Social Fundraising: How to Fund a Cause with Social Media

This article is the first for my blog since the new year started. I know, I’m a lazy blogger, but I’ve also been pretty busy with business and conferences that brought me all the way to a conference in Iran, to give classes in a couple of European universities, and to travel further more both for business and sure – also for pleasure! More conferences and classes this year, from speaking at Search Congress Barcelona, Search Engine Strategies London and at the Reykjavik Internet Marketing Conference, to teaching more classes at the Master for Community Managers organized by M4F in Bilbao.

At my next speaking/reaching commitments I will be talking about some of the topics I already explored a lot over the last year or two: social media strategies, social media optimization, video optimization, and social media policies – of course updated to the latest news and insights. But I want to take advantage of this post to share the presentations I created on a new topic: social fundraising – a topic I’m particularly proud of since the two case histories are related to one of the most inspiring communities I ever been part of: Burning Man.
