Live streaming keeps increasing, which has brought about the growth of mobile video as a whole. 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 is a focal point for big companies. They are projecting streaming videos to be a top marketing strategy in the future. Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and YouTube invest significant sums of money into building and enhancing their live stream platforms, as per the Financial Times.
On the list of HUGE thing which is helping video content to become famous is the increasing 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 company is broadcasting to Facebook, Ustream and YouTube. I expect this to become more and more common for places of worships. Reaching young people is a huge segment of the population that stream videos. This implies the preacher must be articulate with a personality that they can feel during Live streaming.
Live streaming is a low-cost, easy-to-implement solution which not only serves to 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 indicate 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 images combined.
The Live chat options is vital for religious leaders that allow someone with the broadcasting church to interact with followers instantly. 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 worshippers to view services in their own personal language, expanding reach exponentially. While on demand video catch-up means messages endure long after the broadcast is over.
All of these features 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 years 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 type of video archived or live streaming. As per one of the major internet backbone carrier. Their projection is by 2020 video streaming will be 80 % of the online traffic.
Any ministry that would intend to outreach on the internet and in their community shouldn’t ignore the power of some kind of live or archived video storage online. You might use it to do many things. You can use these videos for nursing facilities 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 is possible for Ronald McDonald House, senior centers, foreign missions and a whole host of community outreach programs.
Good quality online church broadcast is a very good way to draw new people to your ministry. Churches which are growing and thriving with live streams will need to 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 new members off. So it is tremendously important to 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 are able to easily move on to another church website that will give them the best presentation. It doesn’t necessarily 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 Christ as their personal savior, the broadcast has to be perfect or else new people will not stay after they tune in.
Once your live broadcast is appealing, then there are benefits you will enjoyed. First some people might give to your ministry because people like when churches or organizations 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 get them to come and join that ministry.
If everything is aligned as per the above recommendations, I think your ministry will grow 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 short while ago churches that were on the net and streaming live were medium to mega churches. First 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 via the internet. Many of these churches have invested heavily into websites and equipment, but haven’t realized there may be more to getting new clients online than just streaming. If your website were never generating new visitors or you weren’t getting an influx of new prospective clients to your site in advance of live streaming or archiving your church services. They won’t find your company web site 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 people they know. With the archived and On-demand video streaming on the rise churches should find ways to tap into this increasing booming trend.
The real key to being successful for just about 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. If you’re selling cameras and you have a million 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’s where Streaming Churches Online can help your preaching ministry. We don’t just help churches stream online. We get new clients every day on our site 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 website. 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 plenty of money to raise your church name recognition, your church name recognition is low. Only if 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.
This is where Streaming Churches Online can help your ministry. We will market your ministries online by you live streaming or achieving your sermons with us. This will allow potential new members online who’re searching in your neighborhood to find your ministry without knowing your church name.
