Fund Raising Ideas for Groups in the New Millennium!
How to Leverage Your Fund Raising Ideas
Learn how to easily optimize your fund raising ideas -- whether
for school fund raising, church fund raising, charity work, non profit
organizations, or business - that require minimal effort but produce maximum
monetary rewards.
Leverage is a fairly simple concept. According to
Webster, leverage "
provides an increased means to accomplish some
purpose
" Applied to fund raising ideas, leverage provides an increased
resource that optimally maximizes fund raising efforts, consequently optimally
maximizing the desired financial revenue.
Lets use a typical school fund
raising idea as an example.
The school decides to use a company to
provide candy bars for their annual fund raising event. The company then
provides the school, who, in turn, provides the students with candy bars to
sell. Students lug their boxes of candy bars home and then sell them to family,
friends, and neighbors. On a set date, the school expends time and resources to
collect monies from the students efforts, and awards prizes to those producing
the most sales.
Once the school fund raising event is over, the school
forwards to the company a portion of their acquired monies from sales, however,
no further income from that project is expected or received by the school.
The company providing the candy, however, has employed a form of
leverage to promote their sales by utilizing the schools and students time and
efforts. The company has also doubled their leverage, as the school will
probably return the following year to host another school fund raising event.
The company may even triple their leverage when the school recommends this fund
raising idea to other schools.
Note: The school, unfortunately, has not
experienced leverage with their fund raising idea, although the school and the
students have expended a lot more time and work than the company
did.
How can a school, charity, non profit organization, church, or
business implement leverage in their fund raising ideas or efforts? And more
importantly, how can they optimally maximize their leverage?
The goal
would be to develop a fund raising idea that provides not only immediate
income, but also residual income. Not only will the time and effort expended in
the fund raising project be maximized, but the financial rewards will be
maximized as well.
How can that be done? Well, you will need to think
"outside the box" with your fund raising ideas. Here are a few tips:
·Find a product or service that every household uses or will use
on a daily basis. ·Avoid products that require inventory ·Search
the Internet or brainstorm for products or services that provide residual
(continuous or self perpetuating) income for your time and effort.
·Closely examine the compensation plans offered with these products or
services.
Heres a little tip on compensation plans - the bottom line to
your desired financial rewards:
Look for compensation plans offering
payouts to your organization by incorporating these three areas:
·weekly payout ·monthly residual (continuous) payout
·annual bonuses
Compensation plans that combine these three
areas are quite often easily identified in plans that include a simple "binary"
system. A binary provides you an opportunity to exponentially maximize your
efforts and payouts (leverage), especially if the binary goes to infinity
vertically.
Note: In order for a binary not to be considered a
"pyramid", it must offer a product or service beyond "qualifying" for the
compensation plan.
A compensation plan with a 2 x 2 binary, simply
means that once you agree to join and promote a product or service, only 2
others (one known as your "left leg" and the other known as your "right leg")
are needed to establish your binary when they purchase the product or service
directly from you.
Quite often, your 2 customers for the service or
product are used to "qualify" you in order to receive monetary compensation.
Of course, these 2 individuals now provide what is known as the
beginning of a "downline" for the product or service you have selected for fund
raising. Your "downline" increases as the two legs on each of your customers
becomes filled, and the two legs from each of their customers fills and
increases, and so on.
The grand daddy of binary systems is the 2 x 2
"no flush" binary. This simply means there is no limit to the amount of
customers that can be placed under your right leg or left leg, and therefore no
limit to the amount of monetary compensation. Typically this implies that there
is absolutely no limit to the number of customers in your downlines customers
either. Super leverage!
Extraordinary leverage is achieved when
discovering a binary as suggested above that also incorporates spillover from
your upline (those above you in the binary) - the combination of which
exponentially increases your monetary compensation.
Generally, these
types of binary systems subscribe to a 1/3 - 2/3 rule, wherein you maintain
control of positioning which side the customers will fall in your downline,
e.g., 1/3 under your left leg, and 2/3 under your right leg, or vice
versa.
The Bottom Line:
To optimally leverage not only your time
and effort, but exponentially leverage your monetary compensation, you only
need a fund raising idea that is based on these two simple
precepts:
·A product or service used by every household on a
daily basis, or will be used on a daily basis ·A product or service that
hosts a compensation plan using a 2 x 2 no flush binary which incorporates 3
income streams: weekly, monthly residual, and annual payouts

simple recommendation for a product and service that will be used daily in
every household whose compensation plan includes weekly, monthly residual, and
annual payouts for your fund raising event? Visit:
