Editor's Notes
- [Susan Fisher’s speakers’ notes] If you really want to get buy-in, you need people to use Facebook – at least – give it a try. Be very specific in your asks. If you don’t ask members to do something, they won’t do it. If you do ask, some will do it. Tell them to Sign up for Facebook Visit the page – preferably every week at least once a month “Like” at least one posts at lest month Click links on the posts at least once month Comment on the posts at least once month Share the posts at least once month To MAINTAIN THE MOMENTUM: Champion the champions. – For example, one members displayed a number of photos on his Rotary trip to Guatemala to help build a health clinic on his personal Facebook page, and I reposted in on our club Facebook pages. We’ll call it out when he speaks on his trip. Also tell success stories, send reminders For example, I told my club that we reach hundreds of people through our club post after “Feed the Hungry Children” event because a number of members shared the post and distributed a flyer illustrating how to share posts Keep the momentum -- Set up a regular time to post, e.g. Preview meeting At the meeting Follow up to meeting Recruiting post at first of the month Use scheduling tools, i.e. HootSuite (hootsuite.com) Designate multiple page roles: administrator and editors Teach others in your club to use the tools to post
