![Wikipedia’s social media definition:
Social media includes web-based and mobile technologies used to turn
communication into interactive dialogue between organizations, communities, and
individuals. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as "a group
of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological
foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of
user-generated content."[1] Social media is ubiquitously accessible, and
enabled by scalable communication techniques.
Simplified version of social media:
Social media is internet based applications that create ways to identify, store,
organize, publish, syndicate, critique and share content with others. Types of
content includes video, audio, copy, and pictures.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/socialmedianonprofitspresentation-120426125938-phpapp02/85/DesignMissoula_NonProfitsandSocialMedia-4-320.jpg)

Make new friends! Search for other organizations that have the same interests, goals, etc. Find influential people in your community and friend them. • Goal: Drive Traffic You are using social media for a reason whether it is to drive traffic to your website, gain awareness for your services, or to promote a fundraising campaign. Post content that is valuable and has a purpose.

Don’t just sign up because everyone else is. If you can’t take the time to do it properly just don’t do it. • Integrate with your website Your “HUB” should be your website/blog. People should be able to go to your site and find links to your social media content, find information about your organization and easily contact you if needed.
