Listen Later

Do you want to start a blog? Do you have something to say? Blogging offers a great outlet for ministers who want to share their ministry with the world or communicate directly with their church members outside of regular worship services or church meetings. No matter why you want to write on the Internet, we’ll share what we’ve learned after decades of combined blogging experience between our four co-hosts in this week’s episode of the Theotek Podcast. Watch it below or listen using the player at the bottom of this post.

In this week’s episode we mentioned a few tools. Here’s the list of places to put your blog online:

  • WordPress
  • Squarespace
  • Medium
  • Tumbler
  • Facebook
  • Some of the tools we’ve used to post to our blogs include:

    • Mars Edit for Mac
    • Windows Live Writer – now defunct but an open source version called Open Live Writer now exists for Windows.
    • WordPress app on iOS and Android
    • Your browser
    • The following tips will help you to stay successful as a blogger.

      Be Specific in Subject and Stay With It

      Even if that topic is you and your ministry, stay with it. If you choose to blog about Bible verses you’re studying and build an audience of people who want to read your posts about Bible passages, then throwing in a post about your favorite football team or politics might turn people off.

      Some bloggers start making it clear that they will post about all sorts of topics. Then the subject is their opinions. If that’s what you want, great! Make it clear from the start.
