Debbie Ducic of GutZy Women and David Skul of Relativity are at it again, but this time they roll play the “Internet Troll”. “Trolls” get their jollies by belittling others… since they are such the big deals in the online world (or so they think).

This video first shows how NOT to treat people at a party OR in an online community. Deb has to “throw the bum out” since he doesn’t get the hint and then they act out a better alternative.

Watch closely…Bet you’ll recognize the “Troll” mentality and we would LOVE to hear your story and how YOU handled the situation.

Please post your story as a comment here.

Debbie Ducic of GutZy Women and David Skul of Relativity roll play the do’s and don’ts of social networking in this series of videos. The point is to compare real life to relationship building online.

This video shows how spamming turns people off and then offers a better way to approach getting information about your business out to the people you meet online as well as in real life.

This  article  first  appeared  as  a  post  on  Wild  Apricot’s  Nonprofit  Technology  Blog, which  covers  social  media  tools  and  Web  technologies  geared  in  the  direction  of  the nonprofit  sphere.  

I am  fascinated  with  social  networking  sites  like  MySpace,  Twitter, and  LinkedIn.  But recently,  I’ve  been  spending  quite  some  time  on  an  additional  social  site  which  I’ve found  to  be  quite  important  of  my  time  and  yours.   

If  you  haven’t  guessed  it  yet,  I’m  talking  about  Facebook.  This powerful  networking service  is  not  just  for  individuals  like  me  to  keep  in  touch  with  friends.  It’s  a  very effective  networking  tool  for  nonprofits  to  create  awareness  and  connect  with  their community.  

Below,  I’ll  take  you  through  a  beginner’s  guide  to  getting  your  nonprofit  on  Facebook and  ways  to  effectively  use  this  tool.  

This  is  not  meant  to  be  an  exhaustive  list  of features,  but  it  may  help  get  you  started.  

So  What  Exactly  Is  Facebook?  

Facebook  is  a  social  networking  site  that  allows  users  to  connect  and  share information.

Facebook  is  an  Internet  site  that  allows  users  to  post  online  profiles  (including  photos, information  about  themselves,  etc.)  and  then  connect  to  other  users  who  share  the same  interests,  experiences,  etc.  

Founder, Mark Zuckerberg  threw  up  Facebook  while  he  was  a  student  at  Harvard  to provide  an  online  avenue  for  students  to  find  one  another.  It  has  since  morphed  into a social  network  for  everyone.  

Facebook  is  built  around  groups  and  is  made  up  of  many  networks,  each  based around a  company,  region,  high  school,  or  college.  

Many  nonprofits  already  have  accounts  and are  reaping  the  benefits  for  their organization and  their  cause.  One  reason  why  it’s  so popular  is  because  it’s  very  easy to  use.  Adding  friends,  updating  your  profile,  changing your  status  message  whatever you  do  takes  just  minutes.

The NEW FACE of  “Do Gooders”:

One of my fellow Next Internet Millionaire contestants, Jason Marshall,  is getting ready to do an online fundraising for his student, who is confined to a wheelchair, in order to buy a wheelchair accessible van to drive him around. He is doing this by holding a product launch where many internet marketers are donating the products to be sold and  promoting to their lists. (You’ll hear about the details soon as I’ve agreed to help.)

Another woman I met, Joanie Winberg,  has just launched a membership community site for women going through divorce. As one of her “Panel of Experts”, I agreed to be a resource for women on her site who may need some direction in building in some income from internet marketing to help them not only survive, but thrive!

On April 5th, GutZy Women will be holding a special educational event specifically to share valuable pointers with women artists on how to better market and sell their art or artistic services. The event is in conjunction with SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now) a grassroots effort that is being coordinated by The Fund for Women Artists through its websites. This Nonprofit has provided me with a national website and promotional tools already in place so that we can co-promote, me to my list and them to the world.

Hayley Solich from Australia, a gal I met through the “Virtual GutZy Women Clubhouse“,  just launched her Women Can International, Inc. As I have been asked to be featured in her next newsletter, GutZy Women LLC will gain the attention of other women who are passionate about helping us all be the best we can be as we offer our gifts and talents to the world. We in turn will reciprocate…probably by holding a teleseminar interview with Hayley.

These are just a few real, close to home examples of how this new way of “cause marketing” is being created by possibility thinkers online.

This really got me thinking…

WHAT ARE THE STATS?

I used the study titled “Blogging for Donor’s Hearts” done by the University of Massachusetts in my research for this article that analyzed social media use in the largest charities in the United States.
