The topics:

Some background info from you-all:
a)      For how long has your FB page been up and running?
b)      For how long has your Twitter account be up and running?
c)      How actively managed are your social media accounts?

Topic 1: What have you tried to get website visitors to engage with you via social media? What worked? What didn’t? Why?
T1a: What could you do with/on your website to encourage FB engagement?

Topic 2: How do you manage visitors who seem determined to politicize content your church/organization does not want politicized?
Topic 2a: At what point do you go back channel? Cut off the conversation?

Topic 3: How do you manage social media burnout/overload? What’s your best advice for someone starting out?

This week's chat moderated by Meredith Gould (@meredithgould)
