The webmaster speaks!

First, I regret to inform you that no church had today covered with 24 hour prayer.

I have decided to start using social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) to promote Operation Rolling Thunder. Of course, I will be doing this locally, but a part of the wonder of the Internet is the fact that I will inadvertently help spread this idea around the world as well.

I have been making YouTube videos for several years. They are almost entirely about owning a window cleaning business. One day I went to check my YouTube stats and saw that I had over 270,000 viewings of my videos! That is really pretty impressive for such a boring subject of little consequence.

I believe a big reason for my modest success is that I don't drone on endlessly. I get to the point and say what I have to say in 4-5 minutes. If you talk longer than that, you lose people. I am also pretty good at simplifying things, and I have a pretty dedicated fan base. One guy wrote me to tell me he spent all night watching all my videos one after another. I was amazed.

Below is my first one about 24/7 prayer. I thought it was marginally OK, but my charm is authenticity and simplicity. I will make more about the seven spheres of influence and how and why we pray for them.




I am using Twitter with each blog post now. The blog software I am using allows me to post automatically, and it begins with the blog's name. It starts "Gainesville Prayer Aggregator" and then lists the link to the post. Well, I put a hash tag, the # symbol in Twitter-speak, in front of the first 2 words. That means it starts, "#Gainesville #Prayer Aggregator."

What does this do? It means that people who follow those hash tags, #Gainesville and #Prayer, will be automatically notified of these posts! It will attract like-minded people and increase the size of our army.

God bless you and see you tomorrow!
