Most nonprofits have some form of presence in social media these days. How to do it, why it’s important, or what’s most affective when using social media can be allusive though. Here’s some of what I’ve been reading to keep on track here at TALS. Some of this is written from the perspective of for-profit businesses, but I always manage to find a takeaway.

Truly understanding your target market, through analysis and evaluation, can help you to build the most effective Internet Marketing Strategy possible.”

Happy Learning!
