The short answer: is Steve Fogg right for your church?
Steve Fogg's blog is a free, plain-spoken guide to church communication strategy, social media, websites and getting found on Google. It's best for communicators at small and mid-sized churches who need a plan, not just more posts. The catch: new posts come every few weeks rather than daily, and his paid consulting has limited availability.
Who Steve Fogg is for
Great for
- Communicators writing a church communications strategy for the first time
- Churches that want more people to find them on Google
- Teams figuring out what changed on Instagram and Facebook this year
Skip it if
- Production teams looking for livestream, audio or lighting help. A church production magazine covers that.
- Anyone who wants something new to read every day. Posts come every few weeks.
