Welcome to The Church Marketing Masterclass. Our Mission is to help you create and implement an effective digital marketing strategy so your church can reach more people and grow your church. Congratulations on taking the first step of your journey. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way. Now, let's take action and follow the instructions below to get started. ✅ Step 1: Introduce Yourself Say "Hi!" to everyone in our community! Just copy and paste the questions below, and maybe add some extra details if you want: - What's your name? - What's your role? - What church are you at? - What is your Instagram handle? - What is the #1 outcome you want to achieve being here? - What is the #1 obstacle getting in the way of achieving that outcome? Post it as a comment on the welcome post - pinned in the community. We're all here to get to know each other, so feel free to share as much as you want. No need to be shy! :-) ✅ Step 2: Unlocking Levels We're all about community. This means we're active, engaged, and supportive of everybody here. We need YOUR help to make this a thriving community. That's why we incentivize our members for interacting with one another. Here's how it works: - You level up by commenting on other people's posts AND by sharing posts yourself. - Your level is shown at the bottom right of your avatar. - You earn more points the more you engage with others inside this community. - 1 like = 1 point. Here's how the point system works: - Level 1 = 0 points - Level 2 = 5 points - Level 3 = 20 points Here's what you can do to level up fast: - Hit 'Like' 👍 on every helpful post or comment you see to help others level up. - Organize your posts cleanly like I'm doing now. This makes your posts easier to read. - Make sure your profile picture is a photo of you.

Sign up for Capture collab using promo code "TCMM" for a discount! https://capturecollab.com/ Step 1: Setting Up Capture Collab To begin organizing your church's photography, the first step is setting up Capture Collab. After creating your account, you will encounter the default view, which may include a campus if you have already added one. Next, create a new collection. Name this collection after your campus, even if you have only one. For example, "West Campus." This naming convention helps keep photos organized by location and manageable as your church grows. Step 2: Creating a Photo Shoot Once the campus is created, you will be prompted to create a photo shoot. This is the uploading process. Click the upload button, select your campus, and name the photo shoot. For instance, "Sunday Morning Photos, April 1st." Specify the location, which can be the same as your campus. This keeps things searchable. You can also tag people in the photos, like tagging your pastor if it’s a dedicated photo shoot of them. For generic Sunday photos, skip this step. Step 3: Adding Tags to Your Photos Tags are crucial for making your photos searchable later. Add tags that describe the occasion, like "Sunday Service," "Worship," or specific details like "Drums" or "Foyer." These tags will be applied to all the photos you are about to upload. Step 4: Uploading Photos Select the photos to upload. This process is quick and efficient. You can walk away while the upload completes. Think about how you will search for these photos in the future and add relevant tags accordingly. Step 5: Batch Editing and Tagging After uploading, view your assets. Enter batch edit mode to tag specific photos for easier searching later. For example, select photos of drums and tag them with "drums." Repeat this process for other categories like "guitar," "congregation," and "stage." Step 6: Searching and Filtering Photos Use the search function to quickly find specific photos. Instead of navigating through campuses and photo shoots, go directly to the latest uploads and filter by tags like "drums," "guitar," or "worship."
