Online Ministry Video: Are You Online?

Discover The Power Of An Online Ministry Video Plan

The growth in numbers of people on the internet has spurred an interest in online ministry video for those serious about their vision.to impact the world for Jesus Christ. It is an opportunity to tap into the great harvest available online, to reach the uttermost parts of the world. As Jesus commanded:"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"

A powerful example of online ministry video can be seen by Streaming Faith, Lightsource.com, XP Media, among many other excellent ministries who see the advantage of using the internet for the Gospel.

Even the major Christian television stations have their programs readily available with video online, right down to applications for I-Phones and other smart phones.

No doubt people, whether at home or on their phone, are online. The fact that 60% of all internet traffic is video watching and that YouTube is the second largest search engine, should get any minister of the Gospel thinking about taking advantage of those watching eyes.

Or how about these stats from Comscore.com, the leader in measuring the digital world: “80 million U.S. Internet users watched online videoduring the month. YouTube delivered video to morethan 135 million viewers during the month, reaching 3out of every 4 online video viewers at an average of 96 videos per viewer.”

I love reading how leaders in the marketplace are seeing the amazing value of having a ministry marketing plan. Devin Maddux of ResonateOrDie.com states:

"But what if you adjusted your understanding of the word “marketing” to a more accurate definition? What if “marketing” could be reclaimed for the Gospel?

"Evangelical theologian and scholar Carl F. H. Henry once said, “The Gospel is only good news if it gets there in time.” As ministers of the Gospel, we need to be quicker and more persuasive than Madison Avenue. It is our mission, and it is your responsibility, to “market” your ministry if you are driven by the Great Commission."

Just recently I read another great blog post on this change today toward the internet in regards to ministry. Carol Howard Merit writes in her post "Virtual Community", (http://www.alban.org/conversation.aspx?id=9305),how she remembered 17 years ago when her husband worked in the computer department at Sam's Club. He came home one day talking about the super information highway coming on the internet, she recalled.

Now, the reality is here she concedes as she daily depends on the internet.

She writes: "Even though it feels like an either/or proposition—as if we must choose to spend time with either our church community or the computer—it is not. When I consider the carefully crafted emails about deep pastoral issues that appear in my inbox in the middle of the night, I know we cannot ignore the radical changes of the last ten years, nor can we disregard the evolutions in the years to come. Time on the computer is real ministry." (Carol Howard Merit).

I say yes! And I see many great efforts by ministers with limited resources at the time.

3 Christian Marketing Steps Online Ministry

These three Christian marketing steps can be a great starting point whether you are looking to promote your ministry online or trying to earn extra money with your Christian home business.

I recently attended a seminar with internet marketing great Stephen Pierce, and special guest, Power Team International founder, Bill Walsh. I received amazing wisdom from these men who are at the top of their fields in internet marketing and network marketing businesses.

I took lots of notes and found these three business keys you can use in your ministry marketing steps or Christian home based business plan.

You can look at them as beginning steps for a ministry marketing plan online. You can also check out The Simple Ministry Marketing Training Series offered by Ministry Marketing Productions.

If you are ready to harness the power of the internet for preaching, promotion or profits, I believe these three points will prove beneficial to you to begin the journey!

A-C-T Three Ministry Marketing Steps

The three steps spell ACT:

A: A stands for assess. This means assess where you are now in your ministry marketing or work from home business. Are you in the beginning and wondering where to go? Or are you in the middle with frustration and aggravation because you see no results, no traffic, no resources gained? Just acknowledge where you are and go on from there. Don’t condemn or judge, just use this as your starting point. C Choose to act. Choose to begin to make good choices on what to feed your mind. Choose positive images and words. Make a choice that you are going to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and you are going to walk out that faith with work! Words are so powerful. Life and death is in your tongue! In addition, choose wisely with the coaches and mentors who can play a role in your ministry or business plan. Commit to not just learning but applying what you learn. To learn means you have to act. Act means work. Commit and recommit every day to maintaining your relationship with God. Yes, it is a pivotal role in your ministry and business! God can download information, wisdom and strategy in your time with Him in the Word, like no other person. He can help you refine your sskills you do have. He can download HIS favor at a moments notice. He can set you before the right people at the right time to make your destiny not just a dream but a reality. Choose personal development as a priority. That might mean attending a seminar, from Dani Johnson to Kenneth Copeland….to a free blogging course! God will reveal the mentors and teachers to you. You simply have to choose to trust Him for the provision, direction and simply GO…choose to ACT…WORK! T Be thankful. Find joy in your journey today. Don’t let your longing for something in the future slay your appetite for living today! Don’t allow your present circumstances determine your future. God will prepare you for your destiny. Don’t freak out during the preparation. The process is the preparation for your destiny! Think about it. Would a father give his 11 year old son keys to his NASCAR style race car? I think not. If he was grooming his son for a racing career, I believe he’d start with the small racing style cars and work his son up from stage to stage to get to that NASCAR car. Imagine the thrill of that Father when he sees his son (or daughter) be patience, work and learn how to be the best race car driver each stage of that destiny. (I wonder if this is how the late Dale Earnhardt felt about his son?) Finally, remember that the One Who has given you the vision will provide the provision. Where God calls, He enables. Some final thoughts: "Our words are containers. They contain our destiny." – Jesse Duplantis "No one’s opinion is as important as your destiny." – Stephen Pierce God calls us not to be mountain climbers, but mountain dissolvers!" – Jesse Duplantis

