How does Our Affiliate Program Work?

Let’s share the love! I’ve received lots of email from women wanting to understand and wondering how the affiliate program works, so let me share with you a bit of how it works.

It’s an easy and quick way to earn some extra income by doing what you are already doing... spreading the word on facebook, twitter and any of your other social networks. If you receive different newsletters or blog or even on facebook, I’m sure that you have noticed the word "affiliate" in several different circles. And it's no wonder... Programs of this type are all the rage these days.

What it boils down to is women helping women. :) We want to thank you and let you know that we appreciate your help in spreading the word around about Women of Passionate Purpose. We want to thank you with more than just words, with a bit of a financial boost for doing so!

Let me give you a tip on how to do this and how it works. (I’ve been learning so much about all of this online stuff and it’s amazing, I want to share it with you!) First of all, I would only promote a product or service of someone that you believe in… I know this goes without saying, but I want to say it anyway and really want to be real with you, keeping your integrity intact and do this the right way.
OK, so the tip on how all of this works… an "affiliate" is someone who earns a commission for endorsing and promoting our (and other peoples) products or services. This is actually how some women make their living! It’s fascinating! Some online entrepreneurs make 6 figures this way. They don't have their own products or offer any service—all they do is promote others who do. It's an honest way to bring in extra income, and in many cases, a substantial full-time living if you know how to do it.

And that's we want to let you know about Women of Passionate Purpose (WPPI) and our Affiliate Program. Our affiliates trust the quality of WPPI services and products. Many were already my clients, and were already spreading the word around. They just decided to start earning commissions on every sale. And now, it's your turn...

I'd like to invite YOU to join our WPPI Affiliate Program. It's absolutely free to join, so even if you just want to test the waters, you've got nothing to lose—and only commissions to gain!

Every time someone in your community downloads our product or service with your affiliate link, you'll earn 35% in commissions.

To start earning commission right away, create your very own personalized affiliate link for free by going to this link and sharing the love! Click here and fill out your information, get your very own personal promotion link and start sharing the love! Also, because you all were emailing with such great questions there is more detailed information at that link now.

Sharing the love,

Your WPPI Team!

our Group Coaching sessions.


This has awakened in me a new perspective filled with hope and adventure. I was truly blessed by this session. I will be working on my 2 pictures Monday afternoon & Tuesday afternoon of next week. However, I believe this assignment could be addicting enough to proceed before then. I loved it!! Thank you so much sweet Kathryn Rich Bonner for all of your time you have shared to enrich all of us!!! God bless you and refresh you in abundance as you have refreshed ♥

I finally got to listen to the call...thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved everyone's stories and hearing how they all approached the picture from very different places. I did the exercises as well before I listened to theirs and mine was totally different as well. This is so helpful Kathryn.
~ Cindie Thomas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cannot begin to explain the impact "Ignite the Writer Within" Private Group Coaching with Kathryn Bonner has had on my LIFE!!! First, I "wasn't a writer, I'm a speaker", well, as they say, if you speak, you write! This conference has literally transformed my calling! These ladies know what they teach. It has been through their encouragement and commitment that my ministry was launched. In fact, I have started my own writer's group and it has encouraged and strengthened other writers. These women are living their legacy. Definitely a "must do"!!
~Julie Cardoze-Cortelezzi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being part of the Ignite The Writer Within Private Coaching Circle with Kathryn Bonner is an AMAZING experience! I have had an abundance of ideas to write about but I wasn't able to focus on one subject and actually get started. Everything changed for me within 15 minutes of the first session! The support and encouragement from Kathryn and from each of the participants in the group conquered any fears that I had...they simply vanished. I will forever be grateful to you Kathryn...you have blessed my heart and my life! Love, Bette
~ Bette Hamby

I am one lucky person. One night I was cruising through my facebook page and I saw where Kathryn Bonner was going to teach a writing class. The thing that intrigued me most was the fact that I could take this writing class right in my own office with my pajamas on. Glory be!! Talk about fate dropping in my lap. I loved the class. Smart women teach the class and have organized a notebook with all the prompts and suggestions in it. It is an action book that I will use for years to come. Let's say you are stuck on your writing. Just turn in your action book and do the activities and just like magic your problem is solved. Say the old gremlin is pestering you today and telling you that you are unworthy and can't write. Who do you think you are, the gremlin asks? Again, turn in your action book and get immediate help.

But the BEST surprise of all is when Kathryn offered the separate Group Coaching. What a blessing that was. She gives individual help that encourages and supports each one in the Private Group Coaching. It's better than anything I have ever experienced. Not only is she an instant friend, she prays you through your road blocks. I loved the coaching and would recommend it to anyone who needs a nudge in your writing and calling from God.

