It’s Official! Facebook Is For Pastors!
Chances are if you spend time online, you have a Facebook account. If you don’t know what Facebook is, then get your head around these stats:
- More than 70 million users use Facebook
- Facebook is the 6th most trafficked website in the world
- Number one photo sharing application online
- 14 million photo’s uploaded each day
- More than 2 million people are on Facebook at any given time
Facebook is a social networking site where users have the opportunity to connect to people they know and share whatever they like. Sounds like the online world loves Facebook. So the question beckons, where do we need to be as a Church to reach this world?
Apart from manning our pews on the weekends, we need to be where the people are. And Facebook is one of those places. Chris Forbes, founder of Ministry Marketing Coach, has released a 31 page free eBook on the subject called, “Facebook For Pastors - How to build relationships and connect with people using the most popular social network on the internet.” This eBook covers the following topics:
- How to make the most of your profile information
- Tips for Networking with People in Facebook
- All about groups, messages, poking, etc
- Brand Your Ministry
- Meet prospects for your church
- Learn more about the members in your church
- Fine tune your communication skills
- Testimonies from Pastors who use Facebook
- and much more!
Download it for free here! I wanted to post it here to get the word out. I will read it in due course and pass it onto my Pastor for his consideration. Would you pass it onto yours?
