Here's a content idea for your weekly newsletter:Here's a little extra content for you to plug into the next few weeks of regular communication to your people. Maybe you can add it to a portion of your newsletter or send out a quick mass text for the next few weeks. This content shows people five ways to use your online presence to amplify their word-of-mouth outreach. This is education for your insiders, not your prospects—so make sure you properly filter any communications you send. Pay attention to the {brackets}, because there are a few places where you'll need to plug in your own relevant information. Otherwise, just copy & paste! Introduction: Over the next few weeks, we'll be looking at 5 different ways you can use our online tools to share your faith and your {church/school}. Here's idea #1... Week 1: Send a sermon to a friend. Have you ever had a conversation with a friend about a challenge in their life—then Pastor's sermon that Sunday spoke precisely to that point? {Copy the link to the Sermon page on our website//Share the link on Spotify//Send the YouTube or Facebook} to them with a short, thoughtful message. Week 2: Repost our posts to your stories! Every week, we put up posts on Facebook and Instagram. If a particular post or devotional thought resonates with you, we'd encourage you to repost it to your stories! It's a quick and easy way to share our account with your friends. Week 3: Use the Invite button on one of our Facebook events. When we set up an event on Facebook (like our {insert example here}), you'll find an "Invite" button on the right side of the event page. When you click that, Facebook will pull up a list of your friends. You can choose a few that might enjoy attending and it will send them an invitation. Week 4: Leave a Google review. More Google Reviews on our business make it more likely that we'll show up in Google searches like "{church/school} near me" or "{church/school} in {city}". If you have a few minutes, leave a review {here}. Week 5: Post in a local online group. Are you an active member of your neighborhood's Facebook group or an avid Nextdoor browser? {If we're putting on an event you think your neighbors would enjoy//If you think your neighbors would enjoy our school}, consider posting a casual message to the boards. There you have it! Sometimes we assume people are choosing not to do these things, when they might just need a reminder that these tools exist (and they're not at all scary to use!). Do you have more ideas? Just reply ✉️ Until next week, |

When it comes to social media, I simply cannot live without these tools: 1) Texture or background graphics Pick something that represents your brand or series theme.
