Viveca,
I've never heard of Goodsearch either so I'm grateful for the information.
You asked about inexpensive fundraising ideas. I got involved with this through another Ryze member, Scott Allen, who has the Virtual Handshake Network. I finally got into it and am glad I did. It is not only a good way for an individual to make passive income but also for an organization.
Hang in with me here because there is NO investment--ZERO! The only thing I bought, my choice, were business cards that I hand out.
How it the name of the Non-profit would sign up through me and then all their members would also get their on online mall to shop at. Then it' just a matter of doing your regular shopping but do it through your own mall because each store pays a commission for you to shop there because you've saved them advertising money.
There is NO investment required---now or EVER!! Everything is explained clearly on the video. If you sign up and do not give away other malls (such as what I"m doing here) then this is not for you. And it's not in the QUANTITY that you give away but in the QUALITY of people---you want SHOPPERS. The only way you (or the non-profit) make money is when they, and you, shop. The model is very different than anything you've seen before. The founder, Ginny, has taken the best of MLM (but it's NOT MLM) and the best of AFFILIATE MARKETING (but it's NOT affiliate marketing) and combined them along with a way to help others along the way. It's really genius!
By giving away malls you have saved the stores advertising money and they REPAY you with a commission for each sale made by you or under you. Initially you won't see much coming in. I got my first check in 3 months but really it's will be about 6 months before I have a steady income from it that will be over $1,000. That's just from giving the mall away and having people shop! But the more I give away, and the more people shop, the larger that amount becomes!
You can buy anything that you normally would purchase---clothing, toiletries, groceries, gasoline, hotels, airlines, insurance, computers, games, etc---pay the same or LESS (it's typically less) than if you went to the store yourself, or went directly to their online store. The difference? You go through your own shopping mall (you get a website--FREE) place the order, save money, and MAKE money on your commission. Now that commission check isn't a lot of money but multiply that with a 100 people shopping and you have an incredible passive income!
There's no selling--because you're giving it away! There's nothing to purchase from MPM--just SHOP like always. There are over 1,100 stores--including all the ones we all typically shop at regularly.
As an example, I've bought a couple of large ticket items through my mall. I rented a large SUV to bring a student and belongings up to college. I called locally got prices then went through my mall and found all the regulars--Hertz, Avis, Budget, etc. In using my mall I SAVED $20 at Budget AND got a check back! I then bought a new computer. I did all the specs that I wanted locally so I knew what I was looking for when I placed my order. Again tons of stores that sell computers through your mall. I found two places that had very good prices--Circuit City and Buy.com. I saved $50 on my order through Buy.com and will be getting a commission check back too!
Every day there are new specials listed on your mall. Earlier in the week there was a special on restaurant gift certificates. So I went to check out if there might be any restaurants in my area----there were a lot--many that I hadn't tried and some that were my old regulars. Normally the gift certificates are you pay $10 for a $25 gift certificate (great, huh?) but with this special all I paid was $5 and got $25 gift certificates! I bought gift certificates for all my family for Christmas! Even those who lived in other states! I have a niece who lives in Florida and I just plugged in her zip code and got a list of the area restaurants that were participating and picked one! It was easy!
My niece in Florida is getting married in the spring. I will book my flight, hotel, and rental car through my mall and will end up SAVING money and EARNING money! I'll also get myself some restaurant certificates in her area to enjoy while I'm there!
And I don't have to buy anything 'extra' at all---just think how much money we all spend on gasoline and groceries!
The only 'investment' I've made so far is to purchase business cards. Did that through Vista Prints on my mall! 250 cards were free, I just had to pay shipping. So I guess I do have to say I've invested $5.45. The other investment? Just a little bit of time to place ads on free sites. I haven't paid for an ad yet but I told myself once I start seeing over $1,000 a month coming in then I would start paying for advertising. But there's no requirement to do so.
I hand out my business cards to wait staff, grocery clerks, at business meetings, on store bulletin boards, the person who pumps my gas, and will put one in every Christmas card! It's not something you have to 'sell'---the video explains it 100%--you just need to get people to watch the video. The program is GENIUS! I spent my first few days walking around saying that's just an AMAZING concept & kicking myself for not thinking of it!
And, there is more support in this company that cost me NOTHING than in others that I did pay for. There are daily training lessons filled with helpful hints, places to advertise etc. And there are daily giveaways. Every day Ginny gives away money. She randomly picks someone's mall. If they have shopped at their mall within the last 30 days then they get the whole dollar amount--right now it's $480. If they haven't shopped they get a $10 gift certificate to shop. Then the pot of give away money increases DAILY. It's a great incentive to get everyone buying.
Do take a look at the video. If you watch it it answers any other questions you may have. You may also contact me. I've got a great group of first line folks. And they have got folks and so do they. And I continue to build my first line group, which only increases the money I make each month.
By the way, I have a woman in the military who joined in my first line folks and within 14 days she had 38 people in her group!!!!
So, do you know people who shop online? Do you think THEY know people? Willing to post a flyer, get business cards, or place free ads? It's just an investment of some time. Would love to sponsor a non profit that my heart is so tied to!
