Three Christian Marketing Steps For Online Promotion And Christian Home Business
These three Christian marketing steps can be a great starting point whether you are looking to promote your ministry online or trying to earn extra money with your Christian home business.
I recently attended a seminar with internet marketing great Stephen Pierce, and special guest, Power Team International founder, Bill Walsh. I received amazing wisdom from these men who are at the top of their fields in internet marketing and network marketing businesses.
I took lots of notes and found these three business keys you can use in your Christian marketing steps or Christian home based business plan.
You can look at them as Christian marketing steps or Christian home business blocks.
If you are ready to make a difference in your marketing plan online, whether it's for Christian promotion of your ministry or simply to find ways to earn extra money online, I believe these three points will prove beneficial to you!
A-C-T Three Ministry Marketing Steps
The three steps spell ACT:
A: A stands for assess. This means assess where you are now in your ministry marketing or work from home business. Are you in the beginning and wondering where to go? Or are you in the middle with frustration and aggravation because you see no results, no traffic, no resources gained?
Just acknowledge where you are and go on from there. Don't condemn or judge, just use this as your starting point.
C Choose to act. Choose to begin to make good choices on what to feed your mind. Choose positive images and words. Make a choice that you are going to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and you are going to walk out that faith with work!
Choose wisely with the coaches and mentors who can play a role in your ministry or business plan. Commit to not just learning but applying what you learn.
Commit and recommit every day to maintaining your relationship with God. Yes, it is a pivotal role in your ministry and business! God can download information, wisdom and strategy in your time with Him in the Word, like no other person.
Choose personal development as a priority. That might mean attending a seminar, from Dani Johnson to Kenneth Copeland to Stephen Pierce. God will reveal the mentors and teachers to you. You simply have to choose to trust Him for the provision, direction and simply GO...choose to ACT...WORK!
T Thankful: Be thankful. Find joy in your journey today. Don't let your longing for something in the future slay your appetite for living today! Don't allow your present circumstances determine your future.
God will prepare you for your destiny. Don't freak out during the preparation. The process is the preparation for your destiny!
Think about it. Would a father give his 11 year old son keys to his NASCAR style race car? I think not.
If he was grooming his son for a racing career, I believe he'd start with the small racing style cars and work his son up from stage to stage to get to that NASCAR car.
Imagine the thrill of that Father when he sees his son (or daughter) be patience, work and learn how to be the best race car driver each stage of that destiny. (I wonder if this is how the late Dale Earnhardt felt about his son?)
Finally, remember that the One Who has given you the vision will provide the provision. Where God calls, He enables.
Some final thoughts:
"Our words are containers. They contain our destiny." - Jesse Duplantis
"No one's opinion is as important as your destiny." - Stephen Pierce
God calls us not to be mountain climbers, but mountain dissolvers!" - Jesse Duplantis

Ministry Marketing Videos: Tips For Christian Promotion And Marketing
Recently I produced some ministry marketing videos to answer questions about ministry marketing online, Christian promotion, and how to earn money on the internet.These are short videos that attempt to answer basic questions I get asked and e-mailed from various people involved in wanting to market their ministry for promotion, and from earnest believers desiring to find ways to earn extra money.
The bottom line here is helping you harness the power of the internet so you can be free to serve Him. It's not about spamming an opportunity or making up filler material.
The premise of this lies in the following interview I had with ministry marketing expert Pam Perry. You can listen to this interview here!
The beginning of this ministry marketing plan online starts with the power of what you say!
I begin this video series with a short video on why you need to market online. You can view that video here.
From there I share the heart of these ministry marketing videos centering on the acronym SPEAK.
In basic form here it is:
S S stands for specific market. A basic marketing principle where you need to identify your target market or your niche you are trying to reach.
P P stands for precise (and proven!) marketing strategies. The key to ministry marketing, Christian promotion, and finding how to earn money on the internet lies in finding and implementing these precise marketing strategies.
E E stands for excellence. Let everything you do as you work and serve others be with a spirit of excellence!
A A stands for action! You must move and work toward your vision. Many of the ministry marketing videos will tell you what action to need to take to have a successful marketing plan online! This is putting your faith to work!!
K K stands for kneel. You must humble yourself before the Lord and maintain your relationship with Him. This is a vital key for life!
SPEAK - The Glue That Holds It All Together!
And yes, this spells
SPEAK
. The glue that holds this plan together is you speaking words of life over your vision, your ministry, your family, your ministry. As it says
Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
Here is a video recapping this. The ministry marketing videos will go in detail on this plan in addition to other basic marketing tips.
What is the number one mistake ministry marketing mistake people make in their marketing plan online?
Real easy answer. They try to sell!
They operate out of fear ( "I have to pay that bill…I need to make money for my ministry") and that results in trying to push their services and products on people.
It happens not just ministry marketing mistake, but also business marketing mistake on the internet.
Check out the majority of posts on twitter.
What do you see?
Yep. SPAM city.
But you don't have to make that mistake.

Learn a lesson from my mentor to avoid this ministry marketing mistake.
As you might know, friend,Stephen Pierce started out in the futures and commodities niche ten years ago.
He gave away free daily trades five days a week for a year.He shared more details than most paid advisory services.
He didn't make any money that first year. He focused on providing value, even though he was homeless for part of this time and was in desperate need of money.
He knew he was onto something when he took a vacation and phones started ringing. People were upset because they were dependent on his free daily trades.
Most marketers don't start out the way Stephen did. And he has amplified to me this error. I see it everywhere. I cringe if I see someone make this ministry marketing mistake on Facebook or Twitter.
The #1 mistake most marketers make when starting out is to sell something right away.
They create a website and begin selling their own product or an affiliate product, or ministry book, etc They go on twitter other other social media sites and push and push the product.
This seems like such a logical thing to do but it misses a very important step.... creating value.
3 Steps To Create Value
So here are 5 steps you can take to create value so you can create wealth....a clear path to avoid a ministry marketing mistake in your market plan:
1.) Instead of asking yourself "what should I sell?" ask yourself, "Am I truly providing value?"
One way to determine if you're providing value is to ask yourself if what you have would be missed if it was made unavailable for a time.
2.) Share your value through social influence. Condition your market in such a way that people will automatically click when you put something out. Focus on contributing to your market. Focus on serving.
3.) Showcase your ability by building social capital. Social capital can only be earned by sharing and by showing. You can't buy it. Share and show....don't sell and spam.
4.) Find the GAP in your market. GAP = Goals, Activities,Priorities. When you know the GAP, things like writing copy, producing a ministry video, writing a book, creating a marketing plan..... and delivering value become easy.
5.) Value increases something people in your market want more of or decreases something they want less of. Sometimes these are simultaneous.
Take a sheet of paper. On the right side write the word "increase." On the left side write the word "decrease." Look at how your product or service or ministry increases what your market wants and decreases what they don't want.
When you create value in this way you won't be able to stop the resources from coming in. When you serve with integrity and in a spirit of excellence, more opportunities will come your way!
