Guests, Members, and Partners
The Book Courses already provide a natural progression:
Guests receive the introductory resources.
Members receive additional resources that encourage continued growth and fellowship.
Partners receive exclusive resources as they continue investing in the ministry.
If a book has been published but is currently available only to Members or Partners, Encouraging Bookstore may distribute it using Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) together with coupon codes.
Adina asked a great question regarding this, and it gave me an opportunity to ask my Husband to clarify this https://encouragingbookstore.com/2026/07/eb-blueprints-revealed-part-3/#comment-30836
IMPORTANT. Rather than displaying coupon codes publicly, it's important to distribute them privately through the Fellowships. So please check your LNG page for any coupon codes that are displayed, and check the EDD Buy Now takes the buyer to be able to purchase the book, not going to DPD.
This creates a much clearer progression while preventing unnecessary public downloads.
Simplifying Every Book
Each title should have a consistent structure.
One shared Launch Page
- Translatable content
- Available languages
- Shared Reviews
One page for each language
- eBook
- Paperback
- Audiobook
- Purchase links
Rather than maintaining separate translated Launch Pages, only the language-specific purchase pages need to be maintained.
Each language team becomes responsible for maintaining only its own language, working together with its ePartner. MAINTAINING your OWN Language is vital—especially as we are building LAUNCH pages.
For example, PTG, I noticed missing pictures, links needing updating (found on the LAUNCH pages), and outdated covers on packets that need replacing.
When we use the divide-and-conquer approach, it will dramatically reduce maintenance.
The current "Buy Now" buttons and visible coupon codes need to be removed because access will instead flow naturally through the Book Courses with the natural progress through Guests, Members, and Partners.
Shared Reviews
One of the biggest opportunities is consolidating reviews.
Instead of scattered review pages across multiple books and websites, every title should have one Shared Reviews page.
Readers' reviews are really testimonies.
They become some of our strongest marketing tools.
AI analysis has already shown which reviews most attract new readers.
Claude helped identify the strongest reviews, while Gemini assisted in cleaning and improving the code.
Once volunteers gather the remaining reviews from the various websites, the same process can be repeated to create polished Shared Review pages for every title.
Housing all reviews on a single page also allows GPTranslate to perform much more effectively while eliminating countless duplicate pages.
This also provides an opportunity to replace the current review plugin with one that better supports long-term growth.
Website Standards
Several standards should be followed throughout the renovation.
- Pictures should never be placed inside text boxes. Images should always be inserted properly using the website layout.
- Duplicate pages should be eliminated whenever possible.
- Translatable text should remain centralized, which we are doing in the Media Folders.
- Language teams maintain only their own content.
- Consistent layouts should be used across every title.
Selling on EB
If Encouraging Bookstore continues offering direct downloads, Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) has already proven to be reliable and easy to maintain.
However, the preferred approach is to direct visitors to established retailers whenever possible.
Amazon provides worldwide distribution with almost no maintenance on our part.
Likewise, AI audiobook platforms such as inAudio continue expanding our reach globally.
Rather than managing sales ourselves, our ministry can concentrate on producing content and encouraging readers.
However, if books are not available to everyone, we can easily provide a purchase price and coupons that are available by becoming a member or partner. Here is an example. Living Lesson Book 2. Unfortunately, He didn't reveal this to me, so many of my English EDD "Buy Now" buttons are gone.
Here are the examples on the course pages: Living Lessons Book 2 for members and Living Lessons Book 4 for partners.
Marketing Is the Opportunity
The greatest limitation is no longer publishing.
Amazon is moving faster than we ever imagined. In many cases, new books are outperforming older resources that were promoted for months.
The real challenge is no longer distribution.
The challenge is:
- More translations.
- Better marketing.
- More Reviews—our readers' testimonies.
Modern AI platforms can already take a book cover, analyze the back-cover description, incorporate three or four powerful testimonies, and automatically generate multiple promotional videos.
Those videos can then be distributed across every connected social media platform.
Every advertisement, every review, every short video, and every sale becomes another opportunity to introduce desperate women to one branch of RMI—whether Restore Your Marriage, HopeAtLast, LoveAtLast, HomeGrown Children, or Encouraging Women.
Every promotional piece should include a simple invitation:
"Be sure to leave a Review and share YOUR testimony."
Those testimonies will continue multiplying the reach of every book far beyond what traditional marketing alone could accomplish.
