MySpace.com is the largest, most visited social networking website in the world. Over the last year thousands of nonprofit organizations have jumped onto MySpace hoping to tap into its tens of millions of users, yet many are struggling to successfully utilize the site. Change.org, which recently announced a partnership with Network for Good, launched in February 2007 and is increasingly becoming the social networking destination for activists, donors, and nonprofit organizations. These two sites, when successfully integrated into a comprehensive social networking strategy, can significantly increase your organization's name recognition, website traffic, donor database, and e-newsletter subscriber mailing list.
Heather Mansfield, creator of the Nonprofit Organizations MySpace and online community manager for Change.org, will discuss how you can successfully use both sites to increase your organization's visibility on the Internet, recruit new donors and e-newsletter subscribers, and build online community around your organization's mission and programs at little to no cost to your organization.
