Thanks to @johnwbryson on Twitter for the inspiration for this short post. It read:

Church Planter: #1 rule in Real Estate, location, location, location. #1 rule in Church Planting, relationships, rships, rships.

So very true. Many of the principles of marketing in this era of web and social networking also apply to Churches. Build relationships! Don’t just have a website, have a blog that invites comments. Don’t just have a Twitter account for people to stay up to date on events and happenings; interact with polls and words of wisdom.

Visit the What is Social Media page if you want to see a presentation on the importance of social media in the world today.

Twitter vs. Facebook

It’s really pretty simple. Twitter is about what you know. People search for keywords, they look in trending topics, retweet interesting posts and share knowledge. Facebook is more about who you know. Where you went to school, where you have worked and what activities/groups you are involved in.

Keep that in mind when working out your social media profiles. Make it easy to find you with specific keywords in Twitter and every detail about your past that will help you reach people.

What tips do you have for using Facebook vs. using Twitter? Post a comment below.

I’ve started up a fresh new site for your viewing pleasure. I’ll give you a rundown on how the design came together and the steps that I used to get it up and running and in front of you a little bit later on.

The basic tools that I used are here on these pages and I’ll add more depth with blog posts.
