InScribe Christian Writer's Fellowship

The links below came from InScribe Christian Writer's Fellowship found at

http://www.inscribe.org/09-StayMotivated-Get%20Connected.htm

You may like to visit the site and perhaps even join.

Unless someone advertises themselves as a mentor, finding one involves developing a relationship. Get to know other writers.

Join aith either a general membership or one that fits your preferred genre.

Also try a small group setting. (InScribe has several.) If you are looking for a mentor, this might be the best place to find one. If you want to mentor someone else, a group gives opportunity for you to get to know each other.

Blogs and chat rooms do not offer a face-to-face relationship, but you might meet someone through these online resources that will be interested in a mentoring relationship. InScribe has online critique groups reporting success as they mentor one another.

To find someone who offers mentoring for a fee, check out the links below to individual writer's sites.

Also, you can be mentored by keeping up with the latest information about the craft and the industry. Check out the websites for writers listed on this page.

Blogs: getting started

To Think About

Some countries do not allow feeds from anything with the word "blog" in them, so consider this if you want your blog to go everywhere in the world.

"I fail to see how most writers actually enhance their careers by blogging. Blogs by experts about current events make more sense, because they're commentary by people who have proven expertise in writing about those topics. Most blogs, however, are mental and emotional incontinence. People who claim to be writers should spend more time pitching stories and proposals than venting their thoughts. I would blog only in conjunction with having a book on the market." —Anonymous (From July 2007 Writers Digest newsletter)

Hit counters to put on your blog

Increase traffic to your blog

  • Visiting the blogs of others. Leave your blog URL. If you leave a good comment, the blog owner and others who comment are likely to drop over to visit you. If they like what they see, they may keep on returning.

Ads on your blog?

  • BlogAds - Select ads here, or reverse the process and put your ad on influential blogs. Only ads that you approve.
  • BloggingAds - uses Paypal
  • Blogsvertise - pays in Paypal per task/blog entry, for writing / talking about / mentioning their website in your blog
  • Crispads - bloggers target the ads because you best know your content.
  • Google ads - Pick the style of ads you want and paste the code into your blog template. Google's Adsense crawls the web and chooses content-appropriate ads for your blog. If you are writing about butterflies or yaks, the ads posted will suit your topic. You are credited on a per-hit basis and paid after you've reached the $100 level in your account.
  • PayPerPost - another place to find ads for your blog.
  • Problogger - lots of information about earning money from a blog.

Other Tips

  • Blogspot and others allow you to postdate an entry. After you write your post, click on "post options" beside the box to put in tags. Enter the date and time you want it to appear in the blog. For example, enter 10/21/08 || 6:00 P.M. which will publish it on October 21, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. Then click on 'Publish' and you will see an orange message on the 'edit' screen saying that your post is scheduled and will be published on the date and at the time you have selected. However, DO NOT SAVE YOUR POST AS A DRAFT because it will just stay there. Also pay attention to your dates. If you write them 10/21/08, it may reverse them to 21/10/98.

Leveraging Technology for Ministry


Leveraging Technology for Ministry

I recently came across some interesting statistics with regard to the Church and the use of the internet. The resource stated that in 1998, 17 percent of churches reported having web sites but today, that number is 44 percent. Another interesting data point is that seventy-four percent of all church attenders nationwide are in churches with a web site. This tells me that while only 44 percent of the churches have web sites (which I still find surprising), those churches with web sites are attended by 3 out of every 4 persons attending church anywhere.

At my church (AliveChurch.com), the leadership has consistently tried to leverage the power of the internet and they're still learning new ways to reach people for Christ. They've been through some major transitions over the past 12 months with some incredible results.

One area where they've matured by leaps and bounds is in the use of video on the web. A year ago while still meeting in a local high school, we were diligent to video tape each teaching service with a member's camcorder then post that video onto our web site using the services of Google Video. Almost every new visitor to our church checked us out online before they came in person and one of the more popular areas on our site was our sermons area.

In February of '08 we moved into our new building and soon decided to take the video to the next level. The leadership embraces the one church/multiple sites philosophy, so they launched another campus on the other side of town and turned to the internet to broadcast the teaching from the main campus to this satellite campus meeting in an elementary school. Since they relied on the internet broadcast to the satellite campus, the leadership decided to also offer the services live on the internet to anyone interested in attending. We started by simply embedding the video stream onto one of our web site pages.

One thing led to another and the church leadership decided that they would make the internet site into a full-blown web campus. The church hired a full-time "web pastor" and focused on making the live web service a more interactive, rewarding experience for those attending online.

The church employed the recently developed services of StreamingChurch.tv to create an interactive online experience. StreamingChurch.tv provided AliveChurch.com with several tools such as push technology to update the site dynamically during the service, member and guest chat, integrated sermon notes and most recently a dynamic map to show where guests are attending from. AliveChurch.com also invested in an improved high speed dedicated internet connection, a high quality video camera, a video switch, a separate mixer board for the internet sound and the talents of several volunteers.