Dr. Barry Lee Available To Minister In Your Area

Anointed And Powerful

Receive An IMPARTATION of The Anointing

Introduction by Dr. Mark J. Chironna

"Dr. Barry Lee is a pastor in our global network of churches and church leaders. Barry began to participate with us a few years back. I have come to know he and his wife intimately in the last eight years and value them deeply.

Dr. Barry Lee is a competent pastor, preacher, and teacher. Barry has an earned doctorate in theology, is a student of the Scriptures, and exhibits profound proficiency in his exegesis of a text and his delivery.

He is a compassionate and caring individual who loves people and goes out of his way to be a servant who leads as opposed to a leader who serves. In today's environment that is crucial to healthy development of leadership and those that work with leadership.

Dr. Barry Lee has great people skills and is extremely personable. It is difficult not to like Barry, and very easy to love Barry. He is a man of integrity and will swear to his own hurt and not change, even when his character is falsely accused.

Dr. Barry has a heart for cultural diversity and in his ministry he has successfully bridged the gap between races, classes, and genders. This is crucial in the post-modern world if we are to genuinely model reconciliation and reach the harvest that God intends to gather through His Church. He is one of the greatest apostolic and prophetic voices in the nation and I count him more than a co-laborer in the gospel; I count him a faithful friend."

--Bishop Dr. Mark J. Chironna

Is There Life After Meth? Part 1 - Video Ministry

Is There Life After Meth? Part 2 “The Heidi Series”

Is there life after meth?

Firebrand Video Ministry presents “The Heidi Series” Part 2, a special message of hope for those who are struggling with an addiction, or parents who have daughters and sons chained to drugs.

Listen to Heidi as she shares a powerful testimony of VICTORY in Jesus over this monster of a drug, called “meth”.

“….the second my heart was in it (for recovery), that’s when God started to make it clear. That’s when He started moving all the obstacles, all the mountains out of the way…Bringing restoration where there should not have been restoration. It just took my heart being committed. If you are struggling with that, release yourself from having to be perfect. God doesn’t expect you to be perfect. He just wants your heart bent toward Him. All it takes is your heart toward HIM!

Check out this video as Heidi and Pastor Dave answer questions to uncover keys to unlock the door of bondage to ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ.

Dr. Barry Lee: The Mission

The Mission of Dr. Barry Lee Ministries

The Mission of Dr. Barry Lee and Living Word Church is to teach Christians worldwide who they are in Christ Jesus and how to live a victorious life in their covenant rights and privileges. The fulfillment of that mission takes place when those believers become rooted and grounded enough in God's Word to reach out and teach others these same principles.

• We are called to assist believers in becoming rooted, grounded and established in the Word of God by teaching them to give God's Word first place in their lives (Colossians 1:23; Psalm 112).
  

• We are called to reveal mysteries, the victorious revelations of God's Word, that have been hidden from the ages (Colossians 1:25-28).
  

• We are called to build an army of mature believers, bringing them from milk to meat, from religion to reality. We are called to train them to become skillful in the word of righteousness, to stand firm in the spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness (Hebrews 5:12-14; Ephesians 6:10-20).
  

We are called to proclaim that "Jesus Is Lord" from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around.

Dr. Barry Lee shares:

A worship service at Living Word of Ridgecrest, will bring you right into the presence of God!  It's a safe place with a life changing message. We believe that you will have such an encounter with God that you will never be the same again. 

Whether you are bound by drugs or alcohol, your marriage is on the rocks, your children are acting out, or you just want more of God; Christ will meet you at Living Word and change your life for the better!

 

This is YOUR opportunity to receive a life-changing miracle, so plan to visit us this Sunday at 10:30am. We promise to love you to life!

