According to a year-old study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, the “online faithful” are devout and they use the Internet for personal spiritual matters more than for traditional religious functions or work related to their places of worship.
As previously reported, this trend represents an opportunity for spiritual entrepreneurs to create pay-for-access membership websites.
One of the most recent entries into this field is Daily Word, which has been published in hard copy format for more than 80 years. The monthly magazine of inspirational messages is distributed to about one million people in 175 countries. Now some of its content is available online.
Daily spiritual inspiration and practical help through positive affirmations, inspirational stories, Bible verses, and guiding thoughts. No matter what faith you are, Daily Word is designed to support you on your spiritual path.