The results have been amazing! The online experience has dramatically improved while the total church attendance has more than quadrupled over the past 10 months. While moving into the new building was a major boost to the church's growth, I feel that the leadership's attempts to embrace and leverage technology has also helped dramatically.


Micro-Blogging has Arrived

We've recently incorporated micro-blogging into your ministry web site. What's "micro-blogging"? Well it's just like blogging, only quicker and shorter. It allows your friends and ministry partners to keep up with your daily activities. Micro-blogs provide short commentaries on a person-to-person level.

Now when you visit your ministry site, the system will recognize you and prompt you for "what are you doing now?". As your members reply, your blogs and updates area will automatically be updated. It's only been in place for a day and it's dramatically increasing the activity at our church site. As the administrator, you have the option of turning the feature off if you prefer. Just go to your admin control panel and select the "Enable/Disable Features" link to turn off micro-blogging on your site. If you aren't logged in as a member on your ministry site, the tool isn't visible.


Broadcast Your Services Live over the Internet

This new system allows you to conduct your church services live over the internet. You can get more information at StreamingChurch.tv. The system is set up with an integrated chat room, an active dynamic area on the page that automatically updates when the administrator pushes a button, and a choice of streaming video players.

The system is really cool as it lets you do things during the service like "pass the plate" to allow for online donations, you can allow guests to learn more about a worship song or even buy it online while it's playing, you can also set up the sermon notes for immediate download plus lots more. It's all built into your existing MyFlock ministry site. You'll just need to contact us to set up the streaming server account.

This new service is found under "streaming services" on your admin control panel and will be free for a limited time. Contact us at info@StreamingChurch.tv to begin broadcasting your services live.


Native Domains We've made some changes that will allow your domain name to remain in the browser address bar when anyone visits your site. In the past there were some drawbacks with member logins that prevented us from setting up your domain to remain in the address bar of your site. Our technical folks have upgraded the system to now be able to handle domain names natively without compromising the member login information. So now when you type "AliveChurch.com" in the address bar, it will take you to the AliveChurch.com site without redirecting the URL. We're in the process of updating each domain name starting with the beginning of the alphabet. We've got hundreds of domains and we've made it through the A's and B's so far. We hope finish updating all the domain records within a few weeks, although if you can't wait, send an email to info@myflock.com and we'll update yours right away.

Multi-media Cover Flow Vault We've completely remodeled both the admin portion where you upload your sermons and media, as well as the area where guests choose and download notes, videos and audio messages. We've implemented a new "cover flow" tool for selecting and downloading your media. Every media item now comes with an automated cover flow artwork and/or you can upload your own custom artwork for each media item.

Streaming Services With some cameras, computer and a streaming server provider, you can now stream your services live over the internet. Check it out, there's lots of tools to create a great environment for streaming your video services live on the internet. We've also added a new automated page to your site manager called "Streaming Services" that will allow visitors to participate in your service online.

Fwd: Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] WYSIWYG Article Submission Editor Tips

EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing
and
Marketing.

Generally, most people will write their article outside of
EzineArticles.com
and then copy and paste the article content into the submission
interface.

The EzineArticles.com What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG)Editor can
assist you in your article production.

Article Content Creation in MS Word:

 * Tip: If you primarily create your article content
  in MS Word, turn the editor on and click the
  "Paste from Word" symbol on the tool bar.  Please
  remember to disable MS Word Smart-tags before you
  copy and paste as they are not compatible with the
  WYSIWYG editor. Now you can use the tool bar to add
  font attributes and more.

Article Content Creation in a True Text Editor:

 * Tip: If you primarily create your article content
  in a true text editor, such as Edit Plus, Ultra
  Edit, Notetab or Notepad, turn the editor on and
  click the "Paste as Plain Text" symbol on the tool
  bar.  Now, you can simply cut and paste your article
  content and use the editor tools to add font
  attributes and more.

Some authors prefer to use the EzineArticles.com "Submit an Article"
submission interface and type in their article content:

WYSIWYG Editor On:

 * Tip: By turning on the WYSIWYG Editor, your article
  content will be displayed exactly how you typed it.
  You can use the tool bar to create font attributes,
  bulleted or numbered lists, spell-check and more.

WYSIWYG Editor Off:

 * Tip: By turning off the WYSIWYG Editor, you will
  need to use only the allowable HTML tags to type in
  your content.  You can see how your article will be
  displayed, by using the "Preview Article" feature
  near the bottom of the submission interface page.

Here are some tips to help you get your article approved more quickly:

 * Do not send in HTML image tags, JavaScript or
  Tables in the body of your article and please make
  sure the allowed HTML tags are formatted correctly.

