Editor's Note - Get Ready For The Fall
Well, it's back to school time for many of our families.
Personally, I've fought mosquitos all summer long and am
ready for some cooler weather. I'll be waiting a couple
more months here in Louisiana before that happens though.
We've been working on some unique fundraisers and will be
presenting some of the free ideas for you; as well as, some
new fundraising products soon. Don't miss the one highlighted
in this newsletter -- it's simply a fantastic way to raise
funds with a high quality product that we'll show you here.
And we want your feedback on anything at ProfitQuests.com.
Recently, one of our readers brought to my attention a
particularly troublesome technical problem and we certainly
appreciate this. I also want to thank you all for your kind
comments toward our efforts here. Check out the few
testimonials posted here.
I'm glad that we are all back in the fundraising loop. I'm
confident you'll be looking forward to some exciting
fundraising proposals this fall.

Fundraising Idea Spotlight - Exploding Profits
I recently had the pleasure to visit with someone at a local
Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post recently about one of
their fundraisers. This fundraiser is so simple, yet often
overlooked as a potential for raising funds.
The actual fundraiser was a Fireworks Tent Sale that took
place during one week surrounding Independence Day. They
probably took in $3,000 for their weeks efforts. That's not
bad for a small nonprofit group with limited help.
I found that this fundraiser accomodated many enthusiasts that
wanted to purchase fireworks for their patriotic celebrations.
However, this fundraiser may not be for everyone. I would
certainly caution against youth groups putting one of these
fundraisers on for safety reasons.
The Fireworks Tent Sale lends itself to more civic, community,
or associations that have mostly an adult membership. Check
out some of the details on the Fireworks Tent Sale here.

Fundraising Product - Get Your Free Affinity Program
You may be asking yourself what an affinity program is and
how can this possibly help my organization? Well, basically
an organization promotes a product or service of a company in
exchange for a percentage of the profits generated after a
sale is made.
For instance, many credit card companies offer affinity
programs to Universities, hospitals, businesses, and larger
national nonprofits. Well, the affinity product that we are
going to offer you is not a credit card program. It's much
more profitable than that.
For starters, it's free to sign-up. That's right free. And
on top of it, this company will give you a free website where
all of your supporters can buy right from your new site. Your
sales are automatically tracked for you.
You also have access to a fully functional reporting section
of your website. You can see what is happening to the sales
you are making and where you should target your efforts.
Wait, that's not all. You also get the ability...for a
nominal cost...to customize your site to look like your
current nonprofit website, if you like.
One more thing. You get continual free training on the web
and through live calls with some of the top pros in the
company. It's all at BestTalkPlan.com
And here's the best deal about this affinity program...
you get 6% to 10% on residual sales each month every month
from each customer. You also get bonuses when individuals or
other groups you sponsor begin making sales of their own.
Are you excited yet? Well, I am because I found this very
profitable fundraiser for you and it's all free to start.
Just how I like it.
Get started now at BestTalkPlan.com
and click on the Affinity Bronze Package.
On a final note. If you are an individual looking to bring
in a few extra dollars each month, BestTalkPlan.com also has a
Free home business opportunity.

Book Review - 25 Fundraising Secrets
Authors Joe Garecht and Brent Barksdale have some secrets
to tell. Twenty five of them that is, but perhaps much more.
One thing I'm always looking for is a fundraising idea or
special fundraising secret that will make me successful. It
could be a fundraising secret that is very little known.
Or it could be so common that many have written it off.
This book is designed for a broad range of nonprofit groups,
political campaigns and various charities. The authors
present some insightful "secrets" that should enable anybody
to bring in consistent fundraising revenues.
You'll find some great fundraising ideas that really help you
raise money for all sorts of projects. However, the main
emphasis in this book is geared toward the political arena.
The authors have extensive experience in raising money for
political campaigns. And they've been very successful at it.
So, this is not just fluff written by ivy tower professors.
Regardless, you don't have to be a political fundraiser to
benefit from this book. If you are a fundraising beginner
in a new nonprofit, experienced pro of an established
charity, or if you are raising money for a political venture,
you would do well to read this book. I give it a 4.5 on a
scale of 5.
