NTEN/TechSoup Global Webinar Series: Social Media and Storytelling

Cost: FREE!
Start: 01/21/2009 - 11:00am
End: 02/18/2009 - 12:30pm
Timezone: US/Pacific

Stories that wrap your audience in and keep them listening will do wonders
for your work. What is a story if it isn't heard? The magic of the social
web is making it easier and easier to get our stories out to more than our
core audiences and allowing us to drawn in potential new listeners like
never before. Perhaps, you have heard a podcast or overheard someone talking
about tagging or social bookmarking, but do you know how to make these tools
work for telling your story?

Join TechSoup Global and NTEN for this 5-part webinar series, Social Media
and Storytelling, where you will start learning the building blocks of the
social web, then learn specifics on podcasting, video creation, and creating
social media buzz, and finishing with ROI to determine what your strategy is
worth.

Sessions include (Space is limited, Register Early! Sign up separately for
each session.):

Part 1: Building Blocks (1/21/2009, 11am PT) 

Presented by: Amy Sample Ward 

Is sharing really caring?  Well, it can at least boost your internal staff
knowledge and your positioning as a resource in the community!

In this webinar we'll discuss the fundamentals of sharing information with
social media tools.  You don't have to know how to do this already to take
part-this is for those just starting out!  We'll cover social bookmarking,
tagging, RSS and more, plus the tools you can start using for free to do it
all.

Part 2: Podcasting (1/28/2009, 11am PT) 

Presented by: Corey Pudhorodsky 

Though in person communication is often considered most effective
storytelling method, podcasting is a great alternative to broadcast your
message, educate constituents, or sharing your story in a compelling medium.
In this session you will learn how simple podcasting your content can
actually be. You will also get a better understanding of the investments
required to maintain a compelling podcasting. Though this session will focus
on audio podcasting, many of the tips and resources will also apply to those
interested in video podcast as well.

more importantly, our simple storytelling strategies that have worked for
past projects. We can also help you understand when to do a video project
yourself and when to hire a pro.

Part 4: Creating Social Buzz (2/11/2009, 11am PT) 

Presented by: Danielle Brigida 

We've all been there. The breaking news, the big campaign, the recently
released video--and that daunting online goal..."Make it go viral!"

As nonprofits, we have important news to share, and we want fast and cheap
ways to build buzz and awareness. In this webinar, learn strategies for
taking these messages to the next level and promoting and cross promoting
content using social media.

Social Media ROI (2/18/2009, 11am PT) 

Presented by: Beth Kanter 

This Webinar will show how you can effectively use ROI processes,
techniques, and formulas to help your organization make better social media
strategy decisions and demonstrate impact. We'll take a look at what you can
and cannot quantify as well as look at the most appropriate metrics for a
social media strategy. We'll also cover the importance of intangible
benefits for ongoing improvement of your strategy implementation,
particularly as it relates to user-generated content, and engagement with
social media tools such as blogs, podcasts, photo sharing, and video. We'll
also cover where to incorporate qualitative information and introduce you to
small tool set of analytics, mostly free, that can help you capture,
analyze, and interpret data. You will learn how to communicate the value of
social media to other people in your organization and pave the way for
successful strategy execution.
