In Part 1: Everything a Rabbi and Educator Needs to Know About Vine, we introduced the reader to Vine, and demonstrated various ways how a rabbi or educator could make use of this new app. The post even generated discussion on Twitter.

In part two, we want to continue by sharing with you some great tips we received in response to the first post from Mrs. Laura Ben-David, the Social Media, Marketing and Special Projects Coordinator at Nefesh B’Nefesh.

1) Mrs. Ben-David encourages everyone to proceed with caution. Anything goes on the internet, and the same is true for Vine.

2) Search for inspiration and good ideas (we provide that and more below!).

3) Take your time, plan it out (for more on storyboarding see Part 1).

4) Do something cool, surprising, funny, or create the perfect loop video. Be certain that you know the right hashtags to use that will help additional people find your content and then tag away.

5) Once your Vine video is made, be sure to share it everywhere!

This fifth point, echoes the advice of Rocky Walls, a communications strategist, who also writes how important it is to, “Have a plan. If Twitter is a micro-blogging platform, Vine is a micro-storytelling app. You will need a micro-plan (like this video planning template). Your strategy should be based on how you want your audience to react, what you want your audience to do and why.” Walls also explains that, “Marketing techniques can not only help businesses to sell products, but they can also help you “sell” information to students. A Vine video may engage students in a new way, or inspire them to check out information related to what you’re studying in class.”