Your word count is displayed and your article submission is auto-saved
as a
draft every 2 minutes.

The next edition of the EzineArticles Training Series: An Introduction
to
Article Writing and Marketing will give the top tips for beating

block.

Fwd: Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Create Your Content and Beat Writers Block: Top 7 Tips

EzineArticles.com Training Series: An Introduction to Article Writing
and
Marketing.

Here are some helpful tips to help you source content for new
articles:

1. Old Ezine Articles:  This includes your archives
  for articles that you have sent your ezine from
  the past 10+ years.  If you've created multiple
  articles for each email newsletter issue, we
  recommend that you break your old ezine articles
  into single article chunks rather than multi-
  topic articles. If you have large ezine
  articles from your email newsletter archive,
  consider breaking them down into 250-300 word
  chunks rather than 1,000-3,000 word articles.

2. Old Original Forum Posts:  If you've been on the
  internet for some time, there is a good chance
  you belong to a few forums that you might call
  yourself a "resident expert" on.  All of your
  old forum posts that are greater than 250 words
  in length will make great new articles that you
  can put into distribution to create more traffic
  and sales for your business, and enhance your
  credibility.

3. Old Blog Posts:  The whole point of blogging,
  besides posting frequently, is that you can
  easily syndicate your blog for others to read
  via the RSS reader of their choice.  Because of
  the syndication orientation of blogging, your
  blog posts that read greater than 250 words make
  great articles that you can slap on a longer
  title, add a resource box that pitches your blog
  website and put a fast 250+ articles into
  immediate distribution.

4. Out of Date Books:  Are you the author of a book
  no longer in print? If you own the copyrights to
  it, this is an excellent place to create
  hundreds of quality articles with just a short
  period of editing.

5. Current e-Books:  Take 10%-20% of your hottest
  selling ebooks and flip into articles designed
  to entice your reader into wanting the complete
  ebook.  You still need to deliver real content
  value here and not get skimpy or tease them with
  "what they could learn if they bought your
  ebook."  Keep the articles short, with
  bulleted or small numbered lists.

6. Top 10 or Top 7 Articles:  Everyone likes
  content they can read very fast.  Why not create
  top 10 lists (or any number of "Top" things)
  related to your niche area of expertise.  To
  begin, just create a headline such as "Top 7
  Leaders Strategies For Newbie Managers" and
  then number the list from 1-7. Come up with a
  sub-headline for each tip and then do (1)
  paragraph describing the tip. You'll find these
  are easy to produce and crank out 5-10 of them
  per day.

7. Keyword Research: Google Suggest
  (http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&complete=1)
  or any keyword research tool can discover topics
  that people are currently searching for that are
  related to your expertise. Use this as a
  springboard to launch another 25 articles that
  are 250-450 words, each related to answering or
  providing short tips on how to solve or get more
  out of the keywords they searched for.

  Example: "Yoga" when entered into Google Suggest
  tells me that I should write articles about
  "Yoga Journals or Journaling" and about proper
  form or different types of "Yoga Poses."

Article
Publishers Looking For"?

Fwd: Fwd: [EzineArticles Training] Article Publishers: What Are They Looking For?

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Training Series:

An Introduction to Article Writing and Marketing.

Here are the top 5 factors ezine publishers look for when deciding
which
articles to publish:

1. Does the article have zero self-serving links in the article body?

  Loading up the body of your article with affiliate
  links or other obvious self-serving links is a
  liability and will keep your article from ever
  seeing top results.

2. Does the article have no more than 2 self-serving links in the
resource
box?

  Your resource box at the bottom of your article
  should be short and to the point.  It should
  also be less than 10% of the total word count of
  your article.  Ezine publishers don't mind
  giving you name credit and a link for sharing
  your article with them, but they don't want to
  look like a fool by being required to reprint
  a short novel about all of your websites and
  accomplishments.

3. Is the article within 250-700 words?

  Readers want instant gratification from your
  quality, original content. No one has the time
  to really go deep when it comes to reading email
  newsletters.  It's proven that shorter articles
  achieve a much higher distribution rate than
  longer ones.

4. Does the article deliver quality, original content with numbered
lists,
bullet points or easy to glean information their audience would deem
valuable?

  Key Point:  Make sure your articles are 100%
  original content.  Anything less is considered
  an insult.

5. Is the article's author well recognized or respected within their
market
niche?

  Ezine publishers have an ego just like you. They
  want to use articles in their email newsletters
  that make them look good.  The more you use your
  articles to help yourself gain credibility for
  your unique expertise within your niche, the
  greater the chances you'll find your articles
  getting picked up by your ezine publishing
  peers.

The next edition of the EzineArticles Training Series: An Introduction
to
Article Writing and Marketing will offer tips to increase your article
production in less time by writing article sets.
