So why does your ministry need to get on social media?  What are the real benefits?

Let’s first define social media:

“Using online technology to create valuable conversation and mutually beneficially relationships.”

So the idea of social media involves:

• understanding online technology (these are the FREE or low-cost tools people everywhere are using)
• learning how this technology is IDEAL for creating valuable conversations (people talking about what God’s doing in your ministry)
• exploring how to achieve real ROI for time spent on social media (benefiting everyone involved)

Now, here are 10 benefits that I hope will prove to you why your ministry needs to be harnessing the power of social media.

Some of the highlights include:

• “EVERYONE’S DOING IT” – People are talking.  Lots of people.
• “OUT OF SIGHT IS OUT OF MIND” - There’s a lot of clutter out there.  People are busy and there’s only so much information they can absorb.  They talk about, pray about and even contribute to that which is on their minds.
• “POWER TO THE PEOPLE” -  People rally to stories that impact their lives and they share with their friends about organizations who are making a difference.
• “WORD OF MOUTH ON STEROIDS” - Social media is like word of mouth online – it is highly exponential and it costs you virtually nothing!
• “WE’RE ON THE GO” – With the constant increase of use of portable communications devices and smart phones (i.e., iPhones and the Blackberry), people are getting information throughout the day and into the night.  And most of it is by using social media.
• “SOMETHING TO RALLY AROUND” - People are hungering to be a part of something significant.  They want their time and their money to make a difference.  Social media is simply a powerful web of tools to enable that to happen in an inexpensive yet potentially big way.   What will you use social media to rally people to?
