Take Time for Self Promotion
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well...at least take time to promote your church's website! Seriously, if you're going to invest a lot of time in designing your site and creating great content which will help spread the Good News, you need to make sure to promote your site, so all that hard work doesn't go to waste. There are two primary means to promote your website--offline and online. Offline methods are those methods which attract the attention of someone when they're not sitting at their computer, while online methods help computer users find your site. Offline: Be sure that the people in your pews know about your website--list the address in your worship folder (bulletin) and on your church stationery. When I launched our sermon podcast, I put the following slogan on our sign in front of the church, "Download Uplifting Sermons - www.capenazarene.org." And, I've asked our local newspaper to include our web-address with our listing in the religion section. If you have any regular advertising--newspaper, posters, radio spots, sports team sponsorships--be sure to include your website there as well. Online: One of your goals in online promotion is to work to increase the number of links to your site. Not only will this increase the chance of someone clicking a link to visit your site, but it may also improve your search engine rankings. Check out other websites in your town--the local newspaper, the official town website, the chamber of commerce, the tourism directory, etc.--and ask them to include a link to your site. Encourage members of your congregation who have blogs or other personal websites to link to your church website. Maybe you and a "sister church" can exchange links--and be sure your denominational website has your web address. Promoting your site will take some time, but even if you set aside an hour once a month, you'll find that you can greatly expand the reach of your internet ministry. Next month, we'll expand our discussion on promotion by looking at simple things you can do to prepare your site for search engines and directories.

Sale: May & June, 2007 - Deluxe Hosting
|
|
|
|
|
|
Save more than 20% off our regular prices for Deluxe Hosting during May and June of 2007. With our Deluxe Hosting accounts, you get 100GB of space and 1000GB of monthly transfer. Our regular price for Deluxe Hosting is $12.75/mo, but during during this limited time offer, you can purchase 1 or 12 months of hosting for $9.99/mo, or you can purchase two years for only $9.49/mo. This is particularly useful to you if you maintain more than one website. Instead of purchasing two economy plans ($81/yr for each plan), you can host as many sites as you want (size and transfer restrictions are shared among all the sites) for under $120/yr. Some churches run multiple websites: their church, their youth group, their Christian School, and even their pastor has a blog! Imagine the money you could save by consolidating those sites under a single account. If you want to take advantage of this special offer, you can upgrade your current economy plan to a deluxe plan and you'll only have to pay a pro-rated amount. You can do this directly through your customer control panel, or you can call one of our sales representatives at (480)624-2500. Labels: hosting, Sales

the owner of YourChurchWeb.net, is also a pastor and podcaster.
He and his wife Melody live near the coast of Maine with

in their effort to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Through websites, podcasts, radio and television, the Church
of the 21st century has the unique opportunity to be available to all

YourChurchWeb.net was begun in 2001 based on the conviction that every
church ought to have a website, and that the technology should be as
affordable as possible.
