Over the years I’ve come to find the value of keeping things simple. Whether it’s preparing a dish with just a few ingredients or not cramming my schedule with one thing after another. But keeping it simple doesn’t have to mean a bare bones existence. There’s a Swedish term called lagom (there are also several books about it) meaning everything in moderation or not too much, not too little.

Gary Vaynerchuk has lots of great marketing advice, but one of my favorite bits is “ Document, Don’t Create.” (Spoiler alert: Go to the end of this post to see how I just did this on Instagram!) Gary says that the hunger to create perfect content cripples you, and yet in order to get the most from social media, you have to share content consistently.

Nonprofits love sending email. It doesn't take all the printing time of direct mail. And it costs less. But what if your emails aren't getting to your list? In the last few weeks, Google and Yahoo have tweaked their algorithms - the systems they use to determine if your email is wanted or unwanted. In fact, Yahoo is reported to be deactivating thousands of email accounts that haven't been logged into.

Fundraising is quite the beast. It’s a sprawling, various, intricate process, and there are areas of it that nonprofits, especially new ones, tend to avoid. One of these areas is legacy giving, a type of donor-based fundraising that scares a lot of organizations, causing them to neglect it altogether. But it’s not that scary—at least it doesn’t have to be.

Content marketing… I find that most business leaders either love it or they hate it. I think few business leaders actually understand what content marketing it is yet alone understand the power and benefits it can provide for their business. The purpose of this post is not to educate you on what content marketing is, but instead to help you organize it, prioritize it and maximize the investment you have already made in content marketing to date.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards.

Usually it looks something like this: It’s not a bad idea to spend some time thinking about internal operations.
