First Let's Make It Easy:
There is only one reason to be on the internet for the Lord! Virtual space is EXACTLY the same as reality space. Therefore the same reason you are in ministry in reality space is your exact same reason for be online with your ministry! There is no difference!
You can minister, preach, teach, pray, counsel, evangelize; whatever you do in the four walls of your church you can interactively reproduce via an online media application! The only thing stopping you in creatively ministering online maybe your ability to understand the technology!
Master the internet communications tools and you are in ministry online!
I have discovered a wonderful one stop social media online guide manual! The website is an online handbook where you can get key instructions for many of the popular online media tools. Visit:
http://mashable.com
This fascinating website offers "how to" information for everything you will need to maximize web ministry production online. Put something of your content in a circle of technology and link all accounts to a master website and you are up and running!
Next Make It Purposeful!
Personally, I don't committ to any social media network or tool where I can't collect an email address! I must know who is in my online ministry and my goal is to gather those under the sound of my voice for the Lord. This is the same purpose as my reality ministry.
If you are involved in networks where you have an audience but you have no way of communicating to them other than that network---well, it's not very productive. For example the Twitter craze may allow you to reach countless but you have no way of contacting them personally. To collect email addresses from those who are following your threads is important!
Use my web ministry tip! Send them something free, where they have to register to receive it! Your favorite handout, lesson, devotional, sermon offered freely behind a login feature will extend your ministry reach AND get an email address for future distributions.
For example you may be reading my blog and not register for my blog sends. You enjoyed the read but I don't know who you are and I can't contact you again! So...
Enjoy my FREE e-book on HOW TO TWITTER! I will teach you in 5 minutes Twitter Basics for your ministry communications for FREE!
"Twitter 4 Jesus! FREE!~
Learn Twitter In 5 Minutes!"
You can download e-book FREELY!
Remain blessed,
