You'll discover science-backed ways to get more funding for your nonprofit. These are breakthrough marketing strategies that are easy to implement and just plain work. They are psychological tricks that you can use to raise more money from your existing donors (or new ones). I have to be honest with you though. Having been an online marketer for eight years, I've come into contact with these principles many times.In fact, I'd go so far as to say that most successful nonprofits and established companies use these tactics. It's because they're proven to work to raise more funds. However, they aren't introduced to the millions of nonprofits throughout the world. You have to operate in the dark and you're left wondering how to make ends meet at the end of the month. That's not fair! Mark my words, some of them will boggle your mind. When you begin to act on the advice, you'll start to see results that not only affect your bottom line, but also give you the power to help more people.At the end of the day, that's all that matters, isn't it? The people you're helping. The way you're impacting the world for the positive. This fundraising guff isn't all that fun or exciting. What's more, you spend so much of your time doing it. That's why I wanted to put together a paint by numbers formula for handling this area of your operations, once and for all. Once you harness this linchpin skill, you won't ever have to worry about how you'll pay next month's bills.Instead of struggling to stay afloat, you'll have a rock-solid fundraising plan in place, and be able to live an empowered life. If you're fed up with seeing the big-boys cash in on fundraising, and annoyed that there isn't better training out there for nonprofit leaders, like you, then this is the book for you. I want to bring some of these effective for-profit marketing techniques to the nonprofit world so that you can impact more people at a fraction of the cost. As you know, that's the name of the game. The more you know, the easier it will be for you to navigate this changing terrain. |

| can i use gofundme for my business: Kickstarter Launch Formula Salvador Briggman, 2017-01-13 If you're looking for a step-by-step launch framework for your upcoming Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign, this is the handbook for you! I'll teach you how to use crowdfunding to raise money online and bring your project to life. You see, we're at the beginning of a movement as transformative as the industrial revolution. Never before in history have authors, musicians, artists, and film producers been able to connect with massive online audiences and get funding for their creative work. The outdated media gatekeepers are quickly disappearing. You can now get funding directly from your fans and distribute your content online. If you're a creative type, this is the BEST time to be alive. But, it doesn't stop there. This major change has also given rise to six and seven-figure online businesses. As a fellow entrepreneur, I know that one of the most common excuses for not quitting your job and launching that startup company is because you don't have the money. Now, in a few short weeks, you can have all of the capital you need to launch and grow a thriving ecommerce business. It's no longer a crazy idea to pursue your passion. In fact, more and more millennials are doing just that. I should know, I'm one of them! When I first started blogging about Kickstarter in 2012, I had no idea that crowdfunding would become a multi-billion-dollar industry. I was just a Junior in college, writing a mini-thesis on how different variables affected fundraising success on Kickstarter (for you nerds out there, it was a logistic regression). Flash forward several years, and I'm now one of the top experts in the crowdfunding industry. I started the blog, CrowdCrux, which did over one million views in 2015. I set up a forum called KickstarterForum, which has attracted over six thousand members. I even launched a popular podcast called Crowdfunding Demystified, which has racked up more than 100 positive reviews in iTunes. Finally, I also put out training videos on YouTube and I am proud to say that the channel is experiencing rapid growth. That all sounds impressive, but actually, when I first stumbled on the website, Kickstarter, I didn't have a clue how it worked. It seemed super confusing and I had SO MANY questions. Since 2012, I've come to master the platform and discover the ins and outs of how crowdfunding really works. I've published many of my findings online and I've been being linked to by sites like CNN, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and even The Wall Street Journal. In this guide, I'm going to share with you the step-by-step launch strategy for absolutely crushing it on Kickstarter. In no time at all, you'll be raising money for your startup or creative project. I'll make it super easy to copy and implement these tactics and strategies. I'll also share some Jedi Mind Tricks that most marketers don't know about. Before you know it, you'll be a crowdfunding expert! Now, I bet you're thinking... boy this all sounds like a lot of work. Do I really have to learn all of this? I just want to get funding for my project. Truth be told, it is A LOT to master, which is why having the right teacher can make all of the difference. I'll make sure that you master this material as quickly as possible, so that you can stop fundraising and get back to doing what you love! Either way, whether you decide to run your own Kickstarter campaign, or outsource certain aspects, it pays to know what you're doing. I want to help you smash your Kickstarter goal and then I hope you come on my podcast as a crowdfunding success story. It's time to get serious about making that business you've been dreaming about a reality. It's finally time to get paid for your creative work. Let's get started! |

