Eventually you will want to start turning your 'friends' into activists, donors, and volunteers. Make sure your social networking pages always feature various opportunities to get involved. Also include donation opportunities on your social networking pages. Even if you do not raise much in the short run, it helps to set expectations for the future.
Be specific when you do ask your friends to do something for your organization. And always let people know what happened at an event or with a campaign even if they did not participate. They might get involved the next time.
Get into the game now and learn how to use social media or you might be left behind for good. The Rayvan Group can help and will offer an introductory price for a 6 month contract. For more information, email jarrett@rayvangroup.com
