What kind of Email Reputation do you have?


by

When it comes to email marketing everyone knows to have your email flagged as spam is not good.

How To Get Stuff Done


by

I am someone that loves to check off boxes and get stuff done. In youth ministry, I STRUGGLED with this because ministry with kids is always in flux and never-ending.

It's all about productivity. Currently, I have to write an article for ChurchandMentalHealth.com by Wednesday because I have given myself ... Read More

To check out all of the posts, view the table of contents here] In this chapter, we start to get into helping the character take action. That’s important as having a clear message is good, but we can then put people off with a confusing message on how to implement those ideas. The plan provides evidence that you can deliver and how someone can take action. If these are clearly ... Read More

App Stores In Numbers: A Market Overview [Infographic]


by

Did you know that it's been 10 years since the mobile app market first launched? Crazy, right? Do you wanna to know what's even crazier? The average person now spends 121 hours a month using apps (a month has a total of about 730 hours). It's crazy to me to think that something that didn't exist 10 years ago, now plays such a huge part in our daily lives. ... Read More
