The actual fund raising tool would be a niche website. The steps for setting up the website for the non-profit would be exactly the same as the steps for any individual. Each step would have a specific purpose in promoting the non-profit.

  1. Register - One person from the non-profit could register.
  2. Image - An image of the non-profit or of the individual who registered could be used.
  3. Bio - This would be a great place to introduce the non-profit to the WA community.
  4. Starter Lessons - I suggest that a few people take these lessons at the same time either together or separately.
  5. Website - The siterubix.com domain name should reflect the non-profit.
  6. Choosing a Niche - The niche would relate to the non-profit work or be the non-profit.
  7. Monetizing the Site - Affiliate relationships would be related to the non-profit or for the use of non-profit members.
  8. Content - The activities of the non-profit would become the content of the website.
  9. Marketing - Marketing would be through the normal channels used by the non-profit targeting members and their extended family and friends.

Any staff person or participant of the non-profit could follow the starter lessons and develop a website as suggested above. A premium membership could be purchased if the non-profit had a need for multiple sites for specific activities, specific members or specific locations.

There are really two reasons to help a non-profit create a website. The next lesson will discuss setting up a website to provide information about the non-profit.

Help is very needed in theses areas. I am working with a non profit now we are always looking for support. There are groups set up for different kinds of programs to assist the community.

That is a good idea I did sell things years ago on my eating disorder site and gave a percentage to the eating disorder association. Both ebay and amazon have ways to contribute to non profits.