~ Marilyn Davis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me start by saying that being part of the Ignite the Writer Within course itself has been an amazing journey for me that has been filled with so many wonderful doors opening in my mind and in my heart! Being part of the Ignite The Writer Within Private Group Coaching Circle with Kathryn Bonner has helped to build the confidence I have in myself as a writer. I no longer tell people that I'd like to aspire to writing, but that I AM a writer. Being part of this Group Coaching Circle allows one to share a part of themselves without fear of harsh criticism or indifference has made a big impact on my willingness to take chances with my writing. The results of both the class and the reinforcement of the Private Group Coaching Circle have been - for me - nothing less than life-changing. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity, and to have been able to meet these amazing, Godly women whom I hope to know and keep in contact with for years to come!
~Timber Cypret
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am blessed that I was able to take part in the Ignite the Writer and Private Group Coaching Circle with Kathryn Bonner. The writing curriculum was a huge blessing as I worked through the exercises and participated in the online discussions. I have felt God's call on my life to write for many years and this group has given me the confidence to take bold leaps of faith.
The Coaching has been a huge blessing as the discussions are always so helpful and very thought provoking. I have written 4 chapters for my book and have recently begun working on Bible Study curriculum as well. Thank you Kathryn and all of the women who were a part of this wonderful experience.

Whatever your present circumstances in life, this book will inspire, encourage, motivate, and empower.”

Be Inspired to Succeed and Transform Your Life

This New Book Shows How You Can Too

Whether we acknowledge it or not, the way we determine success greatly impacts our lives, according to the newly published book Inspired Women Succeed authors Diane Cunningham and Jo Ann Fore. The founder of Hopelyn International Network is featured as one of the inspirational stories in this book.

Dr Hopelyn shares in this book, “My career with a prestigious life insurance company in Jamaica came to a halt and I found myself at a place of immense depression. Suddenly helpless and hopeless. The doctors diagnosed me as “suffering from anxiety.” How did I get here? During those six months of desolation, I listened to God. I could hear him saying, “It is time to make a change – let go.”

How can God ask me to let go something I loved so much and was finally successful at? How could I make this shift?”

When you are inspired you gain HOPE… Hope to Succeed… You are reminded of how unique and irreplaceable you are, no matter the circumstances in your life. This is the HOPE you now have!

You have Help, Optimism, Perseverance, and Emmanuel.

Help from those Father has placed along you as you travel this journey of life. Who are the people that have had a lasting and positive impact throughout your life? Your Best Friend? Your Mentor? Your Accountability Partner? Your Role Model?

These individuals are in your life for a reason. They are there to encourage, motivate, offer wisdom, unconditional love, and impact your life in a dynamic way.

Optimism leads to opportunity. The opportunity to develop your spiritual habits and discover the gifts, talents and skills. When was the last time you did a check and balance of your life roles? Are they in rhythm with who you say you are?

Do you know who you are, what are your values? Have you explored your strengths to counteract your weaknesses? It’s time to take the steps to move from mediocrity to opportunity, and this can be done with the help of a skilled guide to coach you through the process.

Perseverance allows you to persist through the rough paths of the journey, or times when you reach a plateau. Yes, when surrounded by our family, friends, mentors, and role models, we discard everything that hinders and the sin that so easily keep us confused. Its time to run with perseverance the race marked specifically for us.

Emmanuel “God with us.” He is there with you always. He remains quiet until you evoke the voice of God within. When you desire to hear from Him, his spirit will awaken. “Behold I stand at the door and knock.”

Dismissing Your gremlin (with a lower-case g!)

If you’re a writer or an artist, you’re probably also have a “gremlin,” a voice, either loud or hushed, who keeps you from doing what God has called you to do. Every creative soul I know has one! If yours is a talker, the good news is that you can duct tape his mouth. If yours is the quiet, insidious kind, you can kick him out of your space because your God is a Mighty Awesome God! Our gremlins show up in all kinds of interesting shapes. Here are a few you might recognize:

* Procrastination. I’ll organize my kid’s sock drawer if a deadline is looming! Get a great book like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and pick a short exercise. Put it on your calendar and ask a friend to hold you accountable.

* Feeling Blank. Believing that you don’t have anything interesting to express is simply not true. You DO have something valid to share.

* Overwhelm. If you think you’ve got too much on your plate, you probably do. Consider letting go of some things, and placing your art higher up on your list.

