I have decided to do the first session of the Self-Publishing Simplified Boot Camp as a FREE teleseminar. I would like to invite you to join us. I will be introducing myself and telling you a little bit about my story and will also be talking to you about “Your Passion.”

We’ll discuss how finding your passion can help give you a purpose for life and how that passion can help you to share your message with the world.

I will be sharing with you some of the things we are going to be talking about in the Self-Publishing Simplified Boot Camp and giving you an opportunity at the end of the teleseminar to register and join us for the rest of the classes.

The free teleseminar is Tuesday 10/15/2013 at 2:00 pm EST.

It Is Time to Realign

Posted on September 28, 2013 by Deborah H. Bateman

Have you ever felt like it was time to realign your priorities? I am writing this post to share from my heart with my family, friends, followers and fans to let you know that I am making some changes. Over the past three years I have put my heart, soul and life into the ministry that God has called me to do. I will continue to do that, but I feel like I need to make some changes in order to be able to sustain the ministry and serve you better.

My husband has wanted me to not work on the weekends for quite some time, but I didn’t feel the freedom to do that until now. There have been some changes in our lives recently in that he got a new job and because of that I have the opportunity to travel with him.

Because most of my work is online at this point I can work from anywhere. I have decided to take the opportunity so that I can spend more time with my husband. Life is short and we aren’t promised tomorrow.

I feel that by changing my focus and working Monday through Friday during business hours I will allow myself some freedom as well. I will be able to spend more time with my husband during the week and on the weekends. I will be able to spend time with my children and grandchildren on the weekends as well. I will also be able to schedule time for writer’s meetings, writer’s conferences, church activities and women’s ministry.

I guess you are asking what does this have to do with you. I have been posting seven days a week for the past three years on Daily-Bible-Reading.com and BibleVerseTweet.com. Starting today I will be posting Monday through Friday. There is plenty of content there that I have created in the past three years in the archives for those of you who want to view it on the weekends.

At times I have felt burned out and exhausted. I have felt over worked and under paid. I have also experienced some physical issues. Due to my own physical well-being and the need to realign my schedule I feel these changes are absolutely necessary. I feel I will be able to get some much needed rest and will be able to focus better when I am working.

I love serving you and am excited about what God has done in the past and what He has planned for the future. There will be more books. I plan on publishing one book a month in the Daily-Bible-Reading Series over the next year. I also am planning on publishing another book in the Simplified Series in the next year. I am working on a coaching program to go along with Self-Publishing Simplified: How to Publish a Book on Kindle that I hope to release soon where I will be teaching other writers how to publish their books.

God has been good to me. He has blessed me with a wonderful family that I dearly love. He has blessed me with a ministry where I can serve Him and share with you. He has blessed me with many wonderful friends, followers and fans and I am grateful for every one of you. Thank you for your continued prayers and support as I move forward for His glory.

How to use Facebook Insights to Learn about your Target Market

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Deborah H. Bateman

No matter what your business or ministry is it is important that you know about the people you serve. Facebook Insights is a tool that is on Facebook Fan Pages. You can learn so much about your target market by using this tool. There are different tabs that you can click on and each of those tabs gives you more information about the people who like your fan or business pages. Some of the things you can learn are:

Pages Tab

Where your page likes come from

Your total number of likes up to this point

Posts Tab

Which posts reached the most people

Which posts had the most engagement

When your fans are online

What days of the week they are online

What times of the day they are online

What the best post types are

People Tab

What is the age of your fans

What is the gender of your fans

What is the geographical location of your fans

What languages does your fans speak

What I learned about my audience from using this tool is that 80-85 percent of my fans are women, even though some of my best supporters are men. I am glad to have them both.

The majority of the women who like my pages are between the ages of 25-65, even though there are some women who are both younger and older.

Most of my fans are from the US, even though I have fans from all over the world and welcome them all since one of my goals is to “Share God’s Word” around the world.

Most of my fans speak English, which is understandable since I write and speak English. But, I do have fans who speak other languages as well. I took Spanish in high school, and can recognize some words in Spanish, but I wouldn’t say I speak Spanish.

I learned the times of day that most of my fans are online and the days of the week that most of them are online. This information may help me in knowing when are the best times and days for me to post my messages.

I also learned which posts my fans engaged with the most. This can help me learn what posts my fans like best.

This doesn’t include my entire market since it only includes those people who have liked my Facebook pages, but I believe it is a good representation of my total market.

What tools do you use to help you learn more about your target market?

For those of you who are more technical and want more answers about how to use this tool you may find this Facebook tutorial helpful. Though I found it most helpful to just go into my Facebook page and click on insights to see what I could discover for myself about my tribe. I hope this information helps give you some insight into learning more about the people you serve.

The Book of Titus: Paul’s Letter to Titus

About the book:

The Book of Titus: Paul’s Letter to Titus is a Daily-Bible-Reading study by Deborah H. Bateman. Titus is considered to be one of the Pastoral Epistles along with 1 and 2 Timothy. Paul wrote these letters to help instruct the leaders of the churches how to handle certain situations and how to properly establish the churches of his day. The book of Titus is found in the New Testament of the Bible right after 2 Timothy.

The Book of Titus: Paul’s Letter to Titus contains six daily Bible lessons. Included in each lesson is a brief commentary, the Daily Bible Scripture, a few questions for contemplation or discussion which Deborah calls: Things to think about, and a prayer. This Bible study is good for personal or group studies.

Paul’s letters were not only relevant to his day, but are also relevant to the world we live in today.

The Book of 2 Timothy: Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy

About the book:

The Book of 2 Timothy: Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy is a Daily-Bible-Reading Study Book of the book of 2 Timothy by Deborah H. Bateman. Paul writes this letter to encourage Timothy and also to warn him.

The letter was written to Timothy, who was the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians. It was written by Paul, during his second imprisonment in Rome. Paul had suffered much persecution and desertion by those he loved and served with, but still he gave the Lord the praise for always standing by him no matter what happened. Paul exhorts Timothy by letting him know that things won’t always be easy, but whatever you go through if you have the Lord on your side you can get through it.

The Book of 2 Timothy: Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy contains nine daily Bible lessons consisting of a brief commentary, the daily Bible Scripture, a few questions for for contemplation or discussion called “Things to think about,” and a prayer of the day. It is great for both personal and group Bible study and devotions.
