BE CONSISTENT
- Don’t start anything you can’t do consistently
- Never allow information to be out of date
- Instead of multiple pages, filter all ministries through one main page
SHARE MORE THAN YOU BROADCAST
- 80% of posts should be personal or life-giving to the viewers
- Only 20% should be a “commercialâ€
BE RESPONSIVE
- Always respond to questions and comments in a timely manner
- Retweet, comment, and “Like†other people’s posts
- Don’t retweet personal compliments — “thank you†is enough
