Go Small or Go Home: Not-for-profits Harness Their Smarts Using Social Media
Go Small or Go Home: Not-for-Profits Harness their Smarts Using Social Media is a lively and easy to read downloadable e-book that helps organizations be strategic about what they already own and take stock of where their real wealth lies. As the world gets smaller with the increasing global use of the Internet and as individuals and communities gear to "go local" by conserving limited resources (both human and natural), not-for-profits can begin to capitalize on what it is they do best: helping others and making the world a better place. Instead of trying to change what you do for your core service, Go Small teaches you to improve on how you communicate that service to the public. The examples we include in Go Small vividly illustrate how any not-for-profit—no matter what their product or service—can benefit by using social media. By Lissa Cowan and Jennifer Lee
