You must check in on social media at least every 24 hours, more is better
Guidelines:*At least 1-3 Tweets a day *At least 1 Facebook post a day (if more space by
4 hours)*At least 2 blog posts a week*Regular attention to any platform you are on*Responsive & active engagement with those
who comment & interact on your page
![Page 43: Social media for nonprofits -- Partnership for Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558a5c4ad8b42ac41b8b4661/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Time Saver: synch Instagram with Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr. You can’t synch business or nonprofit Facebook pages with Instagram, only personal ones.
![Page 44: Social media for nonprofits -- Partnership for Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558a5c4ad8b42ac41b8b4661/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Frontline service providers (librarians, preschool teachers, social workers, etc.) & volunteers can make great social media content providers for Facebook or your blog.
You still maintain ultimate control over the content.
For blog you can accept submissions via email from parents, volunteers, clients, etc.
![Page 45: Social media for nonprofits -- Partnership for Families](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558a5c4ad8b42ac41b8b4661/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
It’s not a good idea to use social media regularly as a direct ask tool for fundraising
However, if you have built the relationship over time, and have a particular need you can use some of your social media collateral to ask for help.
Video, and images can be used to illustrate the need.
Amazing Raise

Set Guidelines (about use, transparency, passwords, etc.)
Identify social media team in Go over policy with employees in person,
answer questions. Post social policy on website, add to work handbook, & post on social platforms.
Focus on what staff can do…… not what they can’t do.
Make clear the line between personal & professional use of social media.