UPDATE: True to my testimony, my Husband had me reach out to Marta since I know she personally has 1.17K subscribers to ask if she might be interested in experimenting and overseeing the MARKETING since Anastasia is so busy with the Be E CLASSIC project. So I said I'd send her a couple of social media videos for her to look at.
Since we have G-Suite, giving us free access to everything GOOGLE'S.NEW.TOOL
and PODCAST CLONE that's fascinating and possibly something that would draw a new audience or bring some back who have forgotten the resources we have to keep them spiritually fed and encouraged.
Final Summary
The Encouraging Bookstore renovation transforms EB from an online bookstore into a global ministry resource center. By simplifying the website, centralizing each title into a single Launch Page, directing visitors through Book Courses, consolidating Reviews into shared testimony pages, and relying on Amazon and AI distribution platforms, the ministry can devote far less time to managing sales and far more time to writing, translating, marketing, and reaching people around the world. The focus shifts from selling books to guiding people through a pathway of growth—from Guest to Member to Partner—while using every book, every review, and every testimony to introduce new people to the hope found throughout the ministries of RMI.
Summary
Part 3 — The Blueprint
“All this, I have in writing as a result of the LORD’s hand on me, and He enabled me to understand all the details of His plan.”
With the vision established and the guided journey defined, the final step is building the framework that brings everything together.
Remember, our Encouraging Bookstore renovation isn’t simply about changing a website. It’s about creating a ministry that is easier to maintain, translate, navigate, and ultimately reach more women around the world.
Examples: Living Lessons Book 2 for members and Living Lessons Book 4 for partners.
Single Launch Pages, Book Courses, Shared Reviews, worldwide distribution through Amazon and audiobook platforms, language teams working independently, and a streamlined website structure all work together toward one goal:
Helping every visitor find the hope they’re searching for while allowing our volunteers to spend less time maintaining websites and more time ministering, translating, encouraging, and sharing their testimonies that continue to change lives.
As we begin implementing these blueprints, we’ll undoubtedly make adjustments along the way. But having a clear vision gives us confidence to move forward, trusting that each improvement will help us serve more women, in more languages, for years to come.
Thank you for sharing the Blueprint, I will talk to Him for more understanding and share the links with the other MOMs.
I am not sure about the “Buy Buttons” since I see there is still a button on https://encouragingbookstore.com/llb2/ but here it says “The current “Buy Now” buttons and visible coupon codes need to be removed because access will instead flow naturally through the Book Courses with the natural progress through Guests, Members, and Partners.”
Very appreciated!! One less thing I need to do.
Adina, could you also set up https://encouragingbookstore.com/wott-he-will-give-you-the-desires-of-your-heart-ebook/ with the coupon code? https://encouragingwomen.org/bc/ you’ll see that removing C1 and providing a free ebook, C1 also includes testimonies, so He led me to BOOK 5 and I saw it’s also in ESP. So, Anastasia will need to get her page set up too and the other LNG can decide if they want to ChatGPT translate it.
Let me know OR you can also show me how.
Sorry Erin, I am not getting any notifications from EB, not in my inbox and not in Spam, and my email is verified in my account, but I will have to be more diligent to come back to the posts.
Here is a video on how to create a Coupon Code: https://youtu.be/8WrjpH6xPR8
I did create a code while making the video “WOT52026”
Thank you. It’s helpful to have these on YouTube. Before i got to it, He led me to work with Gemini to create a series of coupon codes and a Buy Now button (which I didn’t know how to do either), for the men’s books to potentially provide ONE Buy Now button that encourages the men to purchase more resources.
Yes, I removed a few PRIOR to Him revealing we will use them WHEN a guest or member doesn’t have access but still wants to read the book. We want to gently GUIDE the guest through becoming a Member and then onto becoming a PARTNER. But it’s not meant to be FORCED and locking anyone out. “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.”
So those that were removed from the English, need to be added back. https://easydigitaldownloads.com/blog/how-to-add-a-buy-now-button-to-wordpress/ when He leads me I’ll do them, unless you want to volunteer to do them or teach everyone so they can do their own https://encouragingwomen.org/category/tll/. There are many pages that still have the DPD buy now button.
Thank you for clarifying Erin, I understand the vision and I will gladly help adding the ENG buttons back and help teach the other ladies to do it for their LNG.
