Crafting your message
What is the message you want to get across on social media platforms?
What is your tone? Authoritative? Conversational?

Listen
Your messaging strategy should start with listening.
Take time to listen to your audience. How do they talk to each other?
Try to mimic the tone in conversations with their friends.

Facebook: What works
Questions, photos, videos and content your audience wants to share
Conversation and responding to comments
Create a PAGE not a group. Pages can be transferred, groups stay with their creator FOREVER.

Facebook: What doesn’t work
Boring content
Talking like a textbook
Scaring people into listening to you with sad, negative, hopeless messages
Ignoring comments

Twitter: What works
Short tweets. Leave at least 20 characters out of your 140 available characters free. This will help people retweet your information.
Interesting content. Think about what you like to share with your friends.
Saying thank you. If someone retweets your information, thank them for it.

Twitter: What doesn’t work
Long links. Use tools like bit.ly to shorten long links to fit into your posts.
Being shy. Millions of tweets are sent each day, tweet a few times a day to make sure you’re heard.
Talking about yourself ALL THE TIME. Share the love - link to other organizations’ content, retweet great posts from your followers.
