Step 3: Being A Social Media Magnet
Understanding how to be a social media magnet is step three of the Six Market Plan Steps For Your Ministry or Business.
Social media is a collection of internet sites that have a social function that allows people to connect, communicate and construct new friendships and relationships.
You can discover the Four Social Media Magnet Platforms to give your marketing plan a boost in exposure and connections with potential clients.
- Social Networking: This consists of sites such as Facebook, Plaxo, Bebo, and Xianz, the Christian version of MySpace.
- Video and Audio Sites: YouTube leads the way in this platform with others such as, Tangle, formerly GodTube, Revver, and Metacalf. On the audio side, you can check out Podcast Alley among many others.
- Blogging: WordPress.org is the leader in this catagory. The easiest to get started with is Blogger. Others include Typepad, WordPress.com, and Twitter. Yes, Twitter is considered a micro-blogging site.
- Social Bookmarking: This is a powerful key to incorporating social media with top sites including, Digg, Reddit, Mixx, StumbleUpon, and Propeller, among so many more.
The Power of Being A Social Media Magnet
No doubt, more and more studies are taken to truly understand just how the social media sites can impact business.
I’ve enjoyed this most recent report from Michael Stelzner, Social Media Marketing Marketing Industry Report.
Lots of valuable information is available for you to truly understand social media in case you think all this "Twitter and Facebook" stuff is a waste of time.

One figure caught my eye. This report reveals that 64% of marketers are spending five or more hours using social media magnet sites such as, Twitter.
Stelzner says, "Social Media Marketing is an engagement with online communities to generate exposure, opportunity, and sales….And the real shocker is that experienced folks are investing more than 20 hours each week with social media."
It goes without saying that you don’t use these social sites to spam your ministry or opportunity. You share. You serve. You connect. You minister.Just the other day my daughter took some of my marketing advice when she off the cuff told me…"Mom, I thanked Billy Rae Cyrus for all his Bible verses in his tweets."
That made me proud.
The other night I watched the powerful Gospel singing duo of Bebe and Cece Winans. They got to talking about Twitter. Cece was teasing her brother about it and then said she saw the power of using it to encourage someone, to offer hope and healing.
Yes, you can do that with only 140 characters!
In the past few months I have also gained incredible market plan strategies from my mentors, Alicia and Stephen Pierce. Stephen is a Christian and is known as the The World’s #1 Wealth Advocate.
