Once you make the first step in communication with the group members and understand where their interests lie, you’ll be able to network with each other and increase awareness using each other’s contacts. Imagine that — a social connection on a social-networking site. Who knew?
Listening and connecting with people within the existing networks before soliciting membership to your own is the best way to see real results with quality advocates. One of my favorite examples is GodTube — a YouTube-style site geared strictly to the promotion of faith-based videos, news clips, sound bites and TV shows. GodTube also contains the standard chats, forums and groups containing people who have an interest in religion, faith and spirituality. What an opportunity for religious nonprofits to engage a younger generation of potential leaders and advocates for faith-based missions!
