		<description>Connie,

I like what you say about it being impractical to be on every social networking site.  FYI, we help nonprofits learn more about where their donors &quot;live&quot; online by appending social networking data to their files.  I hope you&#039;ll check it out! http://emailforimpact.com/index.php/services/info/social_networking_data_append/

		<description>You are a Godsend, Connie. I was mulling over this very same question today, so your suggestions could not be more timely for me.

Do you have any thoughts around handling this issue when the potential audience is thought not to be very engaged with social media?</description>

		<description>Yes, it&#039;s about the people &amp; relationships rather than the technology.

My opinion is that if you&#039;re unsure about the value of the community building role, then ease into it part-time. That&#039;s better than doing nothing at all. If you find someone that&#039;s passionate about your brand &amp; community then they will grow it into a full time position. And most importantly the value will easily be realized.</description>

		<description>This is a very important list. Number 5 is probably the first on my list. What people tend to easily ignore are the “participation and engagement” factors. You can have all the bells and whistles and even great content, but if you want it to grow, people have to know that someone is home and will answer the door when they come knocking. An executive recently asked me if a community manager can be a part-time position. My response: “Sure, if you want a “part-time” community.</description>