This illustrated picture book is about a child named Princess T whose parents are no longer staying together and therefore are moving into separate castles.

| can i use gofundme for my business: The Unspoken Rules Gorick Ng, 2021-04-27 Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller ...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs. — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job. Now what? No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted. The answers to these professional unknowns lie in the unspoken rules—the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don't explain and that top performers do but don't realize. The problem is, these rules aren't taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over dinner or from mentor to mentee, making for an unlevel playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error. Until now. In this practical guide, Gorick Ng, a first-generation college student and Harvard career adviser, demystifies the unspoken rules of work. Ng distills the wisdom he has gathered from over five hundred interviews with professionals across industries and job types about the biggest mistakes people make at work. Loaded with frameworks, checklists, and talking points, the book provides concrete strategies you can apply immediately to your own situation and will help you navigate inevitable questions, such as: How do I manage my time in the face of conflicting priorities? How do I build relationships when I’m working remotely? How do I ask for help without looking incompetent or lazy? The Unspoken Rules is the only book you need to perform your best, stand out from your peers, and set yourself up for a fulfilling career. |

| can i use gofundme for my business: Equity Crowdfunding Explained Salvador Briggman, 2018-04-09 When Facebook went public on the Nasdaq in 2012, many of Facebook's 3,000 employees became millionaires, and many more were handsomely rewarded for their dedication, commitment, and appetite for risk. The same is true of countless IPOs throughout history from Google to Microsoft. The investors, employees, and partners that got in early reached a height of financial abundance that many ordinary folk only dream of. Until recently, these types of startup investments were only accessible by the ultra-wealthy. They were hidden from ordinary investors, like you and me. Put simply, the government prohibited you from investing in early-stage startup companies. You couldn't just log onto an online marketplace and buy shares in the next hot startup, that is, until everyone already knew about it. For a while, investors found these traditional regulations to be satisfactory. It helped protect them from risky companies with experimental prototypes. But, as time went on, that assent turned into outrage. The world watched as companies, like Oculus, created the next generation of virtual reality technology and then got acquired by Facebook for $3 billion dollars. It might sound like a big win, but in reality, none of the 9,522 backers that pledged a total of $2.4 million to the Oculus Kickstarter campaign actually had any equity stake from the transaction. They were pledging or donating money, not investing it. They didn't really get a piece of the action. There's no doubt that the world that we live in has been transformed by companies like Facebook, Uber, Tesla, Google, Amazon, and many more. Now, for the first time in history, you can not only be a part of that change, but you can also profit from it. You can become the next stakeholder in a fast-growing startup company that's on the path for an IPO or major acquisition. This book is your passport into the new world of equity crowdfunding, where startups are raising money online from investors all over the world. You'll quickly learn about all the major platforms, what goes into an offering, tips for investors, and finally, you'll get a simple easy-to-understand breakdown of all of those confusing regulations. |

