Social network has been a proven huge success for many businesses. Dell, for instance was able to generate 6.2 million in revenue by using social networking. When company has many followers by you have a captive market and pool of customers to sell to. Many churches and those in ministry will turn to the more popular social networks to reach out to a larger audience and increase the number of people they can spread the word to.
Churches will have gospel concerts, cook outs in the park to reach out and increase their ranks. Social networking or increasing your followers on twitter is quite useful in spreading the word about social events and what is going on within your congregation. Many of the younger and older member alike are social network about the good and the bad in local churches.
Pastors and ministers can take that opportunity to teach the pros and cons of social networking. Electronic gossip is as harmful as gossiping the old fashioned way. Businesses use social networking to address customer service issues and keep in touch with what customers are saying about products and services. Pastors and ministers, would you be interested in knowing what your members are saying about the morning service? Maybe you trust that your members or followers are pleased with whats going on, you would be surprised to see for yourself whats being said, I was.
