Advice for a social media compaign

[charleshoskinson]

The Bitcoin Education Project needs some help in the social media world. We are going to build a facebook and twitter page to solicit help and donations; however, this seems like a 1.0 effort in a 2.0 world. Anyone who social media experience could chime in with some advice how to broadcast our project, its mission and goals, and the free course we are building for the mainstream?

Unless you post something viral, building up a social media network is a slow process. There are no magic answer but here some basic advices to start with:

- You should designate someone to take care of each social media and post something relevant to your mission as often as possible.
- Try to interact as much as you can with other people in those media and target your audience with the same fields of interest.
- Try to use tags related to your post with the symbol # (i.e. #bitcoin #lessons #courses). Those tags help to raise awareness because they are viewed by people who are looking for topics related to those tags.

This might seem obvious for some people but raising an audience is quite an art. It is more than just having good content and each media is working differently. Take the time to try each one of these and find ways to optimize your interactions with people.

Don't hesitate to try stuff and be creative.

Hi Charles,

I had to grow BitcoinStarters twitter account from the ground and it took a VERY long time. In a lot of ways you just have to put in the time and send the right message through the channels. Feel free to PM me here on some of the problems you are trying to solve.
