Tips on social media

Be friendly and helpful:

Don’t feed the trolls:

If you get negative comments, give factual responses in a calm manner. For example, if someone alleges a misuse of funds, direct them to a website where they can report it. Remember that abusive, racist and hateful comments should never be tolerated – do not hesitate to block and report such users.

Seek out interaction with your audience. Encourage them to participate in discussions and answer their questions and comments in a friendly manner.

Set goals and evaluate:

Don’t be afraid to try: Be open to exploring and testing new ideas. Social media is constantly changing so some things that did not work yesterday might work well today.

Take a look at the statistics and evaluate your work. Are you meeting your goals (such as reaching your desired audience, driving traffic to your website, etc.)?
