Do you have an intentional strategy for the way you will train and engage your parents and volunteers online?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this digital age, there\u2019s no denying space must be made for learning to effectively engage those in your sphere of influence in new ways. Nearly every school, corporation, non-profit, and restaurant has determined their strategy for meeting people where they are digitally. Your church is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a beginner when it comes to social media, we&#8217;re here to help. Here are three simple steps you can take today to begin building a social media strategy for your online presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-determine-your-target-audience-and-platform\">1. Determine your target audience and platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself,<strong><em> \u201cWho are you trying to reach and where are they gathering online?\u201d<\/em><\/strong> The social media platform you decide to start with should always be determined by your target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to reach parents and student volunteers, you might find they are likely not congregating in the same digital spaces consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure where to begin, a good rule of thumb might be to start with Facebook, which is still one of the most used social media platforms in the U.S., ranking in second after YouTube, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/fact-sheet\/social-media\/\">according to Pew Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-social-media-stats\">Social Media Stats<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nearly 80% of 18 \u2013 49 years olds use Facebook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roughly three-quarters of Facebook users visit the site on a daily basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>75% of 18 \u2013 24 year-olds use Instagram<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start with Facebook, another question to consider is whether you\u2019ll use a Facebook Page or a Facebook Group. Facebook Pages are still a great platform for visitors to get a glimpse of who you are as a ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the analogy of a house, you might think of your Facebook Page as your \u201cfoyer\u201d where visitors come to learn what\u2019s happening at your church and get a first impression. You can share events, classes and studies happening in your ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groups, however, can be thought more of as your \u201ckitchen table\u201d, where meaningful moments are shared between those who are now connected to your ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here it\u2019s safe to post photos, prayer requests, wins, fails and everything in between. You also have the ability to upload files (curriculum!) and give lead volunteers or influential parents access to share administrative responsibility. Community is becoming more of a priority at Facebook, and Groups are where community is built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-create-a-daily-posting-social-media-strategy\">2. Create a daily posting social media strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself, <em><strong>\u201cWhat exactly are you going to post and when?\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stay in front of your audience and increase the likelihood of engagement, you might consider posting every day. If this idea intimidates you, no worries\u2014there are a number of handy social media schedulers that will do the heavy lifting for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most scheduling tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/\">Buffer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hootsuite.com\/\">Hootsuite<\/a> have free plans that allow you to connect to and schedule posts across multiple social networks. If set up well, these tools have the potential of saving you hours of work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, posting daily won\u2019t have nearly as much of an impact if you\u2019re not strategic about the kind of content you\u2019re posting. (Hey, we wouldn\u2019t be <a href=\"https:\/\/orangeblogs.org\/orangeleaders\/2018\/02\/16\/easiest-way-explain-orange-strategy-team\/\">Orange if we didn\u2019t talk strategy<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only should you post content that is fresh and engaging, but also consider posting specific content on certain days to give your audience an element of \u201cunpredictable predictability.&#8221; Feel free to use a framework like the one below or come up with a version of your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sample-social-media-framework-for-children-s-ministry\">Sample Social Media Framework for Children&#8217;s Ministry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Day<\/td><td>Sample Strategy for Volunteers:<\/td><td>Sample Strategy for Parents:<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Monday<\/td><td>Start the week off with an inspiring verse or relevant quote from an author\/speaker\/pastor.<\/td><td>Start the week off with the bottom line or main idea their child learned the day before.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tuesday<\/td><td>Ask a question to get some feedback from your leaders about Sunday.<\/td><td>Link to a helpful blog or resource designed with your parent in mind.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wednesday<\/td><td>Link to a helpful blog or resource designed with your leader in mind.<\/td><td>Share an inspiring verse or encouraging quote from one of your favorite parenting experts.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thursday<\/td><td>Sunday\u2019s coming! Offer a coaching tip or important announcement.<\/td><td>Share one action step a parent might take to engage their child\u2019s faith this week.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Friday<\/td><td>Fun Friday! Consider posting a relevant, funny .gif, meme or video your volunteers will appreciate.<\/td><td>Fun Friday!

Build a support team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself, <strong><em>\u201cWho can help?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling the pressure at this point, our best piece of advice is to find a volunteer to schedule and manage all of your social media for you! Maybe it\u2019s a college student at your church who stayed local. Perhaps it&#8217;s a tech-savvy stay-at-home dad who can\u2019t serve on Sunday mornings or a responsible high school student. Whoever it is, give them access to your social media accounts and scheduling tools. Let them spend a couple hours a week pushing out all of your content for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also consider inviting key parents to be your social media \u201cstreet team\u201d to help you drive engagement. Ask them to comment regularly on certain posts, ask questions, post photos and lead conversations. The more traffic and engagement there is in your group or on your page, the more likely your content will be noticed by others in those same circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-social-media-to-share-your-church-s-voice\">Use Social Media to Share Your Church&#8217;s Voice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what we know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re a children\u2019s ministry leader, which means you probably wear many hats. Team builder, creative storyteller, professional organizer, online shopper, and Goldfish distributor to name a few. But perhaps the most important role you play is to be a messenger of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your voice matters and the unique message your church has to share matters. Whether that message is specifically for kids, parents, or small group leaders (we hope it\u2019s to all three!), having an intentional and effective strategy to meet them in digital spaces is no longer an option especially if you want your voice to rise above the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need an extra hand?
