  • Social Media Time Management Strategies for Tackling Information Overload Getting Organized
    Social Media Time Management Strategies for Tackling Information Overload Getting Organized Information overload is real, but it’s something that’s in your control. Managing your time in social media is first and foremost about deciding where to spend your time and why, and that requires a little bit of organization to start with. What Are You In This For? If your goal is to be engaged in social media for pleasure or just for personal connections, your approach is rather simple. You’ll choose the tools and sites where you find folks with common interests, and you’ll tuck the time in out- side your other responsibilities. But if you’re in this for business, at least in part, you’re going to need to think through some clearer goals than that Here are five sets of questions to ask yourself: 1) Realistically, how many hours do I have to spend in social media each day? Do I have resources/people other than me? What can I expect of them? (Note: if you’re serious about doing social, you need to find an hour a day to start with, at least.) 2) Which 2 or 3 tools and social networks make sense based on my listening efforts? What is my goal for participa- tion on those sites? What is the culture of those communities and how will my participation line up with that? 3) Have we evaluated our current online and offline communication efforts to determine what’s working and what we might supplement or replace with social media? Am I going to need to add this on to my existing responsibilities in order to prove its value before making trade-offs? 4) Has our leadership bought into this idea already, or am I establishing a presence so I can build a stronger case? Is time I spend on social media going to be viewed as an investment or a time sink? How do I make the case for the former? 5) What does success look like? How about failure? How can I measure both, even simplistically? (Hint: Objectives you can’t measure against are going to be really hard to celebrate or adjust, since you won’t know how you did either way).

It is well-known in marketing that approximately 3 in 4 consumer purchases are emotionally-driven and only 1 in 4 is made out of necessity. Branding helps companies make an emotional bonding with target consumers. Accordingly, companies typically commit substantial resources to develop strong brand image for their products. Unfortunately, nonprofit organizations do not enjoy the same level of resources to develop and implement a branding strategy. It is, however, possible today to develop, with the help of digital communication tools such as social media, cost-efficient yet effective branding strategies for nonprofit organizations. 2 I: Introduction In today’s competitive economy many corporate giants are struggling to stay afloat. This economic recession has been just as devastating to the nonprofit sector, and many are vanishing all together.

However, a gradual and fundamental shift in the practice of academics is taking place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is seeing changes effected by the adoption and possibilities of new technologies. This book will explore these changes, their implications for higher education, the possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice and what lessons can be drawn from other sectors.
