Twitter is not like Facebook; in fact it’s quite different. On Twitter you summarize your message in 140 characters or less. It is a great way to direct followers to your main website or sub websites like facebook oryour blog. Twitter offers many of the same same benefits addressed in our earlier Social Media Marketing articles this year. The more places online that you are active, the more your organization will be noticed for its efforts to help the local communities! Being recognized more leads to more fundraising opportunities and more individuals being helped!
