In the next few days I am going to share some of my ideas, some ideas gleaned from others, and some overall just plain good ideas for church blogging, and how to do it successfully, creatively, and effectively.

Idea 3

Have a guest do it. One of the best ways you can garner interest and lighten your own blogging load is to invite guest bloggers to write posts.  One of the best examples I have seen of this is over at The Swerve Blog. The Guys there at Life Church know a thing or two about successful technology ministry, so why not take a cue from them. Who could you invite to guest blog you ask? How bout another ministry leader, or a church member, or gasp a non member who might have some insight. You could even make guest blogging a part of your regular blog schedule.  To lighten the load even more have a guest blogger do a series  of related posts.

The key to this idea is just getting out there and asking some folks to get involved and share their thoughts.  I am sure that for most any church there are at least a few people other then the pastor whohave something insightful and helpful to share. For example one of LifeChurch.tv guests bloggers was the pastors secretary(administrative assistant), who did a very good 5 part series on how her ministry in helping the lead pastor is so important.(it is!)

So remember, just do it, do it regularly, and have guests do it.
