Fundraising Product -- Raise Funds While You
Sleep
I know that I've covered the affinity fundraising program
concept in the previous issue. However, I think it's of
enough importance to really drive home the enormous fund-
raising potential that this easy product offers. Really!
Don't miss this fundraiser.
For starters, it's free to sign-up. You can't go wrong with
that. The company offering this fundraiser gives you a free
website where all of your supporters can go and buy right from
your newly created site. There are no set up fees. Your
sales are automatically tracked for you.
You have access to a fully functional reporting section of
your website. You can see what is happening to the sales
you are making and where you should target your efforts.
You begin earning 6% to 10% commissions from sales on all
services bought by your supporters. Your organization can
also earn sales bonuses each month.
If you sign up any of your supporters as an agent,...where
they also get their own free website....you earn overide
commissions on all of their efforts.
I shouldn't have to say it, but to allay any fears that you
may have, let me state that this is completely legal and is
not a pyramid scheme. There are United Way Agencies and
major colleges and universities utilizing this exact same
program to generate tens of thousands.
As your affiliate organization grows you get bonuses of $50
for each Qualified Representative that you recruit. This is
where you start to earn big profits....all while you sleep...
month after month...all year long...and for years to come.
Don't delay.
Get started now at BestTalkPlan.com and click on the
Affinity Bronze Package.
On a final note. If you are an individual looking to bring
in a few extra dollars each month, BestTalkPlan.com also has a
Free home business opportunity.
I've finally taken the plunge. After looking extensively
across the web and comparing many companies that deal with
credit card processing, I've finally found a company that
meets my tough criteria of being low costing and bring in
the maximum return for my money.
I've settled with Charge.com. They just happen to have
75,000 merchants who have already applied to accept credit
cards with them.
They are also the #1 credit card merchant account provider
on the Internet now in their seventh year on the internet.
You would do well to check them out for your organization.
Don't lose another donation because your nonprofit doesn't
take credit cards or process checks from the internet.
Here are some of the benefits for using Charge.com
* No Application Fee or setup fee!
* Fast Approvals -- 98% approval rate
* Real-Time Processing
* Free Shopping Cart
* PC and Mac Software
* Free Shipping
* Free Technical Support
* Free Checks by Web, Phone, and Fax Software
Their discount rates are among the lowest in the industry,
They begin at only 1.65% for retail (face to face) merchants
up to 2.35% for mail order and Internet merchants.
Why consider placing Charge.com on your website? Well, for
one thing, you can sell anything that you wish.
Say you had some leftover fundraising products or items in
your silent auction that didn't sell. Well, you can place
these items in your newsletter and direct traffic to your
website where someone can purchase them online from your own
shopping cart (that you get free).
Or allow your supporters to call your 800# and give you their
credit card number which you then go and input through your
Charge.com system.
Then there is the ability to accept checks by phone, fax or
mail. They give your this system Free. Normally, it costs
$300 -- $500 to get this ability.
Profit Quests is a referral partner with Charge.com so your
purchase will help us keep Profit Quests rolling with many
free fundraising ideas and resources. Mention us as the one
that referred you to them. Thanks in advance.
Book Review - The Fundraising Guide for
Chairpersons:
Seven Steps to Coordinating Non-Profit and Church
Organizations Fund-Raising Events
At 116 pages, author Ron Urbanczyk has put everything that
you could need into this handy helpful book for coordinating
your next event. This book is very affordable too.
Many of us in the nonprofit sector will one day conduct that
special event to raise funds and awareness among the public
sector. Why should we waste our precious time by trying to
figure the entire event ourselves. This book lays it all
right out for you.
You'll learn about planning, organizing, marketing,
developing, marketing, running, measuring and assessing your
event. Urbanczyk uses a step-by-step approach to guiding
you through the process.
If you are an event Chair then you need this insightful
book of applicable strategies.
If you are a staff member or nonprofit executive, you owe it
to your volunteer Chair to make him or her as successful as
possible. (Hint: if they are successful and enjoy doing it
this year, they will probably do it again next year saving
you valuable recruiting time.)
