Unlocking the Power of Social Media: A Master Session on Social Media For Community Based Organisation.

The Gap 

The majority of small and medium-sized community organizations face difficulties managing their social media presence, particularly when it comes to developing strategies, allocating tasks, producing high-quality content, ensuring consistent work flow, underutilizing social media platforms and useful tools, and effectively communicating through a variety of channels, to name a few. 

Most often, the communication team consists of just one semi-skilled person, and the majority of postings are not targeted—even when they aren't sponsored posts. I have been involved with the community-based organization for several years, and throughout that time I have observed that there is also an ad-hoc approach and that social media is generally thought to be limited to Facebook.
