Social Media for Social Good :: Your Nonprofit Tech Checklist

The following post is a part of  Nonprofit Tech 2.0, created and managed by Heather Mansfield (Bio) (LinkedIn) (Google+), author of Social Media for Social Good: A How-To Guide for Nonprofits and owner of DIOSA Communications. Heather also created and maintains the following communities:
Nonprofit Organizations Twitter Profile
Nonprofit Organizations Facebook Page
Nonprofit Organizations YouTube Channel
Nonprofit Organizations MySpace Page
@NonprofitOrgs Foursquare Page

At the end of the Social Media for Social Good: A How-To Guide for Nonprofits is a nine-page “Nonprofit Tech Checklist” which I have copied and pasted below. Each item on the list is discussed in the book and some items won’t make sense unless you have read the book, but most will. I hope you find it useful. That was my number one priority when writing the book… to create a comprehensive, useful social and mobile media how-to guide for nonprofits. Oh, and the book tour thus far has raised more than $14,000 for nonprofits. The IRS is still trying to wrap it’s head around that one… a book tour fundraiser.
