| Dear ThinkOnIt Supporters,
In February we changed our strategy regarding the Participation Puzzle. We decided to keep it free to anyone who wants to draw closer to God through the study of His Word. In addition, we will also send out a free Participation Puzzle as a gift for supporting the ministry with any amount.
In March, we continued working on Discovery Bible Studies. We have not made them available via subscription yet. As a result, we will conduct a little more user research to ensure the product is providing enough value to the customer.
In April, we did some website redesign to improve usability and increase traffic with optimization around "Bible Verses by Topic" keyword phrase. So far the results have been worth it. We are getting higher traffic now than before the change. To see the new page layout, visit Bible Devotions, scroll down to see the new "Bible Verses by Topic" section. Notice the summary devotions link to separate page for that topic.
Also in April, we received our Federal approval of our 501(c )(3)application. This means we are now officially recognized as a public charity, retroactive to May 19, 2009. As a result, we are able to accept donations, which are tax deductible to our donors. We are also eligible for non-profit discounts for certain business services, such as our email marketing software and banking. In addition, our organization is now tax exempt from the Federal standpoint.
Our next step is to complete the State of California process for tax exempt status. The cost of application is $900. Start praying for income and donations to help cover the cost! We must apply within 27 months of incorporation.
By the way, if you know of anyone interested in volunteering to convert some documents to HTML template please let us know. We have about 40 hours worth of work. The work itself is copy/paste/proof read and edit as needed. It's pretty easy but tedious.
Send me a note with any referrals by going to Contact Us page.
Don't forget, you can follow us on Twitter. Until next month, may God richly bless you as you acknowledge Him in all your ways.
In His Mighty Love,
Elizabeth Marks
Founder, ThinkOnIt Bible Ministries, Inc.
