Your society is doing important work.
The internet needs to see it.
Your society preserves stories, records, and local history that families cannot find anywhere else. New members, younger researchers, and out of town visitors often discover you first through Facebook, your website, or a quick search on their phone.
If your online presence looks quiet, people can assume your society is not active, even when your volunteers are working hard behind the scenes. My work is to help your online presence reflect the real energy, knowledge, and care that already exists in your community.
The problem is not passion.
It is time and a plan.
Most societies tell me a similar story:
-
Volunteers are already stretched thin
-
Posts happen in bursts, then go silent for weeks
-
One person knows the login and is nervous to touch anything
-
The board wants more members, but does not know what to post
-
Everyone is worried they will “break” the algorithm or look unprofessional
You are not alone. Membership has been slowly declining for many societies since the pandemic. At the same time, more people than ever are curious about family history and are looking for community online. Bridging that gap is where Genealogy & The Social Sphere comes in.
Society solutions that respect volunteer time.
I built Genealogy & The Social Sphere to give societies clear, realistic support, not another overwhelming to do list.
For societies that want to keep everything in house but need a roadmap.
You might use:
-
A simple content plan for 2 to 3 posts per week
-
Monthly prompts and ideas that tie into heritage months, holidays, and your location
-
Guidance on how board members can interact with posts to boost reach
-
Checklists for safe account access and handovers when volunteers change
This pairs well with my digital products like content calendars and planning kits, so your social media chair is never staring at a blank screen.
A focused 90-minute session to untangle your social media questions and leave with a plan your board can actually follow.

For societies that want consistent posting and engagement without asking one volunteer to carry everything.
Support can include:
-
Monthly content planning
-
Creating and scheduling posts
-
Highlighting your programs, library, and collections
-
Writing captions that invite conversation, not just announcements
-
Tracking basic analytics and sharing what is working
Packages are tailored to your society’s size, goals, and budget.
What it feels like to work together
Three simple steps
-
Connect
We start with a short call so I can learn about your society, your members, and your goals. -
Plan
I review your current presence and create a clear plan that fits your volunteer capacity and comfort with technology. -
Share and grow
We put the plan into action, adjust as we learn, and build a steady online presence that supports membership, programs, and community.
Your accounts and your members are treated with care.
When you invite me behind the scenes, you are trusting me with more than a login. Any access you provide, from social media accounts to analytics, is used only to support your society’s social media work. I do not sell or share your information for outside marketing.
We work at a pace that feels respectful to your board and membership, with clear boundaries around who has access to what.

Whether you are just getting started or trying to bring a tired page back to life, you do not have to figure it out alone. Together we can create a calm, consistent plan that fits your society and helps people find the community they have been looking for.
