JUNE 25, 2016
It’s not easy to tell a good Snapchat story, but the nonprofits listed below are making a concerted effort to pioneer Snapchat storytelling. Doing so requires a willingness to experiment beyond traditional social media marketing and an understanding that there is no immediate payoff in terms of fundraising. In time, Snapcash may be used for fundraising, but for now it’s all about being an early adopter.
Beneblog: Technology Meets Society
JUNE 13, 2016
I just finished reading Kentaro Toyama’s new book, Geek Heresy, tackling the cult of technology as a cure-all for society’s ills. He’s a geek (former Microsoft Research guy) who is making the case that technology doesn’t make the kind of social impact it claims to deliver. There’s often more value to me in reading iconoclastic books than feel-good affirmations of popular icons!

554. That’s how much monthly website traffic we had to our website three months ago. 20 visitors a day may sound encouraging if you’re starting a personal project, but when your goal is to build a successful business with a team counting on you… Well, you’re probably screwed. And if we continued at that pace, we would’ve been. So what did we do? After a few minutes of panic, we got down to reality, and started experimenting with any possible source of traffic to our website.

Note from Beth: I’ve been a big believer in shared knowledge and learning for the sector. IssueLab has been working for ten years to apply the age-old knowledge management question, “what if I knew what others know?” to the hard-earned lessons of nonprofits and foundations. While they confess that they still don’t know the ultimate answer to that question, they have learned a thing or two in their continued pursuit of that goal.

Why should you consider filling one of the 1.8 million nonprofit board seats that open up in the US every year? Most candidates come to us with an answer to this question before we even ask. We hear, “My wife is pregnant and I want to model ‘giving back’ for our children,” “I was always a leader in college and grad school but until now I’ve been too busy to give back,” and “I feel an obligation to share because I’ve been so fortunate” among many other great reasons.

How much money do you think it takes to start a software company? $10,000? $100,000? One million dollars? A lot of startups talk about revenue, but not many talk about costs — operating or starting up. Note: Assume everything I ever write relating to software is about bootstrapping/not involving VCs. I’ve worked with startups who raised capital and it’s not better or worse than bootstrapping, but it is a different mindset when you’re spending someone else’s money.
