Getting Started: An Overview of Channels
Social “Bulletin Board.” Facebook reaches internet users of all ages, providing broad reach among current and potential members.
Real-Time Newsfeed and Aggregator. Users look to Twitter for networking and real-time sharing of events and trending topics. It is popular among 18-29-year-olds, making it an effective way to reach young professionals.
Online Video Channel. Although YouTube initially appealed to teenagers, 50% of current users are over 35, and 41% have taken an action after viewing a video.
Professional Networker, Industry Discussion Facilitator. Company pages and groups appeal to current and potential members, particularly professionals who seek to network, improve their business practices, and increase their industry knowledge base.
Visual Storyteller. Instagram users, predominantly ages 18-29, enjoy behind-the-scenes-style photos from individuals and brands they share common interests with.

A great way to gain proficiency in managing social media is to engage with it personally. Actively share all the great work your club and Rotary is doing on a regular basis! You’re a part of Rotary’s success and you should be proud to share. To help you get started, here are a few tips:
Like, Comment & Share
• Visit Rotary’s social channels on a regular basis to engage with content that resonates with you and you are most excited to share with your social communities.
Be Yourself
• When sharing content, speak with your own voice. • ‘Proud to be a
part of this....’ • ‘My Rotary
Club....’
Keep It Simple
• Let the project do the talking and keep copy to the point when sharing on social media. • If you add your
own voice, keep it to 1-2 sentences.
• Consider using hashtags when sharing on Twitter and Instagram. Some commonly used Rotary hashtags include: • #Rotary • #endpolio
Be Mindful
• ALWAYS be mindful and considerate before you comment or share to ensure what you are sharing is respectful to your club and the organization.
Getting Started: Engage with Social Media Personally

Finding Content to Share to Your Profile
Sources of Content• Rotary Channels
– Find content to share from Rotary International social channels (see above for list of Rotary channels)
• Trusted Partners or Organizations– Sharing content from other trusted people or organizations is a great way to keep your
channel active
• People in Your Club/Zone/District– The people that are in your organization are great sources of content. They are often
capturing and creating their own content. Sharing this type of content helps give your broader audience a sense of the activities and vibrancy of your organization.
Notes on Sharing• When you share content, try to add an appropriate comment that connects it to
yourself or your club/district/zone. Your point of view on what you are sharing adds value.
• Be careful not to over-do the amount of content you share. What you post from your account should be a balance of your own original content as well as posts that are shared from trusted channels.

Establishing & Managing Social Channels
![Page 14: Social Media 101: Using Social Media as a Listening and Relationship-Building Tool](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070514/587c50af1a28abc62c8b5cc3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TITLE | 14
Managing Your Social Channels
• Creating original content - visually appealing images and compelling statements about your club’s, district’s, zone’s activities
• Answering questions about your organization in a timely way
• Monitoring for any sensitive comments/inquiries that may arise on the page
Content Creation
Establishing a Page for your organization is just the first step. In order to maintain an active social channel, focus your efforts on three main areas.
Three main areas of managing your social channel:
Engaging Your Audience Monitoring Your Page
• Acknowledging a user’s positive comment by engaging (like or reply) with them in return
• Engaging with your audience’s or partner’s social media content. This can take the form of likes, comments, or shares
• Using Facebook Events to help raise awareness and invite the public to your planned events
![Page 15: Social Media 101: Using Social Media as a Listening and Relationship-Building Tool](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070514/587c50af1a28abc62c8b5cc3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
TITLE | 15
Content Creation – Writing Guidelines
• When preparing to post on your club/district/zone on your social channels, be sure to tailor your sentences to an appropriate length.
• Your audience’s attention span will vary per channel and you want to write just enough for them to understand your message. If you write too much, your audience may find it overwhelming or uninteresting.
• Below are some suggestions on ideal character length. As you post more frequently, gauge whether your audience responds (likes or shares) better to short or long posts—and adjust accordingly.
Suggested Post Length:
• 1 – 2 sentences per post
• 70 – 100 characters per tweet saves room for followers to retweet
• 140 character max
• Character limit includes links AND pictures (approx. 15 characters each)
• 1 – 2 sentences per post
• 1 – 4 sentences per post

