The Octogenarian YouTube Pastor: Mike Bayer on Building an Online Brand, Senior Ministry, and More (Ep 133)

“Why do you want to do a YouTube channel? What are you gonna share? Pick your message, pick your purpose, pick your why.”

How do you start a YouTube channel at the age of 81, and reach 25K subscribers in less than 6 months? That’s what pastor Mike Bayer did. Now he’s at over 44K subscribers, and it’s providing him with a second source of income in his later years of ministry.

I talked with Mike about how he made YouTube work for him, plus:

  • The importance of intentional ministry to senior adults
  • How to use your church’s YouTube channel for better engagement
  • Ideas for making an income outside the walls of the church
  • Ministry adjustments for the fourth quarter of life
