Know the Science of Social Media Facebook: Post 5-7 times weekly (at least once on the weekend)
and then monitor your Insights. Post visually appealing photos and graphics and now that the new Reactions are live, test positive and negative content to see which inspires more engagement. Limit post text to 80* characters or less.

Know the Science of Social Media Twitter: Tweet or retweet every one or two hours. Visually
compelling photos or graphics receive 3X the engagement as text tweets – especially if the images are properly sized for Twitter Mobile (800 x 420 pixels).
Use Buffer or Hootsuite to schedule tweets in the evenings and on the weekends.

A Word On BloggingQ: Do you need a blog?
A: It depends. Do your donors use Google?
The key to effective blogging – quality over quantity!
“You can’t beat the Internet on volume, but you can beat it on quality, clarity and perspective.”
– Rich Brooks @therichbrooks

Remember Your Audience When Blogging You are writing for YOUR specific
audience.
You don’t need to have 500,000 subscribers to have a great blog.
You just need to tell your story, share your insights, and authentically connect with your audience.

How to Find the Right Online MetricsSay So What To Your Data Three Times:
1) Today we got a huge spike in website traffic! So what?
2) Wow, it came from Reddit! So what?
3) Turns out that Reddit picked up a news piece about a related topic that linked to our website. So what?
Did the huge spike in traffic result in a spike in donations or email signups?

Google Analytics Goals Your way of telling Google what is important to track
There are many benefits:
Make informed decisions about which referral sources are the most valuable;
Which advertising platform gets the most signups;
Whether your social media efforts are driving quality site traffic.
You have to manually set these up in Google Analytics.
