Tendenci - The Open Source AMS

By tapping into the wisdom of your membership through crowdsourcing, you can access an almost unlimited supply of ideas for getting your association’s message across on your website.

Crowdsourcing enables you to disseminate your messages to a larger number of current and potential members.

Members involved in content have more ownership and are more likely to share that content with their own networks.

Ed Schipul will take the audience through the fundamentals of how to use crowdsourcing to give a boost to their organization’s website content. He’ll give practical tips on:

-How to recruit and maintain guest contributors, bloggers and photographers
-The best ways to collect stories from members and turn them into content
-How to use your people on video to tell your story (i.e. volunteers, board)
-Using social media to collect ideas/stories
-Maintaining an editorial calendar and accountability