Thank you for putting all of this together. I really like the direction everything is heading!
I do have one question, though. I’m pretty sure I have had a login for EB because I used to help Yvonne on Narrow Road and EB but for some reason my login is no longer working. I tried 3 different emails it could be to try and reset my password. 🤷♀️ I also couldn’t find a registration page anywhere. Can someone add me and create a profile?
You are not listed Hope, so simply register and reach out to Adina to move you to the proper level of access.

Dear Erin,
Thank you so much for mentioning my name and for thinking of me for this opportunity. I was truly touched to know that you and your Husband thought of me.
Thank you as well for sharing such a clear vision for the Encouraging Bookstore. It is exciting to see how our Beloved is simplifying the structure so we can spend less time on maintenance and more time ministering, translating, sharing testimonies, and reaching women around the world.
I already replied to your private message, but I also wanted to confirm here that I would be happy to watch the videos you mentioned and learn more about this vision for marketing. If this is truly the direction our Beloved has prepared for me, it would be both a joy and a privilege to serve Him in this way.
I am praying that He will guide each step, grant wisdom, and clearly reveal how I can contribute in the best way. I know that whenever He calls someone to a work, He is also faithful to equip them for it.
Thank you once again for your trust and encouragement. I look forward to seeing what our Beloved will do as we continue to follow His leading.
With love,
Marta
Martha, Perla can help you with the videos. She was a tremendous help to me with marketing.
Excellent. Now ask Him how do we keep track of who the ePartners are and where the Marketing Progress will be located so we and our partners (members and guest) have a easy visual of the progress being made.
AI A MONTH of VIDEOS
Marta, this is the video that I was looking for that was the most fascinating. So have a look.
And then, WAIT and just spend time talking to Him about HIS PLAN. Get away from all electronics and just let HIM show you things. THESE WERE MEANT AS INSPIRATION NOT AS A PROJECT. If you do anything, it’s so that the two of you have time together. That’s when you can show me the incredible plans to provide videos in order to share THE GOOD NEWS with the women who need HIM desperately. And who better to show you then Himself.
Without a doubt, this is the part of the vision that touched me the most:
“We help every visitor find the hope they are seeking while enabling our volunteers to spend less time maintaining websites and more time ministering, translating, encouraging, and sharing the testimonies that continue to transform lives.”
The thought of being able to spend more time ministering and less time on administrative work truly excites me. I sincerely hope to contribute using the gifts He has given me.
I will continue working on the Be E project so we can complete it as soon as possible.
I’m so excited!!
Be E project? Are we doing the videos or the audiobook? I believed we agreed this was what we’d agreed Blog Post read the comments.
If that’s the case, it’s important we REMOVE the Video Project information. It can be set aside until the audiobooks are done and we are able to offer them through INaudio. LOOK what came into the EBO
That’s right—I was referring only to the **Be E Audiobook** project. I’ve removed the post about the videos.
The email you received from Auphonic was triggered by the work I was doing there while this question came up:
https://encouragingbookstore.com/2026/07/be-e-classic-videos-in-more-languages-summary-potential-cleaner-process/#comment-30749
So, I’m looking for the original **RYM English** audio files to use your voice for reading **”Chapter 1… Chapter 2… Chapter X…”** and use it for the ENG audios, but I can’t find them in Drive. I only see the versions that were already processed with Auphonic. (I don’t want to use 11labs narrating the chapter titles in English, so we can publish it on Audible). Do you happen to still have the original files?
Anastasia, early this morning my husband and I were discussing this project because something didn’t seem quite right. So I was surprised to see your comment.
At this point, we need to PAUSE, Selah, WAIT and rest because HE’S got something VERY IMPORTANT He wants us to hear. I trust he’ll have me post something but in the meantime, you can get away alone without any phones or computers because I’m sure He’s got something incredibly special to talk to you about.
I loved all what you shared, thanks for sharing how He is guiding you, and the great changes up ahead.
I liked this past mostly because,like Anastasia, :
“Helping every visitor find the hope they’re searching for while allowing our volunteers to spend less time maintaining websites and more time ministering, translating, encouraging, and sharing their testimonies that continue to change lives.” it is something that I know I have slowed down in doing, not sharing His greatness through my Testimonies as often as before. But I pray and know He is opening a way for me and for us as a ministry to reach more hearts searching for Him.
Jewel you used a different email address and that’s why it had to be approved first.
