9. TIKTOK IS THE SIXTH LARGEST
SOCIAL NETWORK NOW
TWEET: @JULIACSOCIAL
It has 800 million monthly
active users.
500 million of these active users
(more than 60% of the total)
live in China.
IMPORTANT! TikTok’s popularity
has not come at the expense of
any of the other Western
platforms.
In fact, Facebook, Instagram,
and Snapchat have all
reported increases in their
advertising audience reach
over the past few months, even
amongst users aged 13 to 17.
11. FACEBOOK’S FUTURE
2.9 billion people use Facebook,
Instagram, WhatsApp or Messenger
each month.
2.3 billion people use at least one of the
services daily.

13. SHIFT TO
PRIVACY
“When I look at the internet today, we all have this ability to
connect with people, content and opportunities coming from
all around the world in ways that were unimaginable just a
generation ago.
I grew up in a town of 10,000 people and making long-
distance calls anywhere outside the area was very expensive.
Today we all have access to billions of people.
That’s made it easier to find people who are into the same
things you are.
But as our networks and communities have gotten so large,
we increasingly crave a sense of intimacy and privacy.
Delivering this experience is our focus.”

14. AR AND VR
Called “the holy grail of social experiences…
letting people live wherever they want and
hologram into work so they can access
opportunities anywhere and don’t have to move
to a city or another country for a job.”
Implications for fundraising, marketing, and work
in general

15. STORIES ARE
BOOMING
TWEET: @JULIACSOCIAL
Stories are growing at 15x the rate of
News Feed content.
And, at some point, Facebook and
Instagram may even merge the feed and
Story format.
With the introduction of the donation
sticker for both Facebook and Instagram
Stories, nonprofits have many more ways to
get people to raise money and awareness
for them.
17. STILL PAY TO PLAY
TWEET: @JULIACSOCIAL
Now more than 140 million
small businesses that use
their services – “the vast
majority of which use our
services for free.”
There are now 8 million
advertisers, 4 million of
which advertise in Stories, up
from 2 million this time last
year.
19. AND INSTAGRAM
As of late 2019, Instagram is testing removing the public like counter on posts in
multiple markets, including the USA.
However, Likes are still tracked by the platform and remain an important metric for
marketers.
Don’t forget that just because likes are hidden on posts doesn’t mean you can’t review
your own post performance.
You can still track which posts are getting the most likes and engagement in your
Instagram analytics or a tool like Later.

22. Giving USA’s 2019 report
revealed a decline in general
and mid-level donors (defined
as donors who make gifts less
than $250 and between $250
and $999 respectively).

23. PLAYING FIELD
IS GETTING
MORE
CROWDED.
In 2000, Giving USA reported
that there were around
688,600 charities in the United
States.
By the end of 2020, they
estimate there will be more
than 1.7 million.

26. EXPECTATIONS
ARE CHANGING.
Younger generations tend to:
Want participation at a deeper level.
Expect personalization and a frictionless
fundraising and donation experience (Netflix,
Amazon).
Want to be recognized for their contributions
within their networks (not just a trophy or a t-
shirt).

36. CONTENT IS NOT
KING. AUDIENCE
IS KING.
“Should we have different Facebook Pages for
different departments?”
Ask: Would this provide value to your audience?
“Should we join TikTok?”
Ask: Would this provide value to your audience?
“How often should we post?”
Ask: Would this provide value to your audience?

37. PREACH TO THE CHOIR.
TWEET: @JULIACSOCIAL
If the choir is singing together in
harmony, they will bring others in and
share your gospel.
Leverage your current community
members to bring others into the
fold.
Every day, go into your communities
and answer comments and questions.
Be present and don’t over automate.
Always be learning about your
community and what they are most
interested in, what moves them, what
drives them, what inspired them.
39. EXPLAIN THE
PROBLEM.
Use data and statistics to
demonstrate that this is an
urgent, timely, and relevant
problem.
Incorporate emotional
storytelling.
Invite me in to help solve it.
TWEET: @JULIACSOCIAL
41. SHOW YOUR
WORTH.
Demonstrate impact.
Prove to me that not only is this a
problem to which I need to pay
attention, but that your nonprofit is
the right one to solve this problem.
What changes have you made in
people’s lives or in the community?
Make people inspired and proud
to be a part of your community.
TWEET: @JULIACSOCIAL
42. SHOW ME WHAT
YOU STAND FOR.
Common on current events.
Become the go-to, indispensable
resource.
Combat “fake news”, myths, and
misconceptions.
Take a stand!

46. HAVE AN ESCAPE
PLAN.
How are you getting your community OFF
social media and onto your email list?
If you are building your list in an ethical
and permission-based way, you control
your list of email subscribers, and you can
bring it with you across platforms.
Double down on building up your email
list.

RECYCLE
One great story or piece of content can
be repurposed in dozens of ways!

55. BE PROACTIVE – NOT JUST
REACTIVE.
TWEET: @JULIACSOCIAL
Strategically use each social
media channel based on its
strengths and demographics.
Give your stakeholders a good
reason to connect with you on
that specific network.
What value are you providing?
What are you offering that will
entice them to stay tuned in?
56. DON’T PANIC.
We’ve been here before.
Beware of mission drift.
If your current strategy is working for you,
continue using it.
Focus heavily on sharing photos and
videos.
Visual storytelling wins on social media
every time.
