“Running for Office as an Online Candidate” Helps Local Political Candidates Create an Online Strategy
Montgomery, NY (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- OnlineCandidate.com has released ‘Running for Office as an Online Candidate – 2014 Edition’. It is an easy-to-use resource for local and issue-specific campaigns packed with tips, tricks and useful online strategies.
“Originally, Running for Office as an Online Candidate was a user guide for our campaign website service,” says Shane Daley, Partner of Daley Professional Web Solutions and OnlineCandidate.com. “As the website service became more sophisticated, an online help system was developed. Running for Office was then split into a separate book to help candidates enhance their overall online presence.”
The book has been updated annually since 2008 to keep up with social media, fundraising and other technical trends. The book is a primer written specifically for local-level campaigns who want to leverage online action to reach, communicate and motivate supporters.
