It wasn’t so long ago that the idea of creating a website for your prevention program or organization was new and exciting, with so much to learn and do to make it happen. Today, static websites no longer make the grade. With the advent of social media, such as Facebook and YouTube, people increasingly expect opportunities to comment, share, discuss, and collaborate online. Yet there are hundreds of social media options to choose from, with new sites and features popping up all the time. While the rapid pace of technology may make the thought of jumping on board the social media train feel daunting, a well-conceived plan can help ensure a smooth ride. To develop this plan, you will need to take a step back and think through why and how you intend to use social media to support your prevention efforts. When all your excitement and hard work are met by nothing more than few likes from a handful it’s easy to get discouraged. Once you have a solid plan in place, you can board that train and feel confident that it will take you where you want to go! What do you hope to achieve by using social media? Try to think broadly about this, considering both short- and long-term goals. For example, you may consider adding a blog to your website to share updates about current prevention activities. The possibilities are endless! The world of social media offers you the capacity for ongoing communication, collaboration, and even social change. As your understanding of and comfort using social media deepen, consider its potential to influence—not just connect with—community members. For example, you might engage local youth in helping to shape the online conversation about drug use and prevention in your community. Or you might use social media to raise awareness about and gather signatures petitioning for a much-needed policy change to support prevention efforts. http://buyinstagramsfollowersreal.com/
