Rated G. (Control what you see)

 If you or someone in your family are:

  • A School PTA/ PTO member
  • In a school band or sports team
  • A member of a church
  • In a youth group
  • On a summer league sports team
  • Part of an animal rescue group
  • Writing a blog
  • Volunteering for a Chairity 

 ...whatever your cause may be, you probably would like to raise money for expenses like uniforms, trip fees, sports or musical equipment, building funds, operating expenses or trophies … but bake sales, raffles, and candy bars can bring in only so much.

 What you need is a Fast, Easy and, in many cases, Free method to generate the cash your cause requires.

 I am about to teach you how to earn money on the Internet using several Free and Easy methods. 

 You will not need to pay a dime to any of the programs I will describe, or to me; nor will you have to join some Multi Level Marketing campaign that pressures you into signing up new members in order to make money.

 

 You will not even have to pay for any advertising, like all the big name websites you are familiar with, because You already have a huge advantage over Those  guys that  I will teach you about in just a minute.    

 

2. A quick bit of Legal advice

  Before you begin this process with your cause, you should be sure that you are legally allowed to work in their name.

 If you want to help one of the big charity causes, just give them money. Those names are closely guarded, since fraud is so very easy to accomplish online. You also need to consider other legalities, such as who will be in charge of the proceeds, what bank account and other information will be used, and who has final say in the type programs you will join and promote.

 

Just make sure you are not in a position to be fired, sued or arrested for your attempt to help a cause. If your group is large enough to have legal counsel, clear it through them before you start following my program in their name.  

 

3. Your Special Advantage

As I said before, you have a huge advantage over the huge websites you read about in magazines and newspapers,  hear about on the TV and Radio and see plastered all over every website on the Web.

That advantage is the relationship you already have with the other members of the group you are trying to raise money for. Your fellow group members, their friends and family already know you, or at least the organization you are trying to help.

They trust you.

 Advertising is all about building relationships, convincing complete strangers to buy a product or service based on their perceptions of the person or company trying to sell them.

 I don't have exact figures, but I'm sure millions of dollars are spent every year to build these perceptions and relationships.

  Your advantage means that you will never have to spend a single dollar for advertising. You and your cause are already known to your target audience, because they are all members just like you, or at least have friends or relatives that are.

 All you need to do is read the rest of this report,  join the Free programs I outline, and show your group members where the programs are located on the web.  

 

4. The free programs.

 The programs I suggest in these lenses all give you free, pre-made and professionally designed websites. They also take care of all the payment processing, delivery and any customer service needed to complete the sale.

 Once you sign up with them, all you have to do is tell your group what web address to visit and cash the commission checks as they come in.

Firstgiving.com helps fundraisers create free person-to-person online fundraising pages for any non-profit registered with Guidestar. It's a great way for fundraisers to connect with their online social network because they can send the link to that page via email or through their blog.
