Invite friends, post pictures, videos, and more to create curiosity and connectivity. • Create events – people can RSVP and access any documents/files/etc. Make it easy to find the information they need to get involved. • “Like” and “Share” interesting content from others. Creates an instant connection and engagement. It also builds a larger audience.

  11. Follow people of interest! Don’t be afraid to search for people from like organizations, companies, etc. People are on Facebook to connect. • Always tag people, pages, groups, and events in your posts to help build awareness, visibility and an audience. You can do that by using the “@”.

  12. Tap to compose your tweet! Tweets can include text, images, and links to outside content. Twitter Twitter Feed – scroll up and down. Tweets can only be 140 characters or less! # is called a Hashtag. Hashtags are used in Twitter to mark keywords phrases or topics.

Ask questions, post event ideas, see what other clubs and organizations are doing. • Search for #’s that are relevant to what we’re doing and reach out to those people. • Example:#volunteer, #Rotary, #communityservice, #helpingothers.

  15. News Feed – see what your friends (who you’re following) are posting! Instagram You can fade/blur the edges! Once you have your image up, you can start editing it! Choose the filter you like best! You can “like” and “Comment” on your friends pictures. Take your own pictures on your mobile device and edit/share them by tapping the camera icon. When you’re done tap the green check mark! Hashtags, like twitter, are used. Tap this icon to search for keywords, topics, and more!

  16. Create an instagram account and begin capturing moments! Rotary meetings, events, work functions, etc. • Instagramallows you to send out edited photos via other social media platforms and you can use their tagging features (“@” and “#”). • Create an Instagram Hashtag feed for an event and share it with everyone you know! #RMRYLA #RotaryDenverEvent • People connect to photos – use them to depict the power of what you’re doing.
