| Don't you think that people are tired of | | | | Raise significant and on-going money with no |
| dishing out money for things they don't | | | | collections, no products to stock or deliver, |
| really need? Their child comes home from | | | | no returns or charge-backs, but get an |
| school, yet again, with boxes of 'old | | | | on-going income - residual income, 'Month |
| fashioned cookies', or a box of assorted | | | | after month, after month'. |
| chocolates to sell to friends and family. | | | | |
| It's understandable, the school needs money. | | | | By the way, it is so easy that anybody can do |
| (don't we all!) Of course, it's not safe to | | | | it. Does it sound appealing? |
| send their offspring out knocking on | | | | |
| neighbor's doors without a chaperone, so the | | | | |
| easiest way would be to cough up the money | | | | |
| themselves! Right? | | | | The name of this idea is : "GatorPond" - this |
| | | | will save your supporters money (which I will |
| No wonder people complain that they need a | | | | explain in a minute) and they will also have |
| pant size bigger every year. Not to mention | | | | a lot of fun cooperating with you. |
| their budget dropping like socks without | | | | |
| elastic! | | | | |
| | | | |
| What about those sweet-smelling candles that | | | | GatorPond is a 'Media Trading Program |
| arrive by the boxes? Fantastic aroma, but | | | | Online', where people can trade DVDs for |
| bulky to store and a definite pain in the | | | | DVDs, music CDs for music CDs, video tapes |
| back to lift! | | | | for video tapes and video games for video |
| | | | games, with other people who are also members |
| If you are a principle, maybe you have heard | | | | of GatorPond. |
| complaints from your teachers. Babysitting | | | | |
| tens of thousands of candles was never part | | | | Unlimited trading for only $19.95 monthly |
| of their contract! Or was it? | | | | membership fee. |
| | | | |
| Personally, I love candles, but let's face | | | | |
| facts here, we are talking about hard work | | | | |
| for those people who really want to help your | | | | Your supporters will SAVE money on their |
| school, or your organization to raise money - | | | | Media Budget, while at the same time your |
| They know you are in need, and they know you | | | | Organization will earn $5.00 per month from |
| need the money 'yesterday'. | | | | 'every supporter' who becomes a GatorPond |
| | | | Member! |
| Accidents happen and unfortunately things | | | | |
| have a habit of breaking. What then? | | | | |
| | | | |
| Do we need to dig a grave for broken candles, | | | | GatorPond will send you a check to your |
| broken cookies and candy and lay them down to | | | | school/organization every month, after the |
| rest? | | | | monthly membership fee has been automatically |
| | | | withdrawn from your supporters' credit card. |
| To my knowledge, first teachers have to find | | | | |
| out from their students the choice of candle | | | | |
| fragrance their potential customer requests, | | | | |
| then they have to scramble through boxes of | | | | Your supporters will also save on gas, |
| candles (breaking at least two finger nails | | | | because they will not need to drive to |
| in the process) until they come across the | | | | different stores to get DVDs, Music CDs, |
| correct item. Of course, we won't mention the | | | | Video Games and VHS tapes. |
| time consuming process of packing. All this | | | | |
| has to happen hundreds/thousands of times | | | | |
| depending on the number of candles you have | | | | |
| received from the candle company. | | | | Here is an example to explain how your school |
| | | | organization will be able to raise funds. |
| Time consuming? YES, very! | | | | |
| | | | -If you have 500 students (employees) and |
| Now the teacher passes the 'baton' to the | | | | they will sell only 3 memberships each, that |
| student who continues the race until the | | | | will give you the total of 1500 Memberships. |
| money is transferred into their tiny and | | | | Multiplying that by $5.00, will equal |
| maybe sticky hands and later deposited back | | | | $7,500.00 per month and $90,000.00 per year |
| into the capable hands of the teacher. Hence, | | | | for your school/organization. |
| the teacher crosses the finish line of this | | | | |
| very long fundraising marathon by counting | | | | |
| every last penny. Out of breath and running | | | | |
| low on a sense of humor, the teacher deposits | | | | This is with no up-front cost or risk of any |
| all the hard earned cash into the treasurers | | | | kind - You can see on the chart - download |
| safe and collapses in a chair from | | | | it in pdf file to see what will happen to |
| exhaustion. | | | | your school financially. All problems will be |
| | | | solved with the extra monthly cash coming |
| Let's take a quick look at the function for | | | | into your bank account. It is nothing else |
| the children. Very often unhappy kids have to | | | | but a true win-win situation. |
| persuade (or at times beg) their family, | | | | |
| neighbors, friends to purchase the | | | | |
| 'irresistible items.' Pressure is on, because | | | | |
| there is always a dead line! | | | | You do not need to invest any money, and you |
| | | | will gain passive income with minimal staff |
| Is the amount raised really worth the time | | | | participation. |
| and hard work invested? | | | | |
| | | | |
| Now what about the third side of the | | | | |
| triangle, potential customers! | | | | I will summarize all your benefits: |
| | | | |
| How many of them are motivated to buy because | | | | You will create passive, recurring income, |
| they just feel sorry for the kids; knowing | | | | with little staff participation. |
| full well that they could buy cheaper in | | | | |
| Wal-Mart or in other stores. That 'puppy-dog | | | | You will save the supporters money and you |
| look' works every time! Moths take flight as | | | | can create a network of Supporters |
| the dollars see daylight! (Well, it's good to | | | | Nationally! You are no longer limited to |
| air the wallet every now and then!) | | | | those in your neighborhood! |
| | | | |
| Are you tired just reading this article? | | | | Before explaining how your supporters save |
| | | | money, I want to underline something very |
| Well, if you have managed to keep reading up | | | | important. |

| | | | |
| Attention! | | | | Here is a typical monthly example: |
| | | | |
| Is it possible to raise a lot of money, and | | | | Rent 4 movies-spend anything from $16.00 to |
| not work hard? | | | | $20.00, buy 1 new release movie- $20.00, |
| | | | later buy 2 bargain priced movies- from |
| Is it possible to raise money not only once, | | | | $15.00 to $20.00; children beg for a new |
| but keep receiving all the time? | | | | video game -1 video game costs from $13.00 to |
| | | | $70.00. Then only one music CD- costs between |
| The answer to both questions is a definite | | | | $8.00 to $25.00. |
| 'YES'. | | | | |
| | | | Much to everyone's surprise, the total bill |
| Listen on.... | | | | can amount from $72 to $155 per month, which |
| | | | equals $864 to $1860 per year! |

| work that they do not have time, energy or | | | | this is the 'thief' stealing their money. |
