Essential/Non Essential Plan Elements
Essential Elements
Plan Title
In 50 characters or less, create a title that accurately reflects your Plan content and hooks your audience. Please follow the most common title guidelines for your language. For English Plans, titles should be capitalized according to AP Style.
Plan Description
Help our Community understand what your Plan is about by describing it in 70 words or less. Explain what’s in your Plan and how someone can expect to grow by completing it—don’t advertise or include calls to action.
Partner URL
People can learn more about you or your organization by tapping a link to your website. This link will appear in the Publisher section where we thank you for providing the Plan. You must provide this link when you submit your content.
Bible References
Scripture is central to YouVersion’s mission, and it is central to Bible Plans. Every Plan day must be built around at least one Bible verse or passage. Take the time to intentionally pick out several verses that are relevant to your Plan’s topic, and create Plan days centered on those passages.
Main Plan Pages
Bible Plan images provide visual appeal and help people decide what content they want to view next. You’ll need to provide two images for your Plan: a 1440x810 pixel banner image and a 320x320 pixel icon.
Because we serve a global Community, we ask that you submit images that a diverse audience can easily understand. While you can use your ministry’s original artwork, please avoid promotional images and book covers that might distract someone from your Plan content.
Optional Elements
Video or Audio
You can include video or audio in your Bible Plan if it helps someone connect your devotional content to Scripture.
Video and audio files should be high-quality, without grain/pixelation with the maximum resolution being 1080p. These files should also be free of advertisements and product placements from any brand.
Plan Day Images
Images can be included in the Plan day if they enhance your content, but they must be free from advertising, website links, or other distracting elements. You must upload your image to the Partner Portal during the submission process.
Narrated Audio
Narrated Audio gives our readers the ability to have the written content of your Bible Plans read to them. To include this component, the audio file you submit must be a professional, undistorted, word-for-word narration of your devotional content.
Call To Action (CTA)
A link to your ministry will already be in your Plan’s “Publisher” section, so please only feature one CTA when necessary, and always place it at the end of your Plan. You can pick from one of these CTA options for your last Plan day:
- Was this Plan helpful? We adapted this Plan from {another resource}.
- Want more content like this? Connect with {Your Ministry or Name}.
- Learn More about {Your Ministry or Name}.
- Explore Other Resources from {Your Ministry or Name}.
- Did this Plan encourage you? We’d love to get to know you better. Connect with {Your Ministry or Name}.
