The death toll in China is reaching 12,000. Another cyclone may hit Burma in the next 24 to 48 hours. I know many subscribers to this ecolumn teach modalities that involve Chinese and oriental roots — all the more reason why you’ll want to help out these suffering Asians.
Have you considered an online fund raiser?
If you have a list of subscribers — all keen on information and advice you can provide — you have a lot of power to help. Think of it. Places like World Vision can only appeal to people’s charitable nature. Instead, you can offer something more motivating in exchange.
It could be as simple as charging a minimal donation of $7 for a teleseminar you’ll host about a health subject that has a wide appeal with your audience. After the teleseminar is done, you can put the audio recording up for sale. Make it clear that ALL the proceeds are going towards the survivors of these two disasters.
This makes it easy for people. They know their money will go to a needy cause, plus they’ll get valuable coaching and information out of it. It’s a win for them and the victims.
Now you won’t make a cent but… If you handle it properly you’ll build your list. Make sure you have a tell-a-friend form so they can spread the word. People will be more inclined to send others to your site to contribute to a charity.
P.S.If you have any questions about how to execute something like this, please leave them below in the comment box.