Engagement
When engaging on our social channels, aim to do at least one of the following:
• Amplify the positives – Leverage posts that have value to the brand, speak well of ROTARY, and
advance the conversation around key messages
• Correct inaccuracies– Provide grounded information and resources that are credible and trusted
• Leave opinions as opinions– Do not try to sway or impose opinions on others
• Flag and report detractors
– Follow what negatives are being discussed
• Encourage sharing– Ask open-ended questions to provoke sharing of personal opinions and
experiences

Monitoring
It is important to monitor your social channels regularly to respond to any comments or questions. • Membership Inquiries
– To foster an inclusive image of Rotary, be responsive to questions about joining your club. A good place to direct general inquiries is rotary.org/join
• Questions about your post– If people are asking for more details about one of your posts, respond with
accurate information that you have available; if unsure, verify your answer first
• Positive or Negative Feedback– Acknowledge positive feedback with a positive reply.– Negative feedback: Leave opinion as opinion. Find a positive way to diffuse if
possible.
• Crisis Communication or Sensitive Subject Matter– If you receive any comments that you believe merit elevated attention, contact:
[email protected] or [email protected]– Examples include: abuse allegations or any other sensitive info involving youth,
allegations of discrimination against any of the protected classes.

Getting Started: Create a Facebook Page
Creating a Facebook Page for your club, district, or zone is a key first step to any social media communications.
Why?• Think of your Page as a virtual front door. It provides a way for the public
to find your organization online. If a person “likes” your page, they will receive the updates you post.
• As you continue to broadcast messages from your Page, you build a relationship with your audience or community online. When done well, it can yield results that can benefit your organization in real life.
• Engaging a broader audience with a public Page is an effective way to: Raise awareness of your club/zone/district Recruit new members, and Inspire partnerships or donations for projects.

Getting Started: Create a Facebook Page
Additional considerations on creating a Facebook Page:
What if I already have a Private Group? • While a private group may be helpful for internal communication among
your group, a Page provides an effective, public way to engage a broader audience.
What about the other social channels?• While it is helpful to have other social channels (ie, Twitter Account,
YouTube Page), a Facebook Page is an important channel to establish and develop well first.

Getting Started: Create a Facebook Page
The following outlines how to create a Facebook Page:
1. Visit: https://www.facebook.com/pages/create/
2. Select “Company, Organization or Institution”– Do not select “Cause or
Community” because it won’t allow you to leverage the equity and reputation that comes with being affiliated with Rotary International
3. Select “Community Organization” for your category
4. For Company Name, enter the name of your club or district.– This will be the name that your
audience will see whenever you communicate, so be sure it is straight-forward and consistent with official records (ie, Rotary Club of Evanston)

Getting Started: Create a Facebook Page
Complete the set up process for your Page
Using official resources from https://brandcenter.rotary.org, populate the relevant information to finish setting up your page. 1. About:
– Provide brief, two-sentence description that summarizes your club and its mission.
2. Profile Picture– It is important to use official, high quality Rotary
logo as it helps your Page represent your club in the best possible light.
– A quick way to ensure you’re using the correct version is to use the logo the main Rotary account uses as its Facebook Profile Picture.
3. Add to Favorites– This makes it easy for you to access the page
from your Facebook profile in the future.
4. Preferred Page Audience– Localize your page – Remember you are building
this for your general public in addition to your members so you can target more broadly than the immediate area of your club’s location.

Using Facebook to Promote Events
Facebook Events are an effective way to raise awareness of your public events.
• Use them for the right things– Facebook Events are visible to everyone, so only use them for events where the
general public is welcome.
• Scale awareness– When people indicate they are interested or are attending the event, Facebook
tells their friends – the ripple effect aids the reach of your event.
• Complement it with feet on the ground– Don’t rely solely on a Facebook event to fill seats – it’s one tool in your toolbox.
Use it to supplement your existing efforts to promote via word of mouth, fliers and email.
