Timing is Everything!

Ever wonder why your well-crafted posts don't get the engagement you hoped for? It might not be what you're saying but WHEN you're saying it!

The digital world is crowded, but posting at the right time can help your message rise above the noise. When you post during your business or church's peak hours, you increase the chances of your posts being seen, engaged with, and shared. That means more eyes on your church's activities, messages, and events.

Our Slow Growth Method isn't just about crafting authentic posts; it's also about delivering them when they can make the most impact. We dive deep into analytics to find out when your congregation is most active online, ensuring your message hits home.

Let's make your message timely, and let's make Heaven more crowded together!

Everyone asks why we are so passionate about social media...

In a world that often feels divided, our mission at Upcrowd Social is clear and profound: to make heaven crowded. We believe in using the power of social media not just as a platform, but as a pulpit to share the incredible stories and testimonies of what God is doing within the church with those on the outside.

Every post, every story, every tweet is an opportunity to break down walls and introduce the real Jesus to the world. It's about showcasing the raw, authentic experiences of faith, hope, and love that define our church communities. From the miraculous transformations to the simple acts of kindness that echo Jesus' teachings, we aim to share it all.

Let's harness the power of digital to unite, inspire, and invite. Together, we can transcend physical boundaries and create a virtual fellowship that leads more souls to Christ. It's about turning online connections into spiritual awakenings, ensuring that every like, share, and comment is a step toward an even more loving community that makes Heaven crowded.

Join us in this mission. Share your story, lend your voice, and let's show the world the real Jesus — the one of endless grace, boundless love, and unwavering forgiveness.

One time isn't enough!

Did you know it often takes seven encounters with a message on social media before someone takes action? Whether it’s deciding to join a community, accept an invitation, or simply pay closer attention, repetition is key. This principle is especially crucial when it comes to inviting people to significant events like Easter or Christmas services.

One invitation is a start, but to truly resonate and make an impact, varying your approach and reaching out multiple times in creative ways can make all the difference. It’s not just about reminding; it’s about engaging, inspiring, and connecting in a manner that feels personal and meaningful.

At Upcrowd Social, we specialize in crafting strategies that do just that. From eye-catching visuals to compelling narratives, we know how to utilize the power of social media to reach people exactly where they are and invite them into a journey of faith with open arms.

Let’s make your next big event not just seen, but felt. Let’s inspire action, foster connections, and bring more souls to Christ together. One post at a time, seven times over. 🙌

Let’s Talk Authenticity: Your Church's Social Media Feed 🤔

Hey there, Upcrowd family! We get it—your church calendar is filled with exciting events, services, and community programs, and you're eager to share them all. 📆 But let's not forget, social media should be more than just a digital bulletin board.

Why? Because a calendar doesn’t tell stories. A calendar doesn’t laugh during a shared joke or shed tears during a moving sermon. A calendar doesn't hug, support, or listen. 🤗

In other words, while your church calendar informs, it's the STORIES that transform. 👏

Sharing real-life experiences, personal testimonies, and candid moments does more than just document the church activities. It humanizes your congregation, fosters a sense of community, and most importantly, allows others to see the transformative power of faith in action. 🙏

So let’s strike a balance. For every event you post about, consider sharing a human story — a testimonial, a community service highlight, or even a funny behind-the-scenes moment. These authentic snapshots make your digital space as inviting and impactful as your physical one. ❤️

08/08/2024

Ever think of social media as more than just a scroll and tap? We do! 📲

Imagine it this way: Just like the missionaries venturing into new territories, we're all diving into our feeds, stories, and comments. Every like or share, every genuine chat or story shared, could be a touch of kindness, a small act to show Jesus, or a spark of hope for someone out there.

So next time you hop online, remember – you're on a mission, too. Let's make every post count, and every chat meaningful! 🤝

Let us help you reach the crowd!

08/05/2024

Building an engaged community is a dream for many churches, but how do you grow your 'Upcrowd' in the digital age? Here's a brief guide:

Purposeful Posting: Don’t just post to post. Have a clear purpose behind each piece of content—whether it's for community engagement, spiritual guidance, or event promotion.
Engage, Don’t Just Broadcast: Respond to comments, engage in meaningful conversations, and let your community know you're actively listening.

Consistent Branding: Ensure your church’s brand voice is consistent. This isn’t just about logos and colors, but the tone and message you convey.

Content Calendar: Plan ahead! A content calendar helps maintain a consistent posting schedule and ensures a balanced mix of content types.

Analyze & Optimize: Regularly review the performance of your posts. Understand what resonates with your audience and optimize your strategy accordingly.

