most i use analytics like what the the most i use analytics for are like what videos of mine are for are like what videos of mine are for are like what videos of mine are doing well doing well doing well and how can i replicate that again and and how can i replicate that again and and how can i replicate that again and again and again again and again again and again if that makes sense yeah i can tell you if that makes sense yeah i can tell you if that makes sense yeah i can tell you i can tell you straight up one of the i can tell you straight up one of the i can tell you straight up one of the biggest problems that that churches are biggest problems that that churches are biggest problems that that churches are going to have doing this is going to have doing this is going to have doing this is trying to get pastors to try to say in trying to get pastors to try to say in trying to get pastors to try to say in 30 seconds what they would normally say 30 seconds what they would normally

a content creator to some degree in different spaces degree in different spaces degree in different spaces the more you do it the more used to the more you do it the more used to the more you do it the more used to figuring out how to keep content concise

figuring out how to keep content concise figuring out how to keep content concise and condensed and again i i love your and condensed and again i i love your and condensed and again i i love your formula the hook the content the call to formula the hook the content the call to formula the hook the content the call to action you know you've got three or four action you know you've got three or four action you know you've got three or four seconds for your hook you've got 15 to seconds for your hook you've got 15 to seconds for your hook you've got 15 to 20 seconds for your content and you've 20 seconds for your content and you've 20 seconds for your content and you've got three or four seconds for a call to got three or four seconds for a call to got three or four seconds for a call to action and that's if you're gonna if action and that's if you're gonna if action and that's if you're gonna if you're gonna script it that's pretty you're gonna script it that's pretty you're gonna script it that's pretty much what you gotta stick to i'm much what you gotta stick to i'm much what you gotta stick to i'm assuming you're probably not scripting assuming you're probably not scripting assuming you're probably not scripting your prayers you just pray right so it's your prayers you just pray right so it's your prayers you just pray right so it's a little bit easier but you got to watch a little bit easier but you got to watch a little bit easier but you got to watch a clock a clock a clock yeah definitely and i would say to any yeah definitely and i would say to any yeah definitely and i would say to any like church who's watching this and like church who's watching this and like church who's watching this and saying like i don't think i can make saying like i don't think i can make saying like i don't think i can make content content content in a short period of time in a short period of time in a short period of time i would first i would first i would first just like follow that process of can you just like follow that process of can you just like follow that process of can you have someone on your team find those 30 have someone on your team find those 30 have someone on your team find those 30 second clips that are you know already second clips that are you know already second clips that are you know already happening that the pastor is already happening that the pastor is already happening that the pastor is already doing and repurpose those as tick tock doing and repurpose those as tick tock doing and repurpose those as tick tock all like the churches who do really well all like the churches who do really well all like the churches who do really well they are doing that right now elevation they are doing that right now elevation they are doing that right now elevation church church church um you know transformation church those um you know transformation church those um you know transformation church those are two of like the big leaders on tick are two of like the big leaders on tick are two of like the big leaders on tick tock right now they're taking content tock right now they're taking content tock right now they're taking content that's already being made in a two hour that's already being made in a two hour that's already being made in a two hour or hour sermon and finding really good or hour sermon and finding really good or hour sermon and finding really good nuggets that they can storytell around nuggets that they can storytell around nuggets that they can storytell around through you know text on screen captions through you know text on screen captions through you know text on screen captions interesting um you know hashtags and interesting um you know hashtags and interesting um you know hashtags and stuff like that so that can be content stuff like that so that can be content stuff like that so that can be content that could be you could use a sermon for that could be you could use a sermon for that could be you could use a sermon for seven different posts and just break seven different posts and just break seven different posts and just break down the big pieces and then if i was if down the big pieces and then if i was if down the big pieces and then if i was if again if i was in the marketing again if i was in the marketing again if i was in the marketing department i would sit down with the the department i would sit down with the the department i would sit down with the the pastor and say hey let's just do a pastor and say hey let's just do a pastor and say hey let's just do a prayer you know what i mean like can we prayer you know what i mean like can we prayer you know what i mean like can we do one or two prayers every single month