Do You Have A Precise Ministry Marketing Plan?

    Simple Ministry Marketing Methods:           Using Precise Marketing

Success in having a ministry marketing plan online must include precise marketing strategies.

Precise and proven internet marketing is what this means!!

It is one major key to the acronym S-P-E-A-K for success, that is featured in the book, Six Market Plan Steps,  with online Christian promotion by Theresa Croft.  It's also explained in the latest DTC Ministry Marketing training series.

Two Mentors: My Path To Finding Precise Marketing Strategies

I have experienced this first hand in the past year of the difference between precise methods to marketing online and just hitting and missing with a mixed bag of strategies.

I have spent my share of money on different "guru" packages, courses and e-books.

And I have felt like I was spinning my wheels doing different things but seeing no real results.

I can tell you I got to a point of wondering…"Will any of this ever work"

My turning point came when I came in contact with two internet marketing giants.One was Frank Sousa, co-developer of Traffic Geyser. I was blessed to make a connection with Frank, as he was from my old home town of Spokane, Washington.

He was gracious enough to call me and spend some time mentoring me with his wisdom in regards to a video marketing strategy for an affiliate product I was trying to market to finance my ministry marketing vision. Frank is like a father figure to me. I felt so blessed to spend some time on the phone gleaning wisdom. I still stay in touch with him via e-mail. He does not mince words but speaks truth! I am so excited because recently Frank has lit a fire again in me in regards to using video as one precise marketing method.

I can honestly attest that Frank's advise is the reason why I have been able to get myself and my client's numerous high rankings in search engine organic traffic for keywords.

It is ONE of my favorite precise marketing strategies!!

---

The other internet marketing giant I came across was Stephen Pierce. I gave his

MRMI Super Cash program a trial spin for $1 for 30 days.

I was barely into that 30 days when I saw immediate results from some basic methods that Stephen was teaching. For one, I increased traffic to my main site by over 50%. I can't express the thrill in learning one or two strategies, that I had no clue about before watching live webinars with Stephen, that worked! No black hat tricks. Just proven internet marketing strategies that have worked for my mentor for over 10 years!

In addition to this, I received amazing advice on marketing with blogs, forums, and affiliate marketing. It was "no brainer" for me to continue on with his training program!

So I guess a key to finding that precise marketing strategy has a lot to do with aligning yourself with mentors who have had success, and who over deliver on value.

---

 

Stephen Pierce, along with his wife Alicia, are now not only my coaches but my friends. I have spent time training at their home, have witnessed their integrity and heart to over deliver. So I can attest they would be the best coaches for you to learn THE BEST marketing strategies…AT the most reasonable price. They over deliver every time. To fluff or filler, just the real deal!

SIMPLE MINISTRY MARKETING!

Ministry Marketing Online: 6 Steps

If you are looking to take advantage of the growing number of people online today, you can take these six steps for your own ministry marketing plan to promote your ministry.

The great thing about these steps is most of them only require your time and not as much from your wallet.

Step One

WHY? Why do you want to pursue an online marketing plan? Know and write out your purpose, your vision, your mission that explains the purpose of your pursuit. Your ministry marketing plan is only as powerful as your preparation. Know your reason why!

Step 2

WHO? Who is your target audience? Who are you trying to connect with in your particular group in your ministry marketing plan? For example, a Southern Gospel singer will not pursue a contemporary Christian music audience. He'll focus on those who are familiar with the sounds of Southern Gospel Music. Narrow it down to a specific niche.

Step 3

HOW? How are you going to connect with your niche audience? Implement the POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA:


Sign up and establish your own (free) page at these sites:

a) Facebook
b) Twitter
c) LinkedIn
e) YouTube
f) MySpace
g) ShoutLife, Xianz, or BlabLive.com (Christian Social Sites) (ie. Blablive.com/videoministry)
h) Tango (Christian Video Site)
i) Blogger.com

This list can go on but the sites above would be a great start for you as you start to promote your ministry online.

Step 4

What do you have to add VALUE to your niche market? What can you provide for free to develop a list of contacts? This in turn leads to what you have of value that you can market and sell to your niche audience.

FREE:
Blogs--To share your thoughts, your wisdom, your gifts and talents
E-Book
Videos
Webinars
Music

To Sell/offer at a price:

Your own product(s)
Affiliate products
Information products
Webinars
DVD's/videos
Teaching/Speaking engagements
Performances (musicians)

Step 5


When do you communicate with your niche audience? This is a key and one powerful step to your ministry marketing plan. Find a great auto-responder, a computer program that automatically answers and sends e-mail. I prefer Aweber. As you give away information, you can ask for a name and e-mail first. Before you know it, you have a list that you can communicate with and develop trust.

