Nonprofits were the early adopters of socialnetworks. The were active on Myspace, YouTube, and creating Facebook Groups long before most of the companies that are often praised for being the pioneers of social media. One of the reasons was that socialnetworks were free to join and lacked monthly fees.
Thousands of nonprofits haven’t logged into their MySpace profiles in months, or even a year or more. That said, MySpace is not dead. Age, class, race, and location play a huge role in who uses what socialnetworking sites. I created the Nonprofit Organizations MySpace in 2006. Comments are up.
For the past six years I have spent 50 to 60 hours a week utilizing Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Foursquare to promote nonprofits. The brutal but honest — and hopefully well-received — truth is that the majority of nonprofits are making mistakes on social-networking sites that directly undermine their ROI.
The “Nonprofit Organizations” brand was launched in February 2005 on Myspace. At the core of the brand is the Nonprofit Organizations avatar which has been used consistently since then to build a visual brand across many socialnetworks ( Facebook , Twitter , Pinterest , etc).

Add links to your website, blog, and socialnetworking communities to your Google Profile.

Your supporters also want to see what your staff and working space look like – the human beings behind the avatar, if you will. One of the simplest ways to significantly increase your nonprofit’s return on investment (ROI) from using social media is to learn basic HTML. Make new friends (Google+) and keep the old (Myspace).
The successful use of social media requires a significant time investment. To be successful on the Social Web, nonprofits need to have a presence on mutliple socialnetworks and should be consistently creating content that can be shared on the Social Web, such as blog posts, photos, and videos.