you can search churches model well you can search churches model successes it's already out there and successes it's already out there and successes it's already out there and then have your team kind of replicate then have your team kind of replicate then have your team kind of replicate that for how you guys would do that yeah that for how you guys would do that yeah that for how you guys would do that yeah so so you're you just said what i was so so you're you just said what i was so so you're you just said what i was going to ask and that is going to ask and that is going to ask and that is go go go study right and go figure out what other study right and go figure out what other study right and go figure out what other churches are doing churches are doing churches are doing do you ever uh repurpose do you ever uh repurpose do you ever uh repurpose prayers that you've done in the past and prayers that you've done in the past and prayers that you've done in the past and just re-throw them out there and like just re-throw them out there and like just re-throw them out there and like maybe re-tag them or re-title them yeah maybe re-tag them or re-title them yeah maybe re-tag them or re-title them yeah i'll do that as well too and i do it i'll do that as well too and i do it i'll do that as well too and i do it because sometimes those actually do because sometimes those actually do because sometimes those actually do better so i'll take a prayer that i've better so i'll take a prayer that i've better so i'll take a prayer that i've already done before already done before already done before i'll change the music on it i'll change the music on it i'll change the music on it music is a big thing on tick tock as music is a big thing on tick tock as music is a big thing on tick tock as well too so like you can add your own well too so like you can add your own well too so like you can add your own music to it if you already have that but music to it if you already have that but music to it if you already have that but you can also take advantage of music you can also take advantage of music you can also take advantage of music that's on tick tock and what i would do that's on tick tock and what i would do that's on tick tock and what i would do is i would go look at other churches who is i would go look at other churches who is i would go look at other churches who are posting seeing what type of music are posting seeing what type of music are posting seeing what type of music they're using you can save that music to they're using you can save that music to they're using you can save that music to like your music dashboard so when you like your music dashboard so when you like your music dashboard so when you add that in when you're making a post add that in when you're making a post add that in when you're making a post it's already there so you don't have to it's already there so you don't have to it's already there so you don't have to go find it um but i would add music and go find it um but i would add music and go find it um but i would add music and i add music to every single but every i add music to every single but every i add music to every single but every single one of my um posts but it's single one of my um posts but it's single one of my um posts but it's always like calming always like calming always like calming it's nothing that's like

it's nothing that's like it's nothing that's like like like like it's not rap music it's not lyrical it's not rap music it's not lyrical it's not rap music it's not lyrical music it's more instrumental music that music it's more instrumental music that music it's more instrumental music that just adds another element to get someone just adds another element to get someone just adds another element to get someone into that like emotion or feeling when into that like emotion or feeling when into that like emotion or feeling when they're watching the video but i've they're watching the video but i've they're watching the video but i've repurposed videos all the time and it's repurposed videos all the time and it's repurposed videos all the time and it's interesting i i would make a video and interesting i i would make a video and interesting i i would make a video and then maybe two months later i would then maybe two months later i would then maybe two months later i would repurpose it would get double the views repurpose it would get double the views repurpose it would get double the views and then i've even repurposed the video and then i've even repurposed the video and then i've even repurposed the video more than once and it did even better so more than once and it did even better so more than once and it did even better so that's another strategy too like you can that's another strategy too like you can that's another strategy too like you can repurpose videos you can use different repurpose videos you can use different repurpose videos you can use different hashtags you can use different captions hashtags you can use different captions hashtags you can use different captions you can use different headlines and you can use different headlines and you can use different headlines and different music as well too so i would different music as well too so i would different music as well too so i would do that because it just gives you more do that because it just gives you more do that because it just gives you more um to be able to post with yeah what do um to be able to post with yeah what do um to be able to post with yeah what do you think a church i mean like this is you think a church i mean like this is you think a church i mean like this is kind of a random question but what do kind of a random question