A short while ago churches that were on the web and streaming live were medium to mega churches. You would need lots of money to acquire the encoders and also 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. Thank God for small encoders that area lot cheaper and smaller.
There’s a new challenge coming for churches which are streaming live over the web. Many of these churches have invested heavily into websites and equipment, but haven’t realized there is more to getting new clients online than just streaming. If your website wasn’t generating new visitors or your weren’t getting a plethora of new prospective clients to your site previous to live streaming or archiving your church services. They won’t find your website after you start broadcasting online. Word of mouth is good, but no one should limit their church growth in this digital age just to the folks they know. With the archived and On-demand video streaming becoming increasingly popular churches have to find ways to tap into this up and coming booming trend.
The key to being successful for all websites is to be able to be found 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 Google. Let’s think this through. When you are selling cameras and you have lots of other websites selling cameras, how will your web page get to the front of the line so prospective clients can find your page with the cameras you are selling?
That’s the place where Streaming Churches Online might help your preaching ministry. We don’t just help churches stream online. We get new customers 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 which 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 web-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 ought to do is start streaming and the potential new members 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? Unless you are spending plenty of money to raise your church name recognition, your church name recognition is low. Only when you have very popular ministries where there is some other platform that is driving people to inquire about your website then you will need better marketing for church growth.
