YouVersion Mobile: Bible On Your Phone!

YouVersion is an online Bible tool developed by LifeChurch.tv. It is different from other online Bible such as BibleGateway.com in the sense that it’s more than just a text Bible but it also has an Audio version.

Aside from the Audio version, you will also be able to engage with other registered YouVersion users, create your own reading plans, write a journal, bookmark and tag verses, contribute to the community, link verse as a reference, and save a contribution as your “Like” or I assume it works like My Favorites.

The mobile version is available for Iphone, Blackberry, and Android and boasts the following features:
1. 40 different translations in 22 languages (including Spanish, German, French, Chinese, and more)
2. The One-Year Reading Plan provides daily selections to keep you on track when you’re on the go.

5. Learn from others by checking out recent contributions. Just tap the number next to the verse.

Tips for Driving Traffic to Your Church Website Part 3

3. Give Reasons for Traffic


Have you ever been invited to a party and you're so excited but when you got there, there really was not too much going on?

It's the same thing with websites. People visit your website in hopes that they will find something valuable there for them.  People love "goodies" and so when you invite them to visit your website, there is a certain level of expectancy.

I can't remember how many times I have gone to websites only to get disappointed. Overall design is substandard, content is outdated, information is hard to find, and so on and so forth.  And guess what? I'm not coming back to those websites again.

They lost a what "could have been" a regular traffic. Those websites failed to convert a visitor into a regular. Imagine how many times this happens on a website?

So what are the ways that you can acquire consistent traffic and convert those visitors into regulars?
