GUEST ARTICLE: Take a Vacation from Social Media
https://www.ffa.org/2017/05/09/take-vacation-from-social-media/
Hi guys! My name is Alexa Curtis and I am a teen influencer and bullying expert. When I was 12, I started a blog to inspire other teens to follow their dreams. Now, I get to follow mine and inspire you to follow yours! I wanted to talk a bit about the positive and negative sides of the web. While I know the pitfalls of social media, I also know and understand the importance of social media for personal connections, as well as businesses. Sometimes, I wake up and feel so stressed out and overwhelmed with the internet. I hate knowing that I’m supposed to wake up each morning and immediately check my Instagram or Facebook feed, mainly because that’s my job.

3 Tips For Social Fundraising
https://www.ffa.org/alumni-supporters/3-three-tips-for-social-fundraising/
Crowdfunding services like GoFundMe.com and DonorsChoose.org can be useful tools for FFA chapters, but there are a few things to keep in mind when soliciting donations online: 1. Explain Take the time to clearly explain why you are requesting money and, if possible, detail how every penny will be used. People, especially strangers, are far more likely to give to your cause when they know exactly how you plan to spend their hard-earned money. 2. Be reasonable Ensure you are asking for a reasonable amount of money to achieve your goals. Most crowdfunding sites give you the option to update your campaign with new or shifting needs, which means you can make adjustments later if you end up needing more than you originally requested. 3. Be mindful Be mindful of the middle. Research shows that campaigns typically raise 42 percent of their funds in the first and last three days of their duration, so it’s a good idea to have a midcampaign strategy in place.
