What Is Digital Community Building?
@mediacause
Quick Poll
A. 1
B. 2
C.3
D.More than 3
How many interactions does your nonprofit
typically have with donors before asking them
to give?
@mediacause
How Not To Do Community Building
You don’t ask for a
donation within the
1 minute of meeting
someone. Why do
so many nonprofit
do that online?
@mediacause
Community Building Vs Advertising
Advertising is expensive
$1 Cost per Click
5% Conversion Rate
1 X 100 X .05 = 5
$100 to reach 100 people
$20 to drive 1 important action
@mediacause
The Power of Community
mediacause.org | connect@mediacause.org | @mediacause
Single Tweets go unheard…
but thousands can start a revolution
Want to know the secret to
successful community building?
Review and prioritize your GOALS before
starting
The COMMUNITIES’ GOALS are more
important than yours.
But don’t forget…
How It Works
1. Get permission to
continue the conversation
2. Connect on issues the
community cares about
3. Share content that informs
and inspires
4. Celebrate wins and
progress together
5. Ask for participation