Remember, the digital realm is vast, but with the right strategy, you can create meaningful connections and grow your Upcrowd. Let's plant the seeds of faith and watch them flourish online! 🌳

Why Social Media Should Be a Pastoral Concern

According to The Global State of Digital 2022, the average person spends approximately 2.5 hours a DAY on social media. Let that sink in. 🤯

If you’re attending church for two hours a WEEK, then you're spending more time scrolling through your feed every day than in collective worship in seven days. Even if you’re dedicating an hour a day to prayer and Bible reading—which is a commendable practice—you're still spending more than double that time on social platforms. 📖 vs 📱

So, why should pastors and church leaders pay attention? 🤔

Simply put, social media has enormous power to disciple people. It affects their thoughts, emotions, and actions, perhaps more than any other form of media. What happens on your church's social media platform is NOT to be taken lightly. It's time we shift our perspective—social media isn't just a bulletin board for church activities; it's a NEW MEANS OF DISCIPLESHIP.

So let’s commit to using these platforms not just to inform, but to inspire, uplift, and guide our communities.

It's more than capturing moments, we are all about capturing hearts.

This is where the heartbeat behind Amy-Cole Photography turned visionary of Upcrowd Social. For 5 years, Amy and Josh dedicated themselves to Amy-Cole Creative, serving small businesses and non-profits with social media content creation, workshops, and strategic social media. Yet, a deeper calling stirred within their souls.

Grounded in faith, both raised by ministers, and united in ministry as a Worship Pastor husband and Worship Leader wife, their life has been a testament to serving and loving others. But a moment came when they felt called to pivot their journey towards a mission they couldn’t ignore: to use their gifting to serve the Kingdom. And that is when Upcrowd Social was born — a purpose-driven venture aimed at helping churches connect with their communities through the power of social media and storytelling. It's even more than that, it's sharing testimony of God's saving power and the restoration He brings through his grace and mercy.

With a belief as strong as steel that social media, when wielded with intention and love, can be a conduit to share the gospel of Jesus, they set forth. Their vision? To make Heaven crowded. To tell the stories of grace, redemption, and hope that dwell within church walls and beyond.

In just one year, Upcrowd Social has seen the fruits of faithfulness, touching lives and amplifying the reach of churches eager to share the love of Jesus. This isn’t just about posting content; it’s about opening doors to hearts seeking light. It’s about creating spaces where connections are made, and communities are built. It’s about saying "yes" to a call, no matter the odds.

They love loving people, and Upcrowd Social is their latest chapter in a life devoted to just that. As we celebrate this journey, we invite you to join us in this mission. Because when love leads the way, incredible things happen.

Here’s to making Heaven crowded, one post at a time.

At Upcrowd, we get to be multifaceted.

While our business model caters to churches and non-profits, our owner owns a wedding business that operates as a small business.

We love ministry! We’ve served in ministry all of our lives as a pastor kid and now in worship ministry, but we also love to help small businesses thrive.

Coming soon, a special announcement about an online workshop for small business owners to learn how to schedule content, create content, develop a brand and voice, and content calendars ready to take action.

Stay tuned because exciting announcements are ahead and we can’t wait to share the news!

Do you want to create your own Upcrowd?! Follow along!

07/25/2024

We have availability!

We are headed into fall and we continue our goal of making Heaven crowded.

We have openings for two churches that are looking for authentic and personalized postings and strategy.

Strategy is an amazing tool to grow your feeds. Just always remember that strategy for social media doesn’t change your account overnight. It’s a slow growth and engaging post that move it forward.

You can get authentic growth. Let’s do this together!

07/16/2024

It's not just about posting, it's about purpose.

We're passionate about helping your church communicate its mission in a meaningful way on social media. Long gone are the days of generic graphics created for every account. It's time to be creative! It's time to tell your community that you're ready to show them Christ and be a light!

Let's connect and create your !

07/14/2024

Stop making it all about you!

Are there some things you should share? Absolutely! Churches should be sharing anything on their main account that touches on 80% of their congregations…

But real life and life change is where the magic happens. If you want to grow the kingdom using social platforms, the outside needs to know what life change is happening on the inside.

Tell the story, not just the event!

07/10/2024

Why do churches need social media?

It’s a place where friends from all over gather. It’s the best place to get news out fast.

Have you ever found out someone had a baby or passed away via social media? How about someone is changing jobs or a church has called a new Pastor?

Social media is a fast way to connect with people all around the world.

This is why it’s important to share the gospel and hope of Jesus through this avenue. While some think it’s just to promote events and current happenings, or maybe even a sermon series…that’s not what people want to know from your church social media pages.

They want to know real life stories. How had God changed your heart, your church, your family…and how He can change their life too.

Dear churches, it’s time to use your platform to tell the story, not sell the church events to the masses.

Let’s tell the story of Jesus together. Visit our website to inquire and let’s have a chat about how we can serve your church and create your Upcrowd!

07/08/2024

Don't you want them to know you?

One of the biggest mistakes I see churches (and small businesses) make is not setting a standard for the social media ministry and presences.

You want people to take a glance at your content and know where it's coming from. Your voice and portraits need to have a cohesive nature so people don't have to guess.

Instead, they'll read it and want to know more!

