While attending the Chris Jarvis Workshop Series today, I was struck by the mention of attracting volunteers through social media. While there was a lot of good content to the session (especially around steps to move volunteers from a 'one time tourist' to a dependable and consistent 'guide'), I really appreciated the social media video that was shown, and all the ideas for promoting ECVO it inspired in me.
A lot of people are still unsure or uninformed when it comes to social media; a lot of others think it is just a trend or something that should be supplementary to their communications efforts. This video presents the truth about Social Media in a far more eloquent manner that I could ever manage!
it's called the Social Media Revolution Video. The link will take you straight to it on YouTube. The information is a bit outdated (the video is from 2009, a lot of the numbers come from 2008), but it gives a good idea of the scope and power of social media - even if it's a little understated in comparison to today's numbers!
Hope you enjoy - and that this gives you some new ideas on how to attract volunteers!
