Six Market Plan Steps To Promote Your Christian Music Or Ministry
Are you looking for market plan steps to promote your Christian music or ministry online?I get e-mails and phone calls often now of sincere Christians looking to go forward in their God given destiny with their gifts and anointing. As that happens, my passion grows to help consult ministries and people how to harness the power of the internet for preaching, promotion and profits. A result of this has put me to work the past three years producing videos, a book, a Ministry Marketing And Kingdom Training Plan including simple to understand market plan steps.
So here are Six Steps To Your Christian Music, Ministry or Business Plan outlined below on this page. These market plan steps will also be explained more in detail in the corresponding videos that you can find here and in the book!) My heart is to be a vessel to assist you as you look to promote your Christian music, make money for ministry, or simply be financially free to serve God. Now is the time that God is arming His body to minister to so many hurting hearts! Now is the time to take advantage of the internet! As one of my Christian Marketing Coaches, Stephen Pierce, always says: "The internet does not require your permission, just your participation to make money...."
The Six Steps To Your Market Plan
So get a pen and paper and write down these six market plan steps. Get ready to watch some videos that will explain each step more in detail.The great thing about these steps is most of them only require your time and not as much from your wallet. Step One WHY? Why do you want to pursue an online marketing plan? Know and write out your purpose, your vision, your mission that explains the purpose of your pursuit. Your ministry marketing plan is only as powerful as your preparation. Know your reason why! Step 2 WHO? Who is your target audience? Who are you trying to connect with in your particular group in your ministry marketing plan? For example, a Southern Gospel singer will not pursue a contemporary Christian music audience. He'll focus on those who are familiar with the sounds of Southern Gospel Music. Narrow it down to a specific niche. 
Step 3 HOW? How are you going to connect with your niche audience? This is one of the pillars to this ministry marketing plan. You can drive a lot of traffic to your main website if you learn this one step. You will need to implement the POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA: Sign up and establish your own (free) page at these sites: a) Facebook b) Twitter c) LinkedIn e) YouTube f) MySpace g) ShoutLife, Xianz, or BlabLive.com(Christian Social Sites) h) Tango (Christian Video Site) i) MySpace e) Blogger.com

Step 4WHERE? Where can your target audience find you online? Can they find you? It's not enough just to set up a web site and think people will flock to your site. A good understanding of search engine optimization is a must in any market plan online. Here are other simple SEO steps to learn: - What Does SEO Really Mean?
- Understanding Keywords
- Learning How To Use Google's Keyword Tool
- Understanding SEO On Page Factors
Step 5WHAT? What do you have to add VALUE to your niche market? What information, gift, anointing, music, product do YOU have that can impact a life, help a heart, or change a circumstance around. Remember your clients always have one thought in their mind: "What's in it for me?" Sounds kind of callous but it is a market fact! In addition, what can you provide for free to develop a list of contacts? Finding the answer to this can to lead a wonderful opportunity to communicate with your potential clients. As you provide value and build trust, they are more likely to purchase from you because they have gotten to know you through your e-mail contact! So develop your "Free" product first in exchange for their name and e=mail address. Things To Give For Free:- Blogs--To share your thoughts, your wisdom, your gifts and talents
- E-Book-(On a subject you have a lot of knowledge or steps of improvement, etc)
- Videos
- Webinars
- Music (How about a free download of your latest single?)
 To Sell/Offer at a price: - Your own product(s)
- Affiliate products
- Information products
- Webinars
- DVD's/videos
- Teaching/Speaking engagements
- Performances (musicians)
- Seminars You Lead
Step 6Finally....WHEN? When do you communicate with your niche audience? This is a key and one powerful to these market plan steps. Find a great auto-responder, a computer program that automatically answers and sends e-mail. I prefer Aweber. As you give away information, you can ask for a name and e-mail first. Before you know it, you have a list that you can communicate with and develop trust. You set the letters up once and the auto-responder sends them out automatically on your set schedule. You can be sleeping at night while your auto-responder works for you communicating with your prospective clients and customers!!
