Greetings! Once again, I am proud to bring you an article by a guest author who has lots of experience working for the benefit of non-profit organizations. John Haydon (pictured at left) is the man behind JohnHaydon.com and InboundZombie, which is the site for his social media consulting business.
John specializes in helping non-profits “increase awareness, amplify engagement, and get more donations online.” I think those are goals that most non-profits would aim for!
John has also written an e-book, called “The Complete Facebook Guide For Small Nonprofits”, which is free to download, if you “Like” his Facebook page.
I hope you enjoy this article and I encourage you to check out John’s site when you get the chance. I’m sure you will learn something and have a good time doing it! Thanks, John!
