I’m considering a few ideas for how I want FAYTH.org to continue beyond a blog.

I obviously have a huge obsession with Bible Journaling, Journaling in general, and the topic of faith. From the Bible to even beyond the Bible.

I had a few ideas:

Etsy Shop

• Physical

  • Bibles / Potentially Painted or Customized

  • Bible Journaling Supplies

    • Tabs

    • Stickers

    • Highlighters / Pens / Pencils / Cases to Hold

    • Scripture Cases

  • Devotionals

  • Kids Products (homeschooling or Bible ABCs, or Bible basics)

  • Christian Art (Physical or Digital)

• Digital → Think this is probably a better route

  • iPad Bible Journals

    • iPad Bible (LINKED)

  • iPad Bible Journaling Supplies

    • iPad Stickers

    • iPad Customizable Bible Covers

  • iPad Supplies

    • iPad Covers (Christian Verses)

    • iPad Paper Covers

    • iPencil Covers

    • Bluetooth Keyboards

  • Digital Christian Art (SVGs to download)

    • Could also download them to make tshirts

App

• Digital Bible Art Journaling iPad App

  • I really love this idea, but it’ll also be a TON of work to do …

Design Life Well

• Helping people craft their futures on purpose, using the tools of Design Thinking

• I’m not sure if this has anything to do with faith at all, except for providing affirmations and mindfulness meditations, so I think I just need to be a bit more practical about this here

Exploring a generalist faith channel
I’d explore discussing topics generally, which would possibly involve my face or other graphics.

• Discuss topics of faith in general

  • Christianity

    • Deconstruction, reconstruction, sects, cults, what makes sense and what doesn’t

    • Progressive, word of faith, prosperity teaching

  • New Thought + New Age + Wellness Movements

    • ACIM, new age books, gurus, wellness connections

    • Darker arts / witchcraft type stuff

  • 12 Step Programs

    • The connection to higher power

    • What God says about alcoholism, drug use, being an upstanding citizen

  • My Testimony

  • Bible Journaling

    • Physical journaling methods

    • Digital journaling methods

Exploring a specific channel for Journaling (Ex: MuseBible, DesignLifeWell, FaythOrg)
In this case, create content that links just to Etsy shop and online store. NO face.
100% of the content is just surrounding the products themselves, and nothing else.
The thing I’ve seen is that it’s probably best to niche down for YouTube → Etsy or online shop. Because FAYTH is more general, I’m not sure it really makes sense here. Unless I really focus on doing it for the App or for Bible Journaling (Etsy shop) specifically. So I need to really consider that here.

  • Generalist Journaling Route

    • Same as above PLUS:

    • Various 2023 Planners (reference what others are doing)

    • I could also include freelancer contracts

Wants / Desires

• Stay digital

• Eco-friendly

• Not use my face

• Uses my skills

• Have a lot of material to share

• Very easy to upkeep

• Uses my design skills

Assuming I stay with these, the digital route seems best. Especially journaling, as I wouldn’t need to use my face.

So here are the final ideas, broken down:

Bible Journaling

PROS:

• iPad specific

• Niche specific

• Probably the easiest to upkeep, as Bibles don’t really change that much over time

• There’s a consistent understanding of those who follow the Bible

CONS:

• Not a lot to sell on there

• Some competition already

• Apps change and I need to adjust for that

• If it’s just for Bible freaks, that eliminates all other faiths

Generalist Journaling

PROS:

• iPad specific

• Niche specific

• Lots to sell

• It doesn’t JUST need to be about Bible journaling and can include other things too

CONS:

• Lots of competition already

• Apps change and I’d need to adjust for that

Bible Journaling App

PROS:

• iPad specific

• Never been done before like I want it to be done

CONS:

• Very expensive to make

• Very hard to sell

• Hard to get Bibles that are have copyright laws

@FaythOrg

PROS:

• Connected to my testimony

• Short and sweet

• Is more general, I can talk about more than just the Bible only, as long as it’s related to faith

CONS:

• Not the easiest to explain verbally, that’s “faith.org with a y”

@MuseBible

PROS:

• Great to understand Bible Journaling

• Really specific for the Bible

CONS:

• Muse relates to the Greek goddesses, and considering these are Christians, I don’t want that reference upon my head

• If I talk about anything beyond the Bible, like other faiths, this isn’t great. So it would need to be really Bible specific.
