Cooperative Living Magazine's
Expanding Social-Media Presence
Not only can we share with you through Facebook, but we like when you share with us, too.
S
ocial media's the thing these days.
Take Facebook.
It's a popular, free-access socialnetworking
website. Users can join
networks organized by city, workplace,
school and region to connect and interact
with other people. People can also add
friends and send them messages, and
update their personal profile to notify
friends about themselves. The website
has more than a billion users.
Facebook connects people and
businesses around the globe. It's a place
where you can share what's happening in
your life with a single sentence, or interact
with your favorite politician or publication
with a few clicks of the mouse.
And that's why Cooperative Living
magazine is on Facebook. We want to
connect with you, our reader. By " liking "
us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/
cooperativeliving, you'll get to view
interesting links, find out about current
and upcoming articles in the magazine,
get a heads-up on contests and, most
importantly, to give us your ideas on
how we can make Cooperative Living
even more interesting and useful to
readers like you.
Through our Facebook page, we share
everything from energy-efficiency tips
to a behind-the-scenes look into how we
prepare the magazine each month. We
will also feature links to events going
on in your community, as well as
additional information on topics we
feature in the magazine.
Not only can we share with you through
Facebook, but we like when you share
with us, too. You can post your favorite
cooperative-related photos or share your
favorite energy conservation tips on our
wall. Or, like reader Virginia Frost of
Danieltown, you can just stop in to say
hello. She wrote, " So glad to see that
Cooperative Living magazine is on
Facebook! I have missed it for years. "
Cooperative Living magazine also has a
presence on Instagram and Pinterest.
www.co-opliving.com
Instagram is a wildly popular photosharing
mobile app. On Instagram, words
are minimal and photos are high-impact.
It's a social-media platform known for its
more than 80 million slice-of-life images
posted per day; an evocative thread of
images that tells a story about the
individual or business that posts them.
Through our presence on Instagram,
Cooperative Living magazine hopes to
connect with our readers in a different way
than through our Facebook presence. We
hope to create a personal environment for
our followers and offer through Instagram
a different perspective on the magazine, its
content, the member cooperatives it
serves, its readers, and even the faces
behind the magazine. We invite you to
also stay connected with Cooperative
Living by following our Instagram page at
www.instagram.com/cooperativeliving
magazine.com.
Pinterest is a pinboard-style photosharing
website that allows users to create
and manage theme-based image collections
such as events, videos, news and more.
Users can browse other pinboards for
inspiration, " re-pin " images to their own
pinboards, or " like " photos.
Our Cooperative Living boards include
the following: " energy smart, " " cooperatives, "
" DIY, " " Featured, " " CL issues, " " food &
recipes, " " electric industry, " " gardening, "
" kids " and " travel. " If you are on
Pinterest, please be sure and follow us
at www.pinterest.com/coopliving! 