Step 6

Where can your target audience find you online? Can they find you? It's not enough just to set up a web site and think people will flock to your site. A good understanding of search engine optimization is a must in any market plan online. Here are other simple SEO steps to learn:

-How To Get High Rankings For FreeGetting
-Pay Per Click Strategies
-Understanding keywords (free keyword tools)
-Understanding Google's advanced and extra options

These six steps will be a great foundation from which to spring into action for your own ministry marketing plan online to promote your ministry, to promote you!

4 Steps To A Simple Ministry Marketing Plan

4 Steps To A Simple Ministry Marketing Plan

4 Steps To A Simple Ministry Marketing Plot For Promotion

Do you have a ministry marketing plot or strategic course of action for your ministry promotion or Christian home business online?

I have found having a basic plot of action can be crucial in experiencing success whether working for my clients or simply looking to earn extra money online for provision for my vision.

Here is a video explaining my ministry marketing plot, based on the acronym P – L – A – N.
The Ministry Marketing Plot Of Action:
P stands for Predetermine your goals. Be specific with what you want to accomplish. Write it down and look at it often. You know the saying, “out of sight out of mind.” These goals need to be burned into your heart and mind. Break your goals down into a 90 or 120 day period. Make them real, where you can accomplish them.

I recently had a 90 day goal and would place hash marks in the back of my Bible. I recorded significant events that happened along those 90 days. I didn’t quite make all of my goals, but accomplished enough to help me see even more clearly the Hand of God in my life. He knows my dreams and visions. He gives me the desires of my heart!!!!!
“L” stands for Lay out a strategic course of ACTION!. For example, if you are looking to have a ministry marketing plot online to promote your Christian music or your ministry, you’ll want to identify your target audience. What kind of lead generation system will you use? Will you have people opt-in for something for free, or subscribe to your newsletter, your e-zine?

Part of laying out a course of action means work! You want to be able to learn and work out what you are learning in the process.

For example, I have learned from my coach, Stephen Pierce, specific steps to gain more views on my YouTube videos. I watched the webinar, took notes, and was even given the specific instructions explaining each step. Then it was up to me to take action, shoot the videos, and work out each of those steps of action.

Stephen Pierce At Ultra Internet Boot Camp

It was quite incredible to see results. I even won the grand prize in his video contest with the MRMI Super Cash team! He gave us all the exact steps he uses to gain massive views on his videos and high organic rankings in Google with those wonderful thumbnails showing the video. So, each person on this team who followed these steps, gained the most views, and had well produced videos, would be the grand prize winner! I won an awesome free camera! I also accomplished one of my goals in that 90 day period!

Anyway, laying out a strategic course of action that will produce results is key. (If you want to learn that YouTube strategy, click here to learn how you can!
“A” stands for Adjust your priorities! No matter if you are looking for a ministry marketing plot that produces results or simply wanting to find ways to earn extra money online, you should make personal development a priority. It might mean getting up earlier to spend more time in the Word. It also might mean investing in your finances to go to a training seminar or attend a conference.

If you have to watch less television to learn a new skill, do it! Make it a top priority to take care of your mind and your body! Go on a quick from negative words. Make it a habit to develop positive images of where you see yourself going in your ministry marketing plot or business venture earning the finances to be free to serve God!

If you want it terrible enough, adjusting your priorities will not be an inconvenience for long.
Finally, the “N” stands for No excuses! No matter the circumstances, the lack in your bank account, the storm in your relationships, make no excuses to not work. (“You can’t make excuses and make money at the same time.” -Stephen Pierce)

You can’t have a successful ministry marketing plot online or have a chance to earn extra money online while making excuses, such as you don’t have the time, or tech ability, the finances, or…..

To not make excuses will mean a shift in your thinking for sure. It may mean battling your fears of what other people will say if you step out in faith with trying to do something on the internet.

Please don’t let someone’s negative words, or someone clipping your your wings with sarcasm, keep you down. You are an eagle, not a chicken. Leave the chickens on the ground, look up, and glide, glide baby glide!

As you continue to flap those wings (work) and glide with a plot of action, you will be soaring before you know it!

So dig deep. Write out your plot. Act on the goals. Find the precise methods to make your goals a reality. Adjust your priorities to make the time to work the plot with no excuses.

You can do this.

Your dream can be a reality. Provision for your vision can happen.

Ready to write out your plot?

“Then the LORD answered me and said:

“Write the vision
And makplain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.”
Habakkuk 2:2-3
