The potential of connecting with potential new donors, existing members, and others that can support your cause is just too good to pass up. Here are a few tips that can help get the ball rolling. And while you are at it, follow us at Twitter @PublicGoodPR:

#1 Set up an account…and make it clear in your bio who you are and what you do. That willl make it easier for others to decide if they want to follow you.

#2 Tweet regularly. Make tweets interesting by sharing relevant information such as facts, quotes, links to articles, videos, updates on the status of your organization, current news, holiday info, etc. 

#3 Follow others to be followed. People who you follow will often follow you back, espcecially if what you are saying is interesting. Begin by finding others with similar ideals.

#4 Use twitter as a tool to drive traffic to your website, blog, and to encourage readers to take action.

We love providing PR tips, answering questions and growing our network on Twitter. In less time than you think, you can do the same.