but what do kind of a random question but what do you think a church should do if they you think a church should do if they you think a church should do if they want to get started in tick-tock want to get started in tick-tock want to get started in tick-tock once a day or just strike or once a week once a day or just strike or once a week once a day or just strike or once a week or or or how often should they be posted to get how often should they be posted to get how often should they be posted to get going going going if i was a church i would at least do if i was a church i would at least do if i was a church i would at least do once a day but if you want to once a day but if you want to once a day but if you want to kind of kind of kind of increase that chance of getting more increase that chance of getting more increase that chance of getting more followers and having more success out followers and having more success out followers and having more success out post three times a day just because in post three times a day just because in post three times a day just because in the beginning like when you're starting the beginning like when you're starting the beginning like when you're starting you have such a good opportunity to you have such a good opportunity to you have such a good opportunity to reach reach reach um um um a vast audience and if you posted like a vast audience and if you posted like a vast audience and if you posted like one in the morning one in the afternoon one in the morning one in the afternoon one in the morning one in the afternoon one in the evening i think you would one in the evening i think you would one in the evening i think you would have more success if that's too have more success if that's too have more success if that's too difficult to do i would just start with difficult to do i would just start with difficult to do i would just start with one a day but if the content's good you one a day but if the content's good you one a day but if the content's good you have a better chance too and obviously have a better chance too and obviously have a better chance too and obviously having that video be seen having that video be seen having that video be seen by more people but if three is too much by more people but if three is too much by more people but if three is too much i would at least start with one and make i would at least start with one and make i would at least start with one and make sure you're posting once a day i mean sure you're posting once a day i mean sure you're posting once a day i mean you could even you could even you could even prepare in advance

prepare in advance prepare in advance 30 videos you know figure out like i 30 videos you know figure out like i 30 videos you know figure out like i would obviously come up with a strategy would obviously come up with a strategy would obviously come up with a strategy before doing this i'd think of like what before doing this i'd think of like what before doing this i'd think of like what kind of content can we make let's start kind of content can we make let's start kind of content can we make let's start like let's just start messing around like let's just start messing around like let's just start messing around with the app and you know getting with the app and you know getting with the app and you know getting familiar with it so we can get in a familiar with it so we can get in a familiar with it so we can get in a cadence where cadence where cadence where you can do this consistently and it's you can do this consistently and it's you can do this consistently and it's just a part of now your you know your just a part of now your you know your just a part of now your you know your social media marketing strategy social media marketing strategy social media marketing strategy yeah let me ask a question as it relates yeah let me ask a question as it relates yeah let me ask a question as it relates to posting to posting to posting can you schedule posts on tick tock or can you schedule posts on tick tock or can you schedule posts on tick tock or do you have to post live a lot of church do you have to post live a lot of church do you have to post live a lot of church communications professionals have gotten communications professionals have gotten communications professionals have gotten used to using things like hootsuite and used to using things like hootsuite and used to using things like hootsuite and buffer to schedule content for facebook buffer to schedule content for facebook buffer to schedule content for facebook for instagram um and of course now neta for instagram um and of course now neta for instagram um and of course now neta has you know a creator studio um can you has you know a creator studio um can you has you know a creator studio um can you schedule content on tiktok or do you schedule content on tiktok or do you schedule content on tiktok or do you let me ask this question um no go ahead let me ask this question um no go ahead let me ask this question um no go ahead and answer that question then i have a and answer that question then i have a and answer that question then i have a follow-up question so dude can can we follow-up question so dude can can we follow-up question so dude can can we schedule it if i'm having to do this schedule it if i'm having to do this schedule it if i'm having to do this three times a day do i literally have to three times a day do i literally have to three times a day do i literally have to log into tik-tok three times a day and log into tik-tok three times a day and log into tik-tok three times a day and do this how does that work do this how does that work do this how does that work yeah so i believe with some of the yeah so i believe with some of the yeah so i believe with some of the scheduling apps tick tock