00:00:00:00 - 00:00:05:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Easy social media idea with examples. Part four. This is 00:00:05:21 - 00:00:13:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry the fourth and final installment of the playlist that we are currently in. Here on YouTube. Giving you 00:00:13:04 - 00:00:20:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry as a youth pastor the four easiest idea with a bonus tip. 00:00:20:09 - 00:00:31:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Now, what we've been doing is we've been tracking through all of the different, social media, frameworks that I use in our student ministry that I have set students off to do. 00:00:31:08 - 00:00:44:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And that's the part that's easy. You know, these these games with these challenges, they may not be easy, but now that I have students owning it and that I have students running it, it is making my life and my job 00:00:44:11 - 00:00:52:24 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry as a youth pastor incredibly easy. And so the fourth and final idea, the fourth and final piece of this installment is 00:00:52:24 - 00:00:58:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry transition videos paired with cap cut style memes. 00:00:58:09 - 00:01:11:07 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Now link right here. At the top of the video is a, episode I had with one of my friends, Erik with a K, and we talked about events and better event promotion, and I said, this is the only, 00:01:11:07 - 00:01:22:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry way really to do event promotion on social media, because when you think about event promotion, more often than not you are thinking about, posting a graphic and letting people know about your event. 00:01:22:15 - 00:01:35:00 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But those don't do very well on social for the, you know, and for the for the first and second part, people go on social media to be entertained, to laugh, to whatever. And so these transition style videos where it starts with the 00:01:35:00 - 00:01:41:19 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry video of something else and the most popular one I can think about is like a, a bull, ramming a guy during the running of the bulls. 00:01:41:19 - 00:02:15:28 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then all these people cutting right there to jumping into the back of some chairs and jumping into the back of some furniture at your church and inviting people in your, following you on social media, whatever, inviting them to church. And so these style videos are, a great way to, again, just like the other three that we've been talking about, to send your students out to batch record to tell them, hey, when, you know, when I say, go do this, jump here, do this, this back flip, like, whatever, whatever the the video demands of it. 00:02:15:28 - 00:02:32:04 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Right. And if you start looking for those videos on social media, you'll be able to find those videos on social media. And so, those transition style videos paired with cap cut style videos and so link down below, is a link that will take 00:02:32:04 - 00:02:35:09 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry you to my six favorite of each of those styles, 00:02:35:09 - 00:02:42:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry six of my favorite cap cut meme style videos, and six of my favorite transition based style videos. 00:02:42:09 - 00:03:06:25 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But I also want to let you know that if you hop, down in the link in the description, you will get all of my topic ideas and all of my other templates that I've been talking about and teasing through the first three videos of this playlist. And so if you take each of those two free downloadable links, and then you go and you start filming content not just for your students, but with your students, that's really like the differentiate. 00:03:06:25 - 00:03:07:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry That's really 00:03:07:17 - 00:03:32:03 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry what we're trying to encourage youth pastors and people in there. And people like running church social media to do film content with people, in your church film content, especially with your students, especially with the next generation. You do that for a while. Then you can begin to start to build up enough team, enough volunteer base to start handing some of these things off so that it's being done for you. 00:03:32:03 - 00:03:50:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And all you're doing then is worrying about your posting schedule. Now for the bonus tip. The bonus idea that I have is one of my all time favorite videos, and this one is, you can do it with students, or you can do it with yourself as a youth pastor. And I think that sometimes that makes the most sense. 00:03:50:21 - 00:04:09:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry But, it's a framework. And I saw it somewhere, somehow on a social media platform. But you're scrolling through and immediately when you get there, the person's just pointing like this, right? And they're pointing to a text on screen that says stay or scroll. And then underneath it, it says, why? Says stay your scroll, read Scripture with me. 00:04:09:18 - 00:04:41:07 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then what you do is you read, portion of Scripture for 60s or less. And if you get done reading the scripture, you also, you also then just kind of give them like a little devotional idea, a little devotional thought on like, why you like the verse wise, challenging how it encourages people. And it's a really great way to integrate spiritual practice and spiritual content because like, think about you're physically reading scripture with, the people on your feed, the people that are following you. 00:04:41:13 - 00:05:07:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And if you think about the idea of hybrid taking your in-person and taking your digital and melding them together with the two, it's taking what you do in-person, which is teaching the Bible and sharing Jesus. And, you know, sharing his word and his truth and his gospel, and you're telling, and you're you're bringing that into the everyday moments in the everyday life components of your students and your followers on social media. 00:05:07:17 - 00:05:09:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry It's a fantastic, 00:05:09:20 - 00:05:25:26 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry devotional tool. Now, now that I have given you not only the four that you can do with your students, but that bonus tip of stay or scroll if you look here on screen, if you're watching on YouTube, I post two times per day. And so if every time you're with your students, you're having them batch record. 00:05:25:26 - 00:05:37:02 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So if they're doing, night where they're, you know, capturing a bunch of “Drafts,” if they get 5 or 6, if you go to, you know, “Seven Questions,” they get 5 or 6 the next week. If they do “Man on the Street,” they do 5 or 6. 