For those of you who have not been able to use the wiki as a journal, what’s holding you back? What help do you need?

It isn't always the most convenient task, but when people do share in their journals it is valuable for others to see what they're doing

What to share: updates on work, insights, and examples of products: editorial calendar, social media policy, strategy document, training materials

Useful to get a reminder via email

Commit to last five minutes of coaching session to write or share something on wiki journal

Share a success from your FFL work this past month that is related to an idea or technique that you learned about in Houston? What are some challenges/issues? What questions do you have?

3. Peer Assist

Washington:
Experimented with asking their advocates through email to share their stories on FB as part of a virtual event

Useful to do a scan and mointor politicians social media presence and how they use it. Request to be their friends on FB

If politician responds to a story or content on a social media channel, follow up with them to see if they write a blog post

Arkansas

Experimented with getting more engagement on Twitter/FB and tracking it

On FB, tracked reach and virality to see what resonated

Consistent posting on FB keeps people engaged and getting the message out, when they don't post it drops off dramatically

California

Set up an editorial calendar and using themes each week - creating FB/Twitter content that matches theme

Goal is to get the staff and other UWs comfortable as a first step

Second step: tracking what resonates and sharing with the group

Texas

Event generated a lot of interaction, capturing it in rowfeeder

Had a number of partners with large networks participate

Metrics to look for: stickyness (number of RTs, how long the hashtag keeps being tweeted beyond the event)

Analyze your spreadsheet and look for partners to build in the conversation. Ask them to write about the issue

Tweet directly to legislators
