If you like a post, use the 'Share This' link at the bottom of the post to share it on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.
Have you ever thought that you can have a significant impact in the New Evangelization simply by using the 'Share This' facility? Every media communication action needs not just content but an effective distribution system. You can write a column for a newspaper. It can get printed, but somebody still has to buy the subscription and somebody has to deliver it to the door.
The new media doesn't work that way. It is free of charge, but it is also free of cumbersome and expensive printing and distribution networks. The stuff I write on this blog goes out instantly and globally. However, I can only boost readership myself to a certain extent. It also needs promotion activity. This is where you can help.
I am moving into a new phase of blogging and media work. I will soon be posting my homilies here again, and in the new year I will start doing some video and radio work. I would like to boost readership.
Your sharing through social networks actually helps to spread the Word of God. I can pump out the content. You can help to get it distributed more widely by sharing. Share and encourage others to share.
Looking forward to reading everything, and passing it on.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have a new blog, "Catholic Frontier...Promise of the 'New Evangelization'", and though it's not well known yet, I will be happy to share some of your posts there. I have just shared a link to "My Father's House"...it is so beautifully expressed and explained. I will also link to your blog in my favorites. Thank you for being willing to share!

I find may of your posts to be ones I want to share. Thank you.
Father - Thank you for having a convenient share button on hand, very helpful.
ReplyDeletePSA to the readership: If you have a blog, set it up with share buttons to appear for each post. (It's one of the design settings at your blog dashboard.) You are much more likely to have your posts shared if you make it easy for people to do so.
