GypsyOwl Organization Mission Statement

Introduction
We are dedicated to providing small business owners with innovative e-Commerce options that are affordable and accessible to even the smallest business entity. We strive to find quality services at a price that a small business can afford. We promote, educate, implement e-Commerce solutions and negotiate with vendors to give our members corporate competitive pricing on quality products and services.

In other words, We love to help people and find them the best quality at the most affordable cost. When we get a discount for services, we pass them on to the members. The organization is not for profit and has continued to grow without debt. We have Member Angels who see to it.

The SBN is another way to promote your website or your blogs.

One of the founding principles of the organization is to not feature or promote any product or company that doesn't fit into our 'family safe/family friendly' guidelines. Many of our members and visitors rely on this principle as they are home with children or looking on from their office.

Management for Non-Profit Organizations 

Volunteers Are The Workforce

Non-Profit Organizations have an opportunity to create extraordinary changes in the global challenges today. We will always have for-profit commerce, and governmental resources; What non-profit can do is balance them out.

Where government and/or for-profit business leaves off, non-profit can fill in the gaps. In theory, a non-profit can set the bar for the other organizations to follow. Non-profit does not seek to challenge other entities, it will focus on what is lacking in the system and seek to improve the world that we live in.

Some very good reading on the topic of non-profit leadership, management, and organizational concepts can be found in the following books.

Membership Cost - Member's Contribution to Pages 

The SBN is CLOSING ... I WiLL Update the following information ASAP

The SBN is Closing and Transforming into a FREE Community on Ning. The tools are easy to use and will allow each member the ability to get much more out of the networking experience. Since the service is free, membership is free as well.

Current members will continue to have advertising (as previously outlined) on the SBN site for the previously agreed upon duration (December 31, 2009). Current members are encouraged to try out the free site as well during the phase out to gain valuable connections with other business owners.

Join Today Remote Workforce Management

Membership is tax deductible as an Association Dues expense. The SBN has not yet acquired non-profit status and does not give tax advice. In general when a business pays for an association membership that will promote their business, they are allowed to deduct the expense.

Consult your tax advisor before you assume that you are eligible for this deduction.

  1. Membership includes a Member Page.

    A Member Page includes two modules. An introduction module and a text/write type module. The introduction module is often included in news flashes or featured on the Home Page or other promotional.

    Members are responsible for the content that is in the modules. Text / Write type modules may be edited by the member who created them as many times as they would like. This is a great way to update seasonal information or to add, edit, or remove hyperlink details. Introduction modules are always accessible in edit, but we ask as a courtesy that any editing needs to this part of the Member Page is preceded with a note to the administrator. Primarily because that is the part of the page that is included in other site sections and changes may change the layouts of the promotional presentations.

    The modules do have graphic capabilities (linking from your hosted images), and will allow simple HTML. The editor is capable of creating tables and basic functions such as centering text and images without html. The html source editor that is used in the modules is Tiny_MCE so advanced users will have a lot of options when creating content.

  2. PHASE OUT The SBN is no longer accepting memberships. Please visit GypsyOwl Marketing Members Community or Remote Workforce Management and sign up FREE. You are welcome to join both communities and set up your page to promote your business. Join or create groups, and much more.

    Affordable Hosting Services, Value added applications, easy installation of Forum, CMS, Blogger, or other software that is included with hosting packages

    For More Information about hosting go to the GypsyOwl Commerce Hosting Services Lens
  3. Additional Services - Members & Non-Members

    The SBN has an account with a reliable and affordable hosting service. The service has provided the SBN with a portal that will outline the options. These services have costs NOT included in Membership enrollment.

    To name a few: Hosting - Quick to Build websites - Optional software , that is free but not as easy to use for beginners - however worth learning for optimization of the site - Domain registrations and security certificates - and with every Hosting Service purchase there are numerous FREE add on options available.

  4. The New Marketing Members Network is a free networking community that is open to members and non-members of the Small Business Network. Feel free to self promote, share your websites, promotions, and mingle with other business people.

    Registration is free.

    GypsyOwl Marketing Members Network

You are Not a Small Business? - No Problem! 

Large companies have taken notice of our network and want to join.

Large companies are welcome with an additional contribution. This is negotiated individually with each company.

For Example:
A Large company may offer an affiliate program which will increase annual contributions based on performance. This is an acceptable way to help the SBN with expenses and the Branding is good for our search results as well.

We are not soliciting large business, and have even turned down many inquiries because the nature of the company did not 'fit' well with the community.



As already mentioned above:
One of the founding principles of the organization is to not feature or promote any product or company that doesn't fit into our 'family safe/family friendly' guidelines. Many of our members and visitors rely on this principle as they are home with children or looking on from their office.
