On-Demand: New Algorithms, New UU Growth Strategies!

by Peter Bowden
May 22, 2025

Hi UU Growth Lab friends!  

Heres a new UU Growth Lab member training update + Zoom RSVP links for June, July, and August.  If you are not a member of the UU Growth Lab you may learn more and join us here.

In our member area you may find our latest training New Algorithms, New UU Growth Strategies! on social media algorithms, outreach, online hospitality, and membership growth. 

Social media platforms now prioritize showing people content that relate to their known interests.  This changes how we need to craft, name/title, and describe our content. 

If we are smart and strategic, we can put the algorithms that power social media platforms to work for us.  I explain how we can make evergreen content (no dates) that are designed both for newcomers to Unitarian Universalism and the algorithms choosing what people see. 😉   

This training includes extensive details on how to upgrade how you title and describe your YouTube content, as well as my recommendations for turning your Youtube channel into an online welcome center. 

The content from our on-demand member trainings are avaible via video, audio and text so you may read, watch, or listen.
