HelpAttack!’s founder, Ehren Foss, and Director of Business Development, Vanessa Swesnik, will be giving the webinar, Zero to Hero: Getting Started on Facebook, on the basics of Facebook for nonprofits. We know there have been other webinars out there that have covered this topic before, but we do things a little differently.

We’ll take you through the things you need to know before you actually get on Facebook: preparing a media kit, setting goals, creating a social media policy and strategy, and gathering materials for your page. We’ll also show you how to brand your page, what to know about tabs and apps, and great examples of successful nonprofit Facebook pages. After that, we’ll discuss how to grow your audience, Facebook Insights, and other tools to help you manage social media.

We’ll be using real world examples, backed up by case studies and data.

Join us and learn How To…

• Prepare a media kit

• Draft a social media policy

• Set short term and long term goals

• Create a Facebook page

• Identify social media partners

• Post and tag

• Grow your community

• Use tabs, apps, and Insights.

If all of that sounds like Greek and you had a mini panic attack while reading it, don’t worry. Did you know that more than 70% of nonprofits don’t have a Facebook page? You’re already ahead of the curve.

After the webinar, you’ll receive:

• Worksheets for your media kit, social media policy, and Facebook page

• Slides and a recording of the webinar, including best practices and links.

• Everything you need to start!

There will be time throughout the webinar and at the end for questions so please bring them and don’t be shy!