does have that scheduling apps tick tock does have that scheduling apps tick tock does have that capability now if it doesn't capability now if it doesn't capability now if it doesn't you can like create drafts same thing you can like create drafts same thing you can like create drafts same thing you can do an instagram with like reels you can do an instagram with like reels you can do an instagram with like reels is you could go in there and you could is you could go in there and you could is you could go in there and you could set up all of your you know posts and set up all of your you know posts and set up all of your you know posts and then just have them in drafts so they're then just have them in drafts so they're then just have them in drafts so they're already ready to go so when you are already ready to go so when you are already ready to go so when you are ready to post you go on open the draft ready to post you go on open the draft ready to post you go on open the draft post it add whatever you want to add to post it add whatever you want to add to post it add whatever you want to add to it so it's already done so if i was it so it's already done so if i was it so it's already done so if i was manually doing this and i was and i had manually doing this and i was and i had manually doing this and i was and i had to post for let's say that was my job to post for let's say that was my job to post for let's say that was my job posting for the church i would posting for the church i would posting for the church i would do those like if i was posting in one
-
do those like if i was posting in one do those like if i was posting in one day i'd do them all like in the morning day i'd do them all like in the morning day i'd do them all like in the morning and have them all drafted so then i can and have them all drafted so then i can and have them all drafted so then i can go go back in there and just post it go go back in there and just post it go go back in there and just post it when the time is to post but i believe when the time is to post but i believe when the time is to post but i believe the tools now do give you the ability to the tools now do give you the ability to the tools now do give you the ability to schedule it just like instagram schedule it just like instagram schedule it just like instagram you create all your content on your you create all your content on your you create all your content on your phone you said right um for for say a phone you said right um for for say a phone you said right um for for say a church that's going to use snippets from church that's going to use snippets from church that's going to use snippets from sermons they're obviously going to take sermons they're obviously going to take sermons they're obviously going to take those sermon snippets those sermon snippets those sermon snippets and in all likelihood edit them and in all likelihood edit them and in all likelihood edit them on a desktop platform like you know on a desktop platform like you know on a desktop platform like you know adobe premiere or right uh you know adobe premiere or right uh you know adobe premiere or right uh you know final cut or something like that is it final cut or something like that is it final cut or something like that is it complicated to get those snippets from a complicated to get those snippets from a complicated to get those snippets from a desktop platform and to your phone and desktop platform and to your phone and desktop platform and to your phone and you know you know you know into tick tock how how would you go into tick tock how how would you go into tick tock how how would you go about doing that getting really about doing that getting really about doing that getting really technical here i would say it's not technical here i would say it's not technical here i would say it's not because because because i have like some youtube videos that are i have like some youtube videos that are i have like some youtube videos that are filmed on a camera and then are edited filmed on a camera and then are edited filmed on a camera and then are edited in you know classic editing software in you know classic editing software in you know classic editing software that's then you know repurposed on to that's then you know repurposed on to that's then you know repurposed on to youtube so youtube so youtube so i've i've had someone edit a video of i've i've had someone edit a video of i've i've had someone edit a video of mine just to see and it was pretty easy mine just to see and it was pretty easy mine just to see and it was pretty easy for them to do as well too so i don't for them to do as well too so i don't for them to do as well too so i don't think they i don't think the person think they i don't think the person think they i don't think the person who's actually editing the video would who's actually editing the video would who's actually editing the video would have any trouble getting that video cut have any trouble getting that video cut have any trouble getting that video cut edited and given in a format that can be edited and given in a format that can be edited and given in a format that can be posted on a phone posted on a phone posted on a phone okay okay okay well i tell you what we we're running well i tell you what we we're running well i tell you what we we're running out of time here um this has been out of time here um this has been out of time here um this has been really insightful you know first of all really insightful you know first of all really insightful you know first of all thank you for your ministry thank you thank you for your ministry thank you thank you for your ministry thank you for praying for people and uh for praying for people and uh for praying for people and uh using this platform to to share light
