Aphesis Publishing is proud to present two new books by author Jennifer Mitchell Earley:
Speak Life!
Devotions for Mothers & Daughters
A Valuable Resource that will enable mothers to encourage their daughters at every stage of their life:
- As Little Girls
- Tweens: The "Wonder" Years
- A Teen Perspective
- The Journey of Motherhood, and Much More!
Every mother wants the best for her little girl whether that little girl is four, fourteen, or forty. However, a mother's good intentions and desires for the best can sometimes leave her daughter feeling criticized, controlled, and condemned.
Learn how to effectively communicate your feelings of love and concern and Speak Life. These devotions will help you to edify and encourage your little girl at every stage of her life!The tongue holds the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. - Proverbs 18:21
NEW in 2008 - The Gossip DemonAs Christians we have to be very careful about the conversations that we have and the words that we speak because we have the power of life and death in our tongues (Proverbs 18:21). Insomuch as we discuss our circumstances, finances, family, church, co-workers and the like, it is imperative that we ask the Lord to place a gate over our mouths so that we only speak those things which edify and bring forth life (Psalm 141:3).
The Gossip Demon will teach you how to:
- Identify Words of destruction;
- Allow the Holy Spirit to take Control of What You Say & Seal Your Lips;
- Use "God Talk" by communicating in a manner that is life-changing and life-giving; produce victory in your life as well as the lives of others.

I have noticed that many of you are affiliate marketers and this article may interest you. If you have any additional pointers, please add them or start a new discussion. Thanks and Enjoy.
1) HAS THE OWNER OF THE PROGRAM DONE HIS OR HER RESEARCH?
Before you become an affiliate for someone, you want to know one major thing. You want to be very sure they've taken the time to test their whole sales process!
Have they invested some of their own time and money into fine-tuning and improving their sales letter until it really converts visitors into buyers? Is their ordering process simple for your prospects to navigate?
The last thing you want to do is spend a lot of your time and money to generate traffic to a sales letter that can't sell its way out of a paper bag, right?
One way to figure this out is to use a little common sense. How does the sales letter affect you? Is it professional? Does it suck you in? Do you find you can't stop reading it because you just need to know how this product can help solve the problem it's saying it can?
Does it make you want to buy? The last thing you want to do to the lifeblood of your business (your prospects) is sell them "junky" stuff.
2) $25 MINIMUM
You should pick a product that pays you at least $25 for each sale. Unless you become an affiliate for more than one product (we'll touch on this point a little later), stick to the $25 as a minimum price point so you can take your advertising costs out and still make a profit.
3) FREE TO JOIN
It must be free to join an affiliate program. If they are charging you to join, or require you to buy their product first, it's not an affiliate marketing program.
4) WHERE TO FIND GOOD AFFILIATE PROGRAMS
A great place to start is Clickbank. They have one of the largest affiliate marketing programs you can find. Just go to http://www.clickbank.com and get a clickbank ID.
At Clickbank's home page, go to "Earn Commissions" and search for products that fit you and your site. They are even ranked in order of popularity. That's another sign of whether it's a program worth your time.
Amazon has a good affiliate marketing program. Go to http://www.amazon.com and click on "Join Associates" near the bottom of the page. You won't get as much of a commission for each sale as you will from Clickbank or Lifetime Commissions but it does accumulate over time.
5) USE A CONTENT SITE
The real key to being successful with affiliate marketing is to develop a good content based website and weave your affiliate links into all your content. You want to "pre-sell" your prospects rather than "sell" them.
Leave the job of "selling" to the sales letter page you are transferring them to. Your job is to provide your prospects with good, quality content regarding whatever they are interested in. Inside this information, when it's relevant, just "recommend" that they click to an offer you honestly believe will be of immense help to them.
Wouldn't you rather have a friend recommend you something of value and allow you the time to consider whether it's right for you rather than be "sold"? Everyone who visits your site feels the same so remember this.
We mentioned earlier that we'd discuss becoming an affiliate for more than one product and how it affects the minimum commission you're willing to accept. If you put together a content site as we're recommending, the $25 minimum isn't as critical.
Of course, you'd like the maximum, fair commission possible, but if you have 15 or so programs you're recommending, you can offer quality products for less. If one of your products brings you $10-$15 in commission and you have some others paying you $25, $75 or more, you can see you're averaging a good return over-all.
Why aren't you making a ton of cash as an affiliate? Follow these 5 points and you will see big profits in your future!

Hi! Everyone,
Today, I purchased one of the most beautiful, meaningful and inexpensive bracelets ever. A woman of God by the name of Beverly who had a booth at the farmer's market sold it to me. Two things that are dear to me when doing business and purchasing something is (1)When it's a sister in Christ and (2) A sister on the entrepreneurial journey...Just those two bring admiration and inspiration. Well ladies and gentlemen:)...it's a silver bracelet with the Lord's Prayer engraved on it...I'll definitely be purchasing a few more...They'll make perfect gifts for my sisters in Christ. Here's a link to her website: www.applauseusa.net
Many Blessings,
JoAnn
P.S. Beverly did mention she is in the process of updating her website...The bracelet may not be on there but I will post a few pics tomorrow for those interested. Thank you for listening to my rave:)

The weekend is coming to a close and I tried my best to take a "time out" from Cocoa Prints. I was excited to spend time with husband and my son but I found it really hard to not think about my game plan for the upcoming week. I've managed to turn what my husband initally referred to as a "keep her happy" hobby, into a very promising e-business. The thing was, I never in a million years thought that it would go anywhere. So, in a few months and many orders later, I've come to the realization that I'm not just a stay at home mom with a hobby anymore- I'm a real business owner who's discovered a niche, and now I'm on a serious mission to make this work.
To make this work, I knew that I need to put on the brakes and define my business. When people ask me what it is that I sell- what do I say? Who does Cocoa Prints want to be? I need to say what it is that I sell, and say it with complete and total confidence.
I honestly started my business backwards. I knew what I wanted to see as a consumer and a crafter. And the difficultly I had finding the perfect prints just lit a fire in me. But, instead of going by the book and really outlining what it was I wanted to do, I jumped in head first. I had absolultely no idea how or where I would sell products, how much it would cost to just get started, and most importantly - how I was going to market my business. I just knew I was on a mission to bring designs to the market that I could relate to.
After my first of many sleepless nights, I woke up with the energy and curiousity of a 4 year old. I started calling what I considered some of the best multicultural designers (african american, caucasian, & otherwise) on the market asking if I could retail their products. Some "schooled" me, some put me in my place, and some were very encouraging. Either way, after that experience I knew that even though I was entering unfamiliar territory, I was definately on a mission to make my business possible.
