We all know that we are addicted to checking our social feeds. You can help us by creating or sharing content that your network of followers will see.
EarthPaint Facebook Page Like or Follow our page first. We will have to verify your posts by seeing your profile, if you don't follow our page, we will have trouble finding you.
We are regular posters and many of our posts can be re shared to your page, or even better to pages of people that you know. The most important thing to remember is that you have to post or repost regularly to make an impact.
It is encouraged to write a little something that people can read that helps them understand that you are working with EarthPaint.org and that the should take a few moments to read and react to your/our post.
You can add tags #EarthPaintOrg and @earthpaintorg so that we can see and be alerted of your posts. The post above took about 20 minutes to draft, tag, location, and connect everything back to EarthPaint, but then an additional hour to share to individual pages and even a few facebook groups.
After the post went live there was an additional hour responding to comments and questions, taking the time to direct people to www.EarthPaint.org and also sharing the YouTube links (coming in another blog post)
This is just one option. You can go as far as creating fundraisers for EarthPaint Org by adding donation buttons to posts or even to your birthday.
All of these activities add up to about 3 volunteer service hours if you calculate the original time and then several revisits to posts throughout the day.
This can be replicated with Twitter and Instagram, snapchat... you name it.
Instagram, We almost had to shut down our shop when our source of air circulation broke. In an act of desperation, we made a quick post..
.
After a few posts on Instagram, we raised the money that we needed. This is just an example of the effect that posts have. We don't want you to make up anything or mislead people , but having a true and attainable need helps us in a profound way.
We currently have the need to replace the broken engine on our delivery truck. This is a big one, because the repair price is $3500. Using this picture, you could create a call to action that could stimulate donations. Without this truck, we cannot attend recycling events that have made up a large portion of our income , which we use to pay our special needs staff.
Modifying images and coming up with hashtags took more than an hour when we did the post for the shop fan. Creating a message and following up with questions takes even more time.
This is also a 3 to 6 hour opportunity if done well and repeated with variations of the picture, message/story and tags. Again don't forget to tag us @earthpaintorg
As long as your efforts are recorded clearly with a breakdown of time spent, hours can be awarded.
