Yesterday I was on skype to my friend and buddy John in Sydney. John is a Christian entrepreneur and is really doing well marketing online. John is one of my go to guys when I need to bounce some ideas. We had a really good catch up about life firstly then he introduced me to a cool new website that I could use to intro some of my training and marketing videos.
This website looks pretty awesome, long gone are the days of slide shows. This website creates videos using pictures you may have on your facebook account, other web 2.0 sites or on your computer. It then allows you to integrate your music or some of their library then converts it into a professional video. This is a great tool to create quick videos to show at your Church.

Why is it that the church still isnt grasping the power of web 2.0 and social networking.
I recently went through a webinar with one of the most successful social marketers out there, Mr jack Humphrey. Jack has dominated social marketing for years and is one for the guys to really be a continued success out there and he is one of my go to guys if I need advise.
Jack was talking about myspace, youtube, facebook.. and how everybody goes to the most popular social network sites to create a buzz, but he went onto explain that these sites just arent niche based enough.
It got me thinking.. in any nuiche at all there are social networking sites specific to that niche. I did a google search that took me all of 5 seconds and it listed all of the Christian social network sites in a post from
I didnt realise that there was this many. These are great places to find other Christians and is great for the niche I am operating in.
For evanglelism purposes I thought of how to get a niche to work for you in the local area to provide
impact for your local church.
Here are 5 things you can do.
1. Go into groups on myspace, facebook for your city, town or district.
2. Research what people are talking about. What is the buzz in that niche?
3. Participate in the discussion
4. Look to build relationship s not go for the throat, you are wanting to build credibilty
5. Research other social networks that may be part of the discussion or be location specific.
