Live streaming keeps growing, which has brought about the growth of mobile video as a whole. Customers are more frequently watching content on his or her smartphones and tablets, which has forced companies to alter their approaches. Live streaming has become a focal point for big companies. They are projecting streaming videos to be a top promotional tool in the future. Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and YouTube invest significant sums of money into building and enhancing their live stream platforms, according to the Financial Times.
One of the HUGE thing which is helping video content to become famous is the spiking of mobile video viewing. Google along with other search engines are looking at how contents fits on mobile devices. Church targeted audience is focus on young and on the go people. As video becomes mobile-first, you will continue to see large online companies and churches switch more to video content. Our customers are broadcasting to Facebook, Ustream and YouTube. I expect this to get more and more common for places of worships. Reaching teenagers is a huge segment of the population that stream videos. Therefore the preacher must be articulate with a personality that they can feel during Live streaming.
Live streaming can be a low-cost, easy-to-implement solution which simply not only expands reach for religious organizations but strengthens existing communities. In the modern world, churches are like any other businesses competing with other churches for hearts, minds – and ever-diminishing focus.
Figures give proof that live video is more irresistible to audiences: 80% tend to watch live video than read written text, for example, while Facebook estimates that nearly 80% of online audiences are busy watching videos. Broadcasting via social media also facilitates sharing, providing churches with an invaluable tool for spreading the word; social video generates 1200% more shares than text and images combined.
The Live chat options is crucial for religious leaders which enable someone from your broadcasting church to interact with followers right away. It’s also easy to implement online donations during or after broadcasts, helping religious bodies fund their growth while enabling followers to play a role by contributing. Simultaneous multilingual streams enable worshipers to look at services in their own individual language, expanding reach exponentially. While on demand video catch-up means messages endure long after the broadcast has finished.
All this functionality are easy to implement and enable churches not only to enhance their live streams and also add meaning and value for their followers. Some organizations are expanding their teaching in other ways.
There are those large churches that have been using this technology in quite a while now and are expanding their offering. Then there are new smaller organizations that just start their live online church streaming ministries videos broadcast. The low cost now is helping small budget churches to go toe to toe with larger more visible churches. This has help organizations everywhere to use their online ministry as an outreach tool. Most major platforms are offering some sort of video archived or live streaming. According to one of the major internet backbone carrier. Their projection is by 2020 video streaming will be 80 % of the web traffic.
Any ministry that would intend to outreach on the internet and in their community can’t ignore the power of some form of live or archived video storage online. You may use it to do many things. One can use these videos for convalescent homes that have a worship hall. This give them the abilities to host church service on location which will take away the need to transport their members to a church. The same is possible for Ronald McDonald House, senior centers, foreign missions and a whole host of community outreach programs.
Great quality online church broadcast is a very good way to draw new people to your ministry. Churches that are growing and thriving with live streams will need to have a great presentation. It is important to make effort to put out the best presentation to the audience. Because if it is not of a extremely high level you will turn potential newbies off. So it is tremendously imperative that you make sure the presentation is at an extremely high level because it has to be able to hold the attention of the people who newly discover your ministry online. Pointing your live feed to a banner or having folks who cannot sing or speak may have worked or hold people in the physical church, but not people online. They may easily move on to another church website that will give them a much better presentation. It does not matter your denomination. Catholic, Baptist, Christian – no denomination, Pentecostal, Churches of Christ, Nondenominational, Evangelical, Church of God, Holiness/Holy, Full Gospel, Independent Christian Church, Born Again or any other name that name Jesus Christ as their personal savior, the broadcast has to be perfect or else new people will not stay after they tune in.
When your live broadcast is attractive, then there are many advantages you will enjoyed. First individuals will give to your ministry because people like when churches or corporations are well organized. You will definitely draw new members because people love to be a part of something good. Your current members will refer families and friends to the ministry because it makes them proud to be part of something good. They will post links of your to social sites and send it in emails to friends, family, co-workers and everyone they know. If your members are excited, their excitement will rub off on their friends. This will even go further than just online. Once new members start visiting your physical location your members will spread their enthusiasm to them which will encourage them to come and join that ministry.
If everything is aligned as per the above recommendations, I believe your ministry proliferates locally and nationally. Streaming Churches Online would love to broadcast your ministry on our website and give you the notoriety your ministry deserved to spread the word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
A few years ago churches that were on the web and streaming live were medium to mega churches. First you would need lots of money to get the encoders and the equipment that you would need to be able to go live. What a difference a few years have made! Today anyone and everybody is live streaming their churches. Thanks God for small encoders that are a lot cheaper and smaller.
There’s a new challenge on the horizon for churches that are streaming live on the internet. Each one of these churches have invested heavily into websites and equipment, but haven’t realized there is more to getting new clients online than simply streaming. If your website wasn’t generating new visitors or you weren’t getting an influx of new customers to your site previous to live streaming or archiving your church services. They likely won’t find your webpage after you start broadcasting via the internet. Word of mouth is good, but no one should limit their church increase in this digital age just to the individuals they know. With the archived and On-demand video streaming on the rise churches need to find ways to tap into this increasing booming trend.
The solution to being successful for any websites is to be able to be discovered by customers or potential members using keywords searching for what you are offering on the 1st few pages of search engines, Google, Bing, Yahoo and all other search engines. Let’s think this through. When you are selling cameras and you have lots of other websites selling cameras, how will your business website get to the front of the line so prospective customers can find your page with the cameras you are selling?
That is where Streaming Churches Online will help your preaching ministry. We don’t just help churches stream online. We get new business every day on our website looking for church related news and videos. They found our site not just thru word of mouth, which is a great thing. They are finding us thru search phases according to what they are looking for on churches that are live streaming their services online. Visitors who are looking for words with online church or if they type in live church online they will be able to find our site. These are generally steps that church administrators should research to find out where they are in search. Unfortunately most church administrators only believe all they require to do is start streaming and the potential new member will come. This is the furthest thing from the truth. Most of the times when we mentioned these things to churches they look up their church by typing their church name in major search engines and their church come to the top of that search engine they believe things are going well. For the most part, some of the people we talked to seems satisfied that their ministry name is on a search engine. Unfortunately people find it hard to make the connection as to when they are looking for a Plummer online. If you knew the name of the Plummer you would just call that company. What one would normally type in is “best Plummer in Philadelphia” for example. This is no difference to a search engine when you are looking for a church. Just typing a church name and believe someone else is going to find your ministry is believing your ministry has great name recognition and everyone on the web is aware of your church. One question we always ask potential customers; how many people on the web know your church name? If you aren’t spending a lot of money to raise your church name recognition, your church name recognition is low. Unless you have a very popular ministry where there is some other platform that is driving people to inquire about your website then you will need better marketing for church growth.
