2015 Part II: Leveraging Social Media (How to Use It
Effectively)
Slide 31
2015 1. Pick the right platform You can use all sorts of social
media platforms (Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) but to keep things
simple, Facebook is the one you should spend most of your time
using. - Church people are on Facebook in droves. - This is where
youre going to find church musicians, congregations, pastors,
etc.

apply online!
Slide 33

Solicit feedback The same interpersonal dynamics apply online!
Slide 34
2015 4. Give, give, give (dont try to take much) Offer value to
Facebook friends and supporters Provide helpful info/links Be
engaging! Be inspiring! Be funny! Your primary sales efforts should
NOT happen through social media -Its about establishing trust and a
personal connection -Its about offering yourself as a resource
-Stray away from constantly pitching products/services
Slide 35
2015 5. Limit Your Time Social Media benefits dont happen
overnight. Social Media is not the be-all-end-all The key is to
post consistently, not incessantly My recommendation 2-3 posts a
day at 10am, 1pm, and 3pm (Note: Facebook allows you to schedule
your posts for future dates. You could take an hour or so on Friday
and plan all your posts for the next week.)
