Email lists can still be very effective
Email remains the best way of maintaining contact with an opted-in list of friends or supporters.
Facebook, Twitter and other social media area great at building relationships, finding new contacts, and enhancing your profile among your affinity group or community. But to ensure a specific message reaches people who have asked to hear it, an email list remains the best way in most circumstances.

Best social media tip ever: don't multi-task, set time blocks
The social media monster is out to get you! How to beat him:
- Don't multi-task. Do each thing in time blocks. Then desist completely till its next time block. One at a time: Twitter, Facebook, emails, creative stuff, other responsibilities.
- Sometimes even switch off – don't be like the girl at 0:18 in the frieze on the bronze statue at the magnificent rebuilt London St Pancras station.

Answering and posing Christian questions online
The Web is primarily a relationship builder. If it connects my computer to yours, then it connects me to you, your thoughts to mine. Everything else is just the nuts and bolts.
Very often, such relationships are fleeting. But worthwhile. John at ChurchCrunch explains how he uses Aardvark to connect with people who are asking spiritual questions.
Charlotte writes how she helps people asking questions on Yahoo Answers.
Rob from New Zealand says, “I am doing my best to reach others through Facebook and YouTube. YouTube is easy as you just reply to comments about clips and get a conversation going.”
There is also a huge need for Christians to become e-mentors for inquirers who write to large web outreach ministries.

How to sign up for Google alerts, and find top keyword searches in search engines
Google offers a remarkable Alerts service. You can set up a request for email notification any time that new online content appears relating to any keyword, or keyword group, that you have specified.
You can further specify whether this should be content listed on Google News, Blogs, Videos or the main comprehensive Google database. You can also ask to be informed as it happens, once a day or once a week.
