Your Second Blog Carnival Of Christian Family Information Exchange For January Is Ready For Viewing

This posting is once again a 'first', for it is the first time we are publishing a second carnival in one month! Providing that the number of posts stay as high as they are now or even get higher, we will be doing at least two releases each month so that you have more information at your finger tips than ever before!

I want to brag a bit and tell you that today is my wife's and my twenty-second (22) wedding anniversary! Yes in our 'use it' and then 'throw it away' world, somehow my wife has been able to cope with me for so many years.   For those folks who constantly ask anyone who has been married for five or ten years, what is their secret; I will say that the secret to our long and happy marriage is to remain best friends and to never take advantage of each others trust and/or respect! I seriously do and want to continue spending more time with my wife than with anyone else!  My wife claims the same. I wish I had more money so that I could spend a bunch of it on my wife and whatever she wanted. However, because that isn't the case, I will do my best with what I do have.  Lastly, if any of you want to wish us well go ahead and purchase that ebook from our stock that you have been thinking about and that will be the very best anniversary present we ever received! hint-hint :)

All kidding aside, I have been concerned that 'something' somewhere is not right with regards to the fact that we aren't receiving as many sales as we should be based on the percentages. Not just because our products are 'to die for' but rather seriously we track the number of vistors to our salespages verses the number of sales from that traffic and something isn't right! We are recieving the same numbers of interested customers as always ( 3000 to 6000 each month ) and we used to have about ten percent of those interested customers actually purchase our products.   However lately, that number is much less that our normal.    I inform you of all this so that you can help me figure out what's wrong.   If you personally have been considering some of our products but haven't purchased yet, please write and tell me why and also tell me what I have to do to make it worthwhile to do so now rather than later. Unfortunately small businesses like ours need a constant flow of income or they 'dry up' and blow away very easily!   

If you know of any reasons why others may not be buying, please also pass that info on to me. I have examined all the details. Our prices are actually lower now than ever before, because of the poor economy. Our selection is the best it has been for a long time. Lastly, we have made the buying process easy and fast, as well as making it the fastest ever in receiving your new purchases! So barring those facts, please help me figure out why more aren't buying and some possible .   Please send me a note to Director@olinepublishing.com .

So now then here is your last Blog Carnival of Christian Family Information Exchange for January 2012. Please enjoy and do pass it on to others who would enjoy it as well. God bless!