How are you making a difference with your social media ministry. Are you slapping something on to cover the base and check the box? Or, do you have a plan and a strategy in place to make it feel like a home. After all, aren't we inviting people to come into that space?

We have openings for July and August! We'd love to do a mentor session with your church or create a strategy for you and run your accounts. It's that simple!

Let's make Heaven crowded together! Let's create your Upcrowd!

07/06/2024

It's important to tell people who you are...

Less important to tell what you do!

Make sure you use your church social media as a platform to build hope and show Jesus! After all, isn't our mission to make Heaven crowded?

07/04/2024

“May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” - Peter Marshall

Happy F O U R T H!

07/01/2024

Reach out! We would love to see how we can help !

06/26/2024

It's an important piece of the puzzle!

While we don't want to be like other business models, it is important for any church to develop a voice and a theme so that people recognize you in your community. Is this the part that will get people to Jesus, probably not. But it is the part that will make them stop and take a look at what you're doing.

It's proven that people love to see authentic behaviors on social media, but they also love consistency. It says a lot about your church when they see that cohesion and they want to see more of what you're doing.

At Upcrowd, we can help you create a plan for your church (or small business) to build and plan for the future.

Let's grow together and make Heaven crowded!

Let us help create your Upcrowd!

Have you wondered what @upcrowd.social is all about? We love to help make Heaven crowded by sharing the story of Jesus and the community where you serve him faithfully. We help churches discover the avenue of social media, content creation, branding, and all for the sake of the kingdom of God! A pastor that allows Upcrowd to share the vision of his church said it best, “ I want to thank Amy Sullins and Upcrowd Social for their outstanding work. Upcrowd understands the local church and the needs of the church to communicate effectively for the growth of God’s kingdom. With Upcrowd, I do not have to worry about whether we as a church are communicating well. I know we are!” Are you looking to increase your viewership online so that others can learn more about your church or ministry? We currently have two available spots for new accounts! We’d love to chat with you! Let’s make Heaven crowded together! Let’s create your Upcrowd! #upcrowdsocial #makeheavencrowded #socialmediaforchurches #churchsocialmedia #socialmarketing #socialsermon

Are you looking for a way to take the guess work out of posting on social media?! Want to do some co-work with me and let’s plan out your content and let me show you how it’s all done in one day?! Then join us! There are many extras along the way, but you’ll be a pro when you’re done! So ready or now, here we go. THE FIRST FIVE will receive $70 off with code UPCROWDNOW. I’ll see you on February 20! #upcrowdsocial #contentworkshop #smallbusiness #smallbusinessga #photographer #socialmediamarketing #contentcreator #planyoursocialmedia

Social media is a long term game with a short term method. You can’t expect for it all to just change and the followers to grow immediately. You have to build a reputation of respect and honest. I recently had a client stop all services after two years of intense and hard work on their account. They were growing and succeeding and they suddenly didn’t see the need since it had got to a place of consistency. Their social presences has all but fallen apart now that they’ve stopped because people see the consistency and real moments and chatter have stopped. Don’t get caught thinking it’s all fixed and will be ok with a serious strategy for growth. Social media is ever changing. Your strategy should be too! #upcrowdsocial #makeheavencrowded #createyourupcrowd

It’s time to create your Upcrowd! Churches (and small businesses), there are people wanting to know more about you. They’re wanting to see if they’ll feel welcomed or loved in your congregation. Most churches believe just sharing the sermon or a worship set is how you draw them in…in reality, they want to see life change. They want to see joy and smiles! They want to see how you are serving your community and making lives around you better. That’s why we are here! We will guide you through the process of creating something special for your church and the community that will follow! Let’s make Heaven crowded together! Reach out for a consultation and chat about what Upcrowd can do for you!!! #upcrowdsocial #makeheavencrowded #createyourupcrowd

Upcrowd is HERE

IT IS FINALLY HERE!!! We are so excited to announce a new way of social media in the church! Upcrowd.Social is here! So many churches don't have the tools or resources to have an amazing social media and website presence. That all changes today. Upcrowd is built by Amy Sullins. She, with her husband, has served in worship, discipleship, and administrative ministry for over 20+ years. One thing she has noticed is that churches are missing a great opportunity to speak to people outside the walls of their church. Social media and websites should be part of your mission and ministry standard. How does Upcrowd help you? We build an intentional one on one strategy with your church. Gone are the days of generic postings just to get fake engagement...we are here to create specific brand and style for your church so that you're noticed in your community. Upcrowd is also an amazing resource for churches that can't build this type of position into their personnel budgets. When you hire Amy and her team, they work with you to build a voice on social media and your website! We have helped small businesses, photographers, and churches for over 10 years in this industry, but now we feel a call to this side of ministry! Want more info? Check us out at www.upcrowd.social and while you're there, meet our amazing team of advisors. Let's make Heaven crowded together! Let's build your Upcrowd! Video by Colby Griner Films
