Workout 33: Rag Hustler

Hello Reader,

People don't use the word "rag hustler" much anymore. That's too bad. It's a pretty great word.

One of those things that's gone by the wayside now that we don't do newspapers anymore.

Newspapers are old school, and so are press releases. Still, press releases remain one of my absolute favorite church marketing plays.

You can use them to get featured in local media.

But, they are also a powerful way to get backlinks AND to get your name, address, and phone number cited across the internet. Both of these will help your church's SEO.

Here is this week's workout, on the topic of press release backlinks: workout-33-press-release.pdf

God's blessings,

Pastor Chris Jackson
