Live streaming has been growing, which has contributed to the growth of mobile video by and large. Quite a few people are more frequently watching content on his or her smartphones and tablets, which has forced companies to change their approaches. Live streaming has become a focal point for large companies. They are projecting streaming videos to be a top advertising device in the future. Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and YouTube invest significant sums of money into building and enhancing their very own live stream platforms, as stated by the Financial Times.
On the list of HUGE thing that is helping video content to become so sought-after is the increased amount of mobile video viewing. Google alongside 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 consumers are broadcasting to Facebook, Ustream and YouTube. I expect this to get more and more common for places of worships. Reaching children is a huge segment of the population that stream videos. This means the preacher must be articulate with a personality that they can feel during Live streaming.
Live streaming may be a low-cost, easy-to-implement solution which not just 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 concentration.
Figures show that live video is more appealing to audiences: 80% would rather 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 pictures combined.
The Live chat options is essential for religious leaders that allow someone from the broadcasting church to interact with followers live. It’s also easy to apply 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 worshippers to watch services in their own individual language, expanding reach exponentially. While on demand video catch-up means messages endure long after the broadcast ends.
All of these functions are easy to implement and enable churches not only to enhance their live streams but 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 for quite a time now and are expanding their offering. 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 popular churches. This has help organizations everywhere to use their online ministry as an outreach tool. Most major platforms are presently offering some type of video archived or live streaming. As reported by one of the major internet backbone carrier. Their projection is by 2020 video streaming will be 80 percent of the web traffic.
Any ministry that would intend to outreach on the web and in their community should not ignore the power of some type of live or archived video storage online. You can utilize it to do many things. You can use these videos for convalescent homes that have a worship hall. This provide them with the abilities to host church service on location which will reduce the need to transport their members to a church. The same may be done for Ronald McDonald House, senior centers, foreign missions and a whole host of community outreach programs.
Top quality online church broadcast is an effective way to draw new people to your ministry. Churches which are growing and thriving with live streams must have a great presentation. It is important to make effort to put out the most effective presentation to the audience. Because if it is not of a extremely high level you will turn potential newbies off. So it is tremendously crucial 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 people 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 appealing, then there are many advantages you will enjoyed. First some might give to your ministry because people like when churches or companies 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’ll 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 inspire them to come and join that ministry.
If everything is aligned as per the above recommendations, I think 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.
Not long ago churches that were on the web and streaming live were medium to mega churches. Initially you would need lots of money to obtain 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 is a new challenge on the horizon for churches that are streaming live over the web. The majority 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 you weren’t getting an influx of new people to your site prior to live streaming or archiving your church services. They won’t find your web page after you start broadcasting over the web. Word of mouth is good, but no one should limit their church increase in this digital age just to the people they know. With the archived and On-demand video streaming growing in number churches must find ways to tap into this increasing booming trend.
The real key to being successful for any 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 serps. Let’s think this through. When you are selling cameras and you have lots of other websites selling cameras, how will your internet site get to the front of the line so prospective clients can find your page with the cameras you are selling?
This is where Streaming Churches Online should 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’re 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 website. These are steps that church administrators should research to find out where they are in search. Unfortunately most church administrators only believe all they have 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? Unless you are spending hard earned money to raise your church name recognition, your church name recognition is low. Only when 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.
That is where Streaming Churches Online can help your ministry. We will promote your ministries online by you live streaming or achieving your sermons with us. This would allow potential new members online who’re searching in your town to find your ministry without knowing your church name.
