Strategic Digital Outreach

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the Strategic Digital Outreach website! My name is Frank Johnson. I have been an internet strategist for approximately five years, heavily involved with internet marketing techniques in the business world. The more I learn about internet marketing, the more I find myself thinking, "These techniques should be used to spread the gospel."
This website is meant to serve as an exploration of that line of thinking. As you read, please feel free to comment - my hope is that we will all benefit from each other's wisdom.

Coffee With Scott Aughtmon

Earlier this month, I posted an article about Pathway Church in Palo Alto, California and their refreshing website targeted at unbelievers.

The pastor of Pathway, Scott Aughtmon, contacted me not long after that article appeared. Since I only live about 45 minutes away from Palo Alto, we arranged to meet at Starbucks last Wednesday afternoon. We spent almost two hours talking about how principles of internet marketing can be used to spread the gospel.

One of the most interesting parts of the conversation was hearing Scott talking about his experiments with Google Adwords to promote their church plant. According to Scott, they are receiving a nice stream of visits to the church website as a result of their Google ads.

Here’s a related article.
