Social Media 1 week, 2 days agoHi Everyone! I’m very excited to join the social media group here. I’ve managed the social media channels at various organizations in South Jersey and Philly for the last five years now, and in that time I’ve learned the importance of collaboration and sharing ideas. That said, I’m happy to be joining a group with many like-minded individuals to…[Read more]

Social Media 1 week, 6 days agoHello! I have been an “amateur” social media manager for a non-profit for women in tech in the city for the past 2 years, as well as marketing my own brand and blog. I’m looking forward to learning the “right” way to do things. Do any of you have some favorite resources you have learned some good tips from? Would you mind sharing links to those…[Read more]

Hi Helen! I also used to manage social for a non-profit so we have that in common! It’s interesting that you should mention doing things the “right” way. I feel like there is no one right way, rather a right way for your brand. Also, the right way changes all the time. My first go-to tip would be to follow the blogs of the big and emerging…[Read more]

Hi Nichole!
Thanks for your reply! One question for you. You made the excellent suggestion to “follow the blogs of the big and emerging platforms.” – who would you consider those to be? Can you point me in the right direction?
What I’ve found the hardest thing to do for the non-profit I help with, especially after reading some of our course…[Read more]-
Ah, yes, having an overarching strategic plan is helpful as social media efforts should ladder up to the larger plan and goals. It does sound like you have yourself a great hands-on case study! As for platforms, my top right now would be Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat, YouTube, and LinkedIn. They all have blogs and/or newsrooms…[Read more]

Social Media 1 week, 6 days agoHello! It’s exciting to see like-minded individuals who aren’t terrified by the world of social media. My current role allows me to interact and engage with the social community, but there’s always something new to learn. I can’t wait to connect with you all and share ideas and tips!

Same here. Social media, is a place where ideas are shared and information is given. I love being active in the social media world, it allows you to create your image to the world. But yes, you always learning something with social media, some ideas you never thought of. Hopefully, we are able to collaberate ideas together.

Social Media 1 week, 6 days agoHello everyone! Although I am anti social media in my own life, I definitely see the benefits from a business standpoint. In my former role I managed and created content for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to drive awareness about the non-profit while increasing donations. Now in my current role, I have the opportunity to work on the social…[Read more]

That’s is really good. Social Media can be a love hate thing, but you can gain so much information from it and see different viewpoints from it. I really wish you the best of luck. I’m looking forward to getting to know you, so we can help each other along this path

Thanks Danielle! We can definitely help each other out through this journey. I’ll be sure to keep you updated. 🙂

Social Media 1 week, 6 days agoHey everyone! I was excited to see this group available. Although I love scrolling through social media in my free time, I haven’t had too many chances to take advantage of social media and its benefits in a professional capacity. I’m hoping that with the classes we are taking now, I will be able to understand better how social media helps to…[Read more]

Social Media 2 weeks agoI LOVE social media! In my current role, I work heavily with third party social media management vendors to implement organic social strategies across our hundreds of locations every day. I’m just now diving into paid social for the first time, and it’s so neat! I am definitely a rookie with paid, but I am excited to learn.

Social Media 2 weeks agoI was excited to see this group and joined it as soon as I saw it. I’ve been working in social media professionally for 6+ years now but this is not an industry that allows you to rest on your laurels. It’s great to be able to connect with others who share a professional interest in social media as there’s ALWAYS something to new to learn or try.

Social Media 2 weeks agoHello everyone! I recently started working with a new social media platform listening tool called Falcon.io. This platforms allows you to publish, engage, listen and analyze your social networks on almost every social channel. I’m interested to hear if anyone works with other platforms and what you like or dislike about them!

Nichole (Armstrong) Noel replied a few seconds ago
I haven’t used Falcon.io before. Looks like a great tool. I have used Hootsuite (free and pro), Shoutlet, Spredfast, and most recently Social Studio which is a Salesforce product. They each have their pros, cons, and quirks. I personally liked Spredfast the best, however. The organization seems t…[Read more]-
Thanks for the feedback, Nicole! I’ll be sure to check out Spredfast and see if they have a trial version.
