Social Media is one of the best ways of promoting our sites and our businesses through its channels. It is also a powerful strategy that can get us links, awareness and massive amount of traffic. There’s no other low-cost promotional method that will easily give us large numbers of visitors to our website. I’m one of many to believe in the value that social media strategy can bring to our NGOs but not knowing how to use it efficiently for my organization. Thanks to LDN and Dr. Marlyn Tadros’s expertise, I had the precious opportunity to acquire more knowledge about Social Media strategies. Thank you!

Creating a social media strategy for your NGOs
Many NGOs have finally gotten the social media message: you’re either using social media for exposure, or you don’t exist in the new media. As always, many plunge in, including myself, without realizing just what we’re getting into at first. It is through a process of trial and error that we eventually get somewhere if at all. As always with digital media, there is an abundance of tools, and people find it difficult to choose which tools to use for their message. To add to the complication, each tool requires a learning curve whose duration depends on the complexity of the tool itself.
In order to create a significant digital presence one needs a social media strategy. It should be noted, however, that it is just as much a struggle to get people engaged in your message on social media as it is in traditional media.
