TAG - YOU'RE IT ON FACEBOOK |
Looking for ways to increase your facebook presence? Tagging in your posts is a great way to gain exposure to more than just your friends and fans.
First, "like" the facebook pages of other organizations with which you have relationships or that have causes similar to yours; CSPRC, for example. Then, when you mention another organization in your post, just type the "@" symbol before typing out their name, and the post will appear on their wall, where it can be seen by their "fans/followers." Tagging often leads to more comments and "likes" and increases the likelihood of interaction. The more feedback you get on your posts, the more likely they are to show up on other people's walls and the more "Face-time" you get for your organization.
