Societies: Creating a Social Media Plan

Societies: Creating a Social Media Plan
Societies: Creating a Social Media Plan
Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, oh my!  With all the social media platforms out there, how do you know where you should to go to create a presence for your society, or if your society should be out there at all?  It's all quite overwhelming ... unless you have a plan.

In this archived episode of My Society, Thomas MacEntee focuses on the finer points of creating a social media plan for societies, including:

  • What is a social media plan?
  • Why do you need one?  What is the goal?
  • How do you get your society leadership on board?
  • What is the difference between a social media plan and a social media policy?
  • What is the difference between a Facebook group and a Facebook page?
  • How do you know your plan is working?
