Social Media Community Management Consultant
Self Employed (Self-employed)
(Self-Employed; Writing and Editing industry)
January 2009 — Present (11 months)
If assist small businesses and small nonprofits in the Central Ohio area to maintain a social media presence on line. Many small businesses are one or two person companies that do it all. If you would like to add social media to your outreach strategy but just don't have the time to manage it or the need for a full time staff person, I can help you.
For nonprofits, social media is an excellent way to recruit and coordinate your volunteers, advocate for the people you serve and provide education to the public about your services. Having a social media presence is essential if you wish to reach young adults that may be potential supporters and volunteers.
I am available to speak to groups about social media and can also make recommendations based on your company or organizations specific needs. -
