Thanks to Jessica Rivelli from Working Women of Tampa Bay for the invite to speak!

Did you miss it?

I’m happy to speak to your board, your staff, or civic groups like Rotary, Kiwanis or chambers of commerce.

Of course I can talk about auctions, and how to best support the causes you believe in, but some people don’t know that I also speak nationally on branding and marketing.

Things are changing all the time in social media.

Isn’t it time you got some help?

►Who’s the “Voice” of your nonprofit?

Who’s the “voice” of your social media posts?

I’m a huge, huge fan of Entrepreneur magazine. In fact, if you’re not already following them on Facebook, seriously, click over there and do it right now.

I’ll wait.

It’s that important.

If you want to be smarter about, well – anything – you should be following Entrepreneur magazine on Facebook.

Their posts are 2- or 3-minute reads about stuff you want to know, and I guarantee you’ll see something each week you want to click on and open.

By the way, I don’t get anything for promoting them. I’m just a super fan.

When I was researching for my presentation to the Working Women of Central Florida, I came across this awesome article Entrepreneur mag posted, “22 Statistics That Prove the Value of Personal Branding.”

It’s about how we (people, you and me) connect better with people, not companies, and you’ll do yourself and your organization a 561% favor by letting your employee’s personalities show when they share posts about your cause.

Since you can control the tone, images and message you put out there, sit down and really think about how you want to be perceived. Is your org inspiring? Are your clients beautiful? Are your services useful? And isn’t life just funny sometimes? (NOTE: If you don’t yet know about FUBI, read about it here.)

You can even let different people shine in their elements. If you’ve got a stellar soul who can communicate all you want to say on all your platforms, give him or her a raise! Otherwise, try trusting your inner circle with the platform that best matches his or her personality, and see if you don’t get more likes, follows, and engagement from your fans.

►Charity on “Cracked”

July 13, 2012 - Author: Jenelle Taylor, CAI BAS

It’s Friday the 13th, a perfect day for a bit of controversy on a bed of comedy!

Controversy, you say?

I’m happy to pass along an opinion piece with nearly 900,000 views, “5 Popular Forms of Charity (That Aren’t Helping)” with the caveat that it’s a bit salty in tone. That’s likely because it’s featured on the most visited humor website in the world, with 300 million monthly page views.

Logo Cracked.com So, whether or not you agree that drinking “breast cancer vodka” makes people less likely to donate cash, at least by clicking over to read this Top 5 List, you’ll have a good excuse when you boss finds you’ve blown 3 hours reading “10 Baffling Romance Tips” and “Why Journalism is Obsessed with Dinosaur Sex.”

Happy Friday the 13th!
