Get Your Facebook Friends to Spread Your Message

Wouldn't it be nice if you could get all those folks who have "liked" you on Facebook to spread the word about the great work you are doing or about your upcoming fundraising campaign?  A new app lets you do just that.  DonateYourAccount.com has an app that enables your Facebook pals to donate their account to your cause so it will automatically re-post your most recent posting. 

The person donating their account remains in control of who sees the re-posting, how often things post to their account, and can withdraw their account at any time.  Your agency doesn't have access to their Facebook account, the donor's account just automatically re-posts for you.

This new method of social marketing lets you reach out to a group of potential supporters that you may not have otherwise had a way of accessing.  Sure, some of the groups listed include Torres v. Zombies, but there are also nonprofit groups with a local interest like Boys and Girls Club of Hampshire County. 

You can also have people donate their Twitter account.  To find out more, go to www.donateyouraccount.com.