* Plain Jane Lies. We’re human so we know that negative thoughts enter our minds. Among other things, I often hear, “That paragraph is no good.” “No one will want to read that nonsense?” Ask God to help you recognize negative thought patterns and for every frankly rude comment, write two or more nice things to yourself. “That’s wonderful work!” “Great job of showing up at the page today!”

As Christian women, we need to invite God into our work. With Him, all things are possible! If, as you’re writing, your gremlin sneaks out of the closet, you can choose to simply take notice and dismiss him. I like to say, “Hello. You are not needed here today. Don’t make me get the duct tape. Good-bye!” Focus on the beauty and blessings God has laid before you in the moment, and watch your creativity come out to play!

Are you COMMITTING to your DREAMS or are you giving up on your DREAMS?

It’s one or the other…

Find out what you want and go after it as if your life depends on it. Why? Because it does! ~ Les Brown

We know that we should quit doing the things that cause us to procrastinate, or keep us from doing the things that really matter, but when you when you give up on your dreams and passions you really are giving up on your life, giving up on yourself. There comes a time in your life when you need to stop dreaming about who you want to be and start becoming that person! We want to help you do just that!! It’s really exhilarating too! I am going to ask you to do something right now, no matter where you are, even if people are around you and will think you are a bit nuts, I want you to do it anyway! OK, you ready? I want you to say it out loud with enthusiasm “I am going to start living and being the person I know I am supposed to be! I am no longer going to let my God-given dreams fall by the wayside!!” And say this out loud too… “I am a Spiritwalker! I am fueled and ignited by the power of the Holy Spirit that lives and dwells within me!”

Here’s the question… Have you had your dream of writing your first book, or another book circling around in your head for a long time that it seems as if it may have just circled right out of you? Well, now is your chance to circle back around and remember the dream! Take a moment right now to remember the dream, blow the dust off of it, let is start to shine once more, let it begin to take new life, let it become ignited within you again! Now is the perfect time to commit to living your life with passion and purpose!

“…a Great Door for effective work has been opened to me, but there are many who oppose.” 1 Corinthians 16:9

There are two parts to this piece of Scripture and they sort of oppose each other… just take a look at what is here… If God has given you ideas for your writing, this is a GREAT DOOR for you to step through! This is no small miniscule door here; it’s a GREAT DOOR with which you will have EFFECTIVE WORK to do!

Think about work that is effective – that is work that is useful, valuable, beneficial to others, this is what you are born for! Step through your God-given door to write!

Now let’s look at the second part of this verse. What is your opposition? Is it yourself, your own negative self-talk that has been keeping you from committing? Are you listening to pessimistic people?

You know, there are people around you that don’t like to see others live out their dreams, sad but true. These people are peppered all through the Scriptures and all through your life.

People who don’t run after their dreams with passion are prone to discourage and criticize people who are. Don’t let them or any other kind of opposition stop you from stepping through the GREAT DOOR FOR EFFECTIVE WORK that God has opened to YOU!

Maybe you are not sure how to obtain or start Igniting the Writer Within You?

That is where my desire is to aid you along the writers’ path. All of the women here at Women of Passionate Purpose are truly Passionate about you living out your life with the ability to BE BRAVE with your life! Step out into the IMPOSSIBLE where God makes it POSSIBLE!! Walk with us into this powerful and sacred space! Do not let fear stop you from committing to the most amazing parts of yourself! Weather you have a mystery, a history, lyrics waiting to be written then angelically sung, a fiction, a non-fiction, a devotional, a study, a self help book, a blog, or an article matters not! Just say YES! We will take it from there!!


Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. ~ Langston Hughes

THE WAYS WE LEARN
There are three classes of people in the world.
The first LEARN FROM THEIR OWN EXPERINECE – these are the WISE;
The second LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS – these are HAPPY;
The third NEITHER FROM THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE NOR THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS – these are FOOLS.

Creating the Perfect Sacred Space

Do you have a sacred space where the stirrings of your soul can move through you onto the page? Our sacred writing spaces are like little homes to our inner writers, sanctuaries for our souls. Their whispers dance within us and swirl around us like angels as we pen the stories that God wants us to tell. Your writing space can be majestic and towering, like a gorgeous guest house in the hill country, or simple and basic, like a porch swing in your back yard… a corner chair next to books and soft light, or a bean bag near a window where you can hear birds singing. You can turn your home office into your sacred writing space by de-cluttering and organizing, adding a beautiful plant or cross, a painting that inspires you, a picture of you with your favorite people. What makes your heart sing? What opens your soul to create a direct connection to the Great Author?

Take a few moments to follow God’s direction: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). In your quiet time with your loving Creator, ask Him how to set up your sacred space to best create for His glory!