| can i use gofundme for my business: To Siri with Love Judith Newman, 2017-08-22 A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2017 From the author of the viral New York Times op-ed column To Siri with Love comes a collection of touching, hilarious, and illuminating stories about life with a thirteen-year-old boy with autism that hold insights and revelations for us all. When Judith Newman shared the story of how Apple’s electronic personal assistant, Siri, helped Gus, her son who has autism, she received widespread media attention and an outpouring of affection from readers around the world. Basking in the afterglow of media attention, Gus told anyone who would listen, I’m a movie star. Judith’s story of her son and his bond with Siri was an unusual tribute to technology. While many worry that our electronic gadgets are dumbing us down, she revealed how they can give voice to others, including children with autism like Gus—a boy who has trouble looking people in the eye, hops when he’s happy, and connects with inanimate objects on an empathetic level. To Siri with Love is a collection of funny, poignant, and uplifting stories about living with an extraordinary child who has helped a parent see and experience the world differently. From the charming (Gus weeping with sympathy over the buses that would lie unused while the bus drivers were on strike) to the painful (paying $22,000 for a behaviorist in Manhattan to teach Gus to use a urinal) to the humorous (Gus’s insistence on getting naked during all meals, whether at home or not, because he does not want to get his clothes dirty) to the profound (how an automated assistant helped a boy learn how to communicate with the rest of the world), the stories in To Siri with Love open our eyes to the magic and challenges of a life beyond the ordinary. |

The rules of nonprofit fundraising are being re-written as we speak. With the emergence of social media, smartphones, and the web, opportunities for budding nonprofits are finally opening up. What were once tried and true methods to engage donors are quickly becoming archaic and ineffective. Believe it or not, you are living in the golden age of fundraising. A handful of nonprofits have caught on and are absolutely crushing it online. They've harnessed the power of technology to run massive online giving campaigns and reach thousands of supporters across the web. It's a complete no-brainer, but not everyone realizes that yet. In this step-by-step guide, I'm going to be introducing you to several of these organizations that have caught on to and are riding a soaring trend. I've written about many of these orgs on my popular blog, which has been cited by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and more. I've also spoken with many on my podcast. After talking with these nonprofits, I realized one thing. They're not special. What they're doing isn't all that sophisticated. They're run by ordinary folks, just like you and me. In fact, if you follow the steps that I outline in this book, you'll be able to replicate their results. You'll finally get badly needed funding for your organization. Take a second to imagine just how great it will feel to log on to your computer and find your email inbox overflowing with donation messages. Wouldn't that be awesome? I'm not saying that it's going to be easy. Quite frankly, you're going to be treading into uncharted waters. A lot of the tools, websites, and techniques I'm about to cover might seem unfamiliar and at first, confusing. But, I promise you that I'll hold your hand every step of the way. By the end of this ebook, you'll have a clear step-by-step plan for executing an online crowdfunding campaign and know what to do next. More importantly, you'll be able to stay true your org's mission and serve humanity. |
| can i use gofundme for my business: Chasing the Mouse Nathan Monk, 2015-10-05 We've all been there. Well, most of us. That childhood dream of the most magical place on earth. We've all dreamed of seeing the sparkling castle in real life and hugging our favorite characters. But what happens when that childhood dream really signifies something much more-an escape, a rising above the ashes? And then it's dashed against the rocks of uncertainty? Of poverty and hopelessness? In this engaging, reflective, emotional true story, Nathan Monk takes you through the real life journey of a hopeful father struggling to hold his family together in an intimidating world of poverty and homelessness. Villains and evil witches lie in wait, ready to prey on their victims, while supportive sidekicks and fairy godmothers save the day in this remarkable tale of a child who rose from living in parking lots to becoming a widely recognized advocate for the homeless. Written partially from his perspective as a child, Nathan ties these stories back to current issues of social justice and the need for reform in the way we address poverty in America. A perfect blend of fairytale and in-depth expose, you're invited on an intimate journey with Nathan and his family as his father attempts to follow through with his mythical promise of unifying his family, righting wrongs of the past, fighting against a clock as it quickly approaches midnight, and Chasing the Mouse. Overflowing with passion, this touching, needed story will inspire you to reach for your own dreams, knowing that no matter the obstacles, no matter the risk, dreams really can come true ... if you just believe. |

| can i use gofundme for my business: One Million in the Bank Michael Slavin, 2015-08-01 Anyone can make enough to save $1,000,000 in 3-7 years. Most self-made millionaires are made through business ownership. Many people think about it but never take action, they do not have an idea, they do not have the money, and flat just do not know how. This is a practical book to teach you how to find, start, finance, and get free advice to own and grow your own business. For example, a yardman with no money was worth over $9,000,000 in 7 years after buying a nursery and growing his business.