00:05:37:02 - 00:05:39:27 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then if they do these transition style videos, they get 5 or 6. 00:05:39:28 - 00:05:42:25 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Cap cut memes you give a couple 5 or 6, whatever. 00:05:42:25 - 00:05:56:12 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And you also, can sit down and do a bunch of these, “Stay or Scroll” videos, get, you know, as many as you can in one sitting with, four staff members. I was able to get like, 20, a couple weeks back. So you can get them pretty quick. 00:05:56:14 - 00:06:12:22 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And you. So you just start batch recording them. If you think about it, for me, I post five days a week because I work five days a week. I don't post on my days off. It's just like a margin thing. You could. It's not that big of a deal if you do. But, you know, I like to be off and be all the way off from work. 00:06:12:22 - 00:06:32:24 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so, I post, three message clips per week, and then I post one of these other five things that we've talked about one draft, one seven questions, one transition video, one man on the street, and then one stay or scroll. So you add all those together. That's eight I post five days a week, twice a day. 00:06:32:24 - 00:07:00:24 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry That leaves me with two additional spots. One thing that I also do is and it's not video based, but I do a meme Monday. All right. I'm just as I'm scrolling social media, I ask other people in our team also, as they're scrolling social media to screenshot memes and put them in a meme folder. And so I have a meme folder with probably over 200 memes, and I just go in there and I just pick my favorite ones, download them, you know, move them to a new folder that says posted or archived or whatever. 00:07:00:24 - 00:07:19:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So I don't, you know, use the same ones and consecutive weeks. And then I add so that fills in that additional spot there. And then the last spot is, when we meet on Wednesday nights, I walk around with my camera and I film little, snippets and little clips, and then I just bring that into cap cut. 00:07:19:11 - 00:07:32:12 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry No. So no cap. I bring them to TikTok, add all those clips, click a little button, they're called auto cut. And then, TikTok will create for me a little recap style video based on the clips that I have provided. And that's just like a recap video 00:07:32:12 - 00:07:35:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry of our Wednesday night programing. So you add all those together. 00:07:35:13 - 00:07:42:12 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry The the four easy social media ideas run by my student ministry team who are both capturing it and now editing it, the 00:07:42:12 - 00:07:43:11 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry stay or scroll, which 00:07:43:11 - 00:07:47:05 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry they can also edit that one. It's a really easy one to edit. And then my three 00:07:47:05 - 00:07:48:23 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry message clips and then 00:07:48:23 - 00:07:52:06 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Meme Monday and then, the recap video, there's all 00:07:52:06 - 00:07:54:17 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry ten of my clips and then I interspersed throughout the week. 00:07:54:17 - 00:08:11:13 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And I don't do it like, you know, Meme Monday, obviously I post on Monday, my message clips, I post about same days. I do a Thursday because we had just preached on on Wednesday. I do it on Sunday because that's the connect group topic for that day. And then I do it again on Tuesday as just a reminder like, hey, don't forget this what we had talked about. 00:08:11:20 - 00:08:32:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And then the following Thursday I post again the new one because we had a new message on any given Wednesday. But all those other ones, those stay or scroll draft, seven questions, man on the Street and transition videos. I move those all throughout my week like I have kind of my my standing pillars like every day. You know, like Sunday is a teaching, Monday is Meme Monday. 00:08:32:21 - 00:08:50:15 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Tuesday is another teaching clip. Wednesday is the recap, video and then Thursday is another teaching clip. So any of those five, I just sprinkle them throughout any of those other places. And so I try to post like one draft per week. I try to post like one seven questions per week. I try to post like one man on the street per week. 00:08:50:19 - 00:09:07:08 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And if I've already posted one, then you know, on Sunday. Then when I get to Monday, I'm not going to do double duty and post another draft. I'll go get one of the other ones. And the beautiful thing is, I store all of that stuff in Google Drive, and I know I created just like an archive folder. And so when I've posted it, I move it into archive. 00:09:07:08 - 00:09:10:03 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry And so any of the ones that are an archive, I've already done, any 00:09:10:03 - 00:09:25:16 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry of the ones that are not in archive, I I know I'm free to post and then I post it and I move it to archive and that's it. I don't use a scheduling tool. I still post to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and I do those all directly from my phone. 00:09:25:16 - 00:09:43:21 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry So I'll go on Google Drive on my phone, download the video, and then go post it in all three places. I may copy and paste the caption as I'm going and post it in all three places. And then and then I delete it off my phone, you know, to keep, keep phone storage clean so that is my easy idea for you. 00:09:43:21 - 00:10:05:29 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry These transition style videos are really fun. They're really like, kind of a, fun thing to do with your students and also fun to edit. They're just goofy and they're funny, and, students love it. So I hope this is helpful to you. I hope this playlist was helpful to you. But as you're moving on and as you're beginning to implement this strategy, I just I wonder if you are thinking like, okay, that's great. 00:10:05:29 - 00:10:30:20 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry Now how do I get more people here to my events? Well, I talked about it earlier. Me and my friend Erik sat down and we talked through a two part episode. It's going to be linked right here. His video on his channel about how to program, an outreach event for your student ministry, and then this video right here on my channel, which is how you use social media to promote, that said event in your student ministry. 00:10:30:25 - 00:10:40:27 Nick Clason | Hybrid Ministry You go check both of those videos. If you haven't yet, give him a subscribe and go follow his channel. But until next time. And as always, don't forget my friends to stay hybrid.
