Fridays from 10am-11am (EST) for the duration of the series, at no additional cost.
