Pictures draw wanted attention

If you're organization has a Social Media presence, it is important to post something of interest regularly ... at least 3-4 times a week, ideally once a day.

But what to post? 

You've heard the saying "a picture paints a thousand words" ... well, pictures are vitally important to encouraging viewers to look at and read your content. Look at all those annoying ads that appear in your Social Media ... sometimes the "cute-sy, eye-catching pictures are not even remotely related to the ad subject!) 

So, take pictures, find pictures (morguefile.com is a great place to start for free, public domain images) or create them in your favorite software, and use them when you post thoughts, events, information, anything ... 

And if you can't come up with something to post for today, you can always try posting something directly from other sites (either post their URL or use a share feature from the source page.) One good example is http://sightpsalms.org/ ... sign up and get an inspiring photo & spiritual thought via email each day, and go to their page to share to Social Media.

And for the United Methodists among you, whatever we post to Susquehanna Conference Social Media (such as Facebook) can be shared on your personal and church pages too! Every Sunday we post a scripture quote/graphic (designed by us!) to inspire and encourage ... help us in sharing the Good News — and all the other useful information we post too!
