Our Definition of Web 2.0
It’s about people wanting to be seen and heard. And to connect
with others.

The Official Definition (Wikipedia)
“Web 2.0 is a living term describing changing trends… It does not refer to
an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the
ways (people) use the web.”

Things to Remember When Money Is Tight
1. Don't curl into a fetal position.
2. Set realistic goals.
3. Don't abuse your existing donors. Spend more time thanking them and making them feel great.
4. Get online today. GET ONLINE and ask for lots of SMALL DONATIONS, including recurring monthly gifts.
5. Don't undersell yourself. Be passionate about your emotional ROI.
6. Admit to donors that it's hard. Ask for the smallest of donations.

We are NOT the best messengers
• 76% of givers are motivated by friends and family, says Cone
• It’s okay to relinquish control of the message
• Donors are experts at knowing how to speak about your cause to their friends and family

Happiness
… people who give [to charity] often report feelings of euphoria, which psychologists have
referred to as the "Helper's High."

So why should you care about Web 2.0?
• Because it’s growing fast and will someday completely pervasive
• Because it is powerful – relationship and conversation based
• Because it puts word of mouth on steroids• Because the price is right

Your website vs. social networking sites?
• Not an either/or choice• Make it easy to fundraise for your cause
champions• Have a hub for your organization IF your
supporters are hanging out there• Remember it is about “social” not “media”

It’s a little like a junior high school … or a foreign country
• Knowing the culture is key to survival• The person behind the message matters • Social norms/herd mentality• You have to find a way inside AND
participate (the clubs, cliques)

knowing what they're saying to others and to you.

strategy

#5: Think portable in all you do online.

can yield regular conversation• Borrow don’t build

#6: Share control of the message
• It’s okay to relinquish control• Donors are uniquely talented at talking
about what you do• They may not get it exactly right, but that
is okay

How To Survive Web 2.0 Loss of Control
1. Brand control is gone – lots of conversations are already going on about you. You can either curse that or embrace it.
2. That’s okay – the people talking about you are part of a tribe, that can become powerful communicators for you.
3. Be simple, memorable and consistent when you talk about your organization so it’s easy for your tribe to talk about you.
4. Your brand is the meeting point between the interests of your tribe and you – they put their own spin on #3.
