YouTube launched almost 13 years ago on February 14, 2005 and you got to give credit to the early adopter nonprofits active on YouTube in its early years. These early adopters were also embracing Myspace when the vast majority of nonprofits hadn’t yet had their aha moment about social media. Today, approximately 72% of internet traffic is video and one billion hours of that video is watched daily on YouTube.

The Agitator has written about this here … offered a free download of the DonorVoice white paper on Opt In/Opt Out … held several free webinars and live sessions on the subject … and pointed our readers to research on donor consent here.

Now, communicators need visuals as much as they need text. With the proliferation of smartphones with good cameras, it’s easier than ever for everyone on staff, regardless of writing talents or interests, to contribute to your nonprofit’s communications channels.
Nonprofit Leadership Zone brings together the best content for advertising professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

Effective fundraising appeals require the convergence of right audience/prospect, strong and clear offer, and compelling creative. You’ve probably heard the ’40/40/20′ direct marketing adage that attributes the contribution each of these elements makes thusly: 40% of success due to right mailing list (proper targeting). 40% due to offer (you are asking your prospect to do something, after all). 20% due to creative (copywriters and designers don’t like to hear this!).

You work for a non profit. And that means spending minimal amounts of money and pinching every dollar to get by, right? That’s the way many nonprofits think, but it’s not necessarily true. The secret is this: you shouldn’t feel bad about spending money. Well, unless you’re buying yachts and sports cars with money that should go toward your mission, but that shouldn’t have to be said.

As one of my avocations, I publish a magazine in a small market with about 160,000 residents. It’s too fancy a publication for too small an audience in a world that’s going digital, so I lose some money. But I’d probably lose as much if I were addicted to golf or bought a boat, so it works out. I am determined, however, that this magazine be as outstanding as possible, so I listen very carefully to the feedback I get.
