Help to raise a charity's Face book profile to raise funds
-
Hi,
I am new here and its my first question.
I am helping a charity on pro-bono basis on their SEO. They do a great job by looking after terminally ill children with no costs to parents. 60% of their funding is through various fund raising events.
They know some well known actors and sports personality who may be willing to help.
They have asked my to look at their Facebook page and help to
- raise its profile and no of likes
- increase interaction with donors & general public and most importantly
- use it to raise funds
Any ideas/ help/suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thank you,
Syed

No worries, glad I could help.

Syed, oh, I like that photo session idea. See, you are well on your way. Good luck, this sounds like a terrific project!

Hi Andrea,
Thank you very much for replying and adding the interesting competition concept to the list by Jason.
I will have to think really hard as to how to offer something unique but your idea of "chatting with celebrities" is a very good one, perhaps a photo session with the winners family!
Again thank you.
Regards,
Syed

Hi Jason, Thank you very much for your reply. I really like the idea of donate button which I did not know, so thanks for teaching my something new. Really appreciated. I will update this post in a few months time to show how we have got on. Regards, Syed

I agree with Jason and will raise one other consideration: give them a reason to care about the page beyond it being a good cause. Donating is nice, seeing some content is nice, but neither necessarily will catch someone's attention. Can you set up something where people can post to win a chance to have a chat with one of the celebrities? Is there some sort of contest or something you can promote? Think of something unique that will drive the conversations and want people to check the page and engage.
I, personally, have stopped liking most pages because I don't get much reason to actually engage, unless I have a situation I need to address (like, customer service). I want to see a unique opportunity, just because I donated to a cause doesn't mean I want to read their status updates because sharing news doesn't equal engagement.
Just something to think about to get some "hooks" for the audience.

Hey, here is what I would do:
1. Install a donate app onto your facebook fan page
a. Make sure that the charity has an account that the donations can go to (most use paypal)
2. Use your friend base and the friend base of your friends to promote your page by asking them to like it and sharing it. (Trying to make it viral)
3. Monitor the Facebook page for interactions and peoples comments so you can interact with them as the page.
4. have the Celebrities endorse your fan page by asking them to share it on their walls
5. Post content regularly so people get updated about the charity
Those are just some steps I would take in order to promote the charity.

Is there a Bug or other problem with Facebook Page 'invite friends' feature ?
Hi Im trying to use the invite friends feature on Facebook pages to send a page invite to some email contacts, as per #3 in this SME recent post of FB tips: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/five-lesser-known-facebook-page-features-for-marketers However whenever i click the 'invite friends' option the dialogue box swirls for a bit then disapears and nothing whatsoever happens, not just not being able to see invite email options but nothing at all happens, the loading box just disapears. Does anyone know if this is a current know issue bug or other way of doing this so it works ? (I have tried on 3 different pages) Many Thanks Dan

Has anyone seen a Blog post from LinkedIn's new Blog feature appear in SERP's?
This feature, prior to Feb. 2014 was only available to high profile users, or influencers, like Bill Gates. Now it is available to all LinkedIn users and extends the reach to LinkedIn groups and your own network. Anyone know if there's an SEO benefit? Thanks in advance.

How do you get more Google +s?
I have had a google plus page and a facebook page for my business for a long time now. I have not had any issues building a customer base via Facebook either by promoting my page or by using the pay promotions via facebook. On the other hand, I have had 0 luck of getting +s on my google page. I feel the page looks good, but just am having a hard time. Is there an effective way out there to get followers on Google+?

Difference between Google+ Followers and Website +1's?
Very sorry if this has been covered multiple times already… I can't find the answer anywhere… This is a basic question: Is there a difference between someone giving my website a +1 and being counted as a follower on my Google+ page? I run a website and a Google+ page for my brand, and these two things are linked. When someone clicks on the +1 button on my site, does that show up in the count that someone sees in the red box in the upper right corner of my Google+ page? And, when someone comes to my Google+ page and adds me to a circle, is that the same as them clicking the +1 button on my site? Or are these two entirely different things? I feel like the terms are used interchangeably, but I'm not sure if it's because they really are two different things, or if they're really the same.I ask because, when I look at my company's Google+ page, it says "+300" in the upper right, but when I see my website come up in an AdWords ad, it says "[Company Name] has 240 followers on Google+"... Why are these numbers not the same?Thank you!Scott

Does adding your google plus page help stop scrapping
I have created a site that has 100 percent original content in my business category. I have written over 100 articles myself that not only to help me rank, but most important to help the use find the right anwser to their search. I didn't farm out not one sentence of any of the content. With that said how do I prevent others from scrapping my site for this info and using it as their own. 1. Is there something to add to each page code wise that will lead them back to my site. 2. Does using the google plus help this situation in that google thinks it's yours and treats the others as duplicate content. 3. I dont mind placing this info on other sites as long as the readers know its mine. Sorry to ask such a noob question but I have spent all my time on the content and really know nothing about the coding side of things. Any help would be great. thanks

Sorry! I am not understanding how a Re Tweet helps with any lift in rankings.
Does anyone have an infographic to explain how social media increases any lift in the SERP's. I just am not grasping how if I re tweet a link that the search enegines see this and say "this must be important" let rank it higher.. Where is the Social Media Moz Guru?

Facebook competition: what's the best way to do it
Taking some advice/ideas from this seomoz blog post http://www.seomoz.org/blog/99-ways-to-build-links-by-giving-stuff-away-and-improve-your-brand-too-14029 I decided to launch a facebook competition were you like/share the product you want to win. The question is should I be looking for share or likes? From what I have read Share are more valuable than likes, but Likes would be easier to get I think (ie we could get a lot more of them). Here is an example of one of our product pages: http://www.lovefurniture.ie/sofas-furniture/corner-sofas-l-shaped-sofas/rihanna-corner-suite-with-sofabed We already have a like, tweet +1 buttons, but not a facebook share, should it be there? Any feedback or advice would be appreciated

Help with Brands Facebook page
Hi Guys I desperately need help on this one.......I have taken over the management of a Brand's facebook page and have some concerns as to how it was setup. The account was opened by an individual that has a personal account but they did not open the brands page from their personal account...instead they used a slightly different email address and opened a new page business account. I am not able to comment on any comments on this account and i am assuming it was as a result that there is no "profile" (not sure). Should i go ahead and create the profile with the details of someone at the brand? or how should i proceed to rectify this......am i not able to comment as a result of not having a profile?? help! UpDate: The comment issue has been resolved and it seemed to be browser / firewall related...never happened before...very strange
