TOPIC: Using Social Media for Social Good –or- Using Your Social Media Influence for Social Good

We work hard at building our blogs and growing our social media networks. Most of us strive to provide good content and engage with our readers. We might even earn some cash from time to time from our blogs and social media channels. Why? Because readers, brands and public relations companies understand that our words mean something. That people are listening to what we have to say.

Imagine what kind of change we can make in the world if we used our social media influence for social good. Not only do we empower our readers to become advocates for the causes they care for, we also feel good about giving back.

If you have a blog and/or are active in social media, you can use your influence to spread some good. It’s easier than you think. And, no, it doesn’t involve donating lots of time and money. In this webinar, Jennifer Barbour, chief engagement officer of Another Jennifer Blog + Writing Lab, will discuss:
