You WILL lose control of your message.
Some audiences may not be ripe, yet!
You have to have a back end.

4 things to remember
![Page 23: Online Strategies And Tools For Success 8.19.08](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c340874a795904278b45ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1. You need a sound strategy to succeed online. This means, in part, having an authentic voice
and engaging in real conversations.
![Page 24: Online Strategies And Tools For Success 8.19.08](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c340874a795904278b45ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Your audience isn’t (just) listening to you. They’re listening
to what others say about you.
![Page 25: Online Strategies And Tools For Success 8.19.08](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051818/54c340874a795904278b45ba/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. Online marketing tools are easy for people to cut and paste and pass on. This “viral activity”
can lead to an exponential increase in donations,
participation, and sales for the smart charity.

4. The Internet is leveling the playing field for nonprofits. Now even the smallest groups have the opportunity to talk and be
heard.
