Twitter Jump Start is a fantastic tool for nonprofits that have been wondering what all that “twitter stuff” is all about. John Haydon, of Corporatedollar.org, lays out a simple to follow plan for setting up your account, customizing your profile, and conducting a campaign.

Particularly useful is a “Twictionary” that helps you understand the language of twitter and “10 Twitter Tips to Increase Online Donations.” You will want to share this free download with your development staff and board. For those who are skeptical about how Twitter can help your organization, Twitter Jump Start will win them over!
