An Easy Fundraising Idea – Fast Track Fundraising & Yahoo!

Here is a really easy fundraising idea using Fast Track Fundraising and Yahoo!! It's free and simple, and you should definitely add it to your fundraising campaign.

It's actually one of the Must Have fundraisers that I think every single Group, Organization, Individual and Charity that is fundraising should have!

This easy Fundraising Idea is worth a Smile!

So How Does This Easy Fundraising Idea Work?

You will first need to register your group or charity for Fast Track Fundraising's toolbar through the online fundraisers section. It's free and will only take a couple of minutes.

Then you will email and contact all your friends, family, members, supporters and prior donors with your toolbar for them to use.

Essentially you will raise funds as these supporters do their every day searching of the web for information and/or products! Easy hey!

So How Does This Actually Raise You Funds... Let Me Explain!

Merchants and online stores etc. advertise through pay per click (PPC) adverts at Yahoo! (and Google).

Their adverts are the small boxes that sit underneath the sponsored results tab on the right hand side of a search query you have made.

Every time someone clicks on one of those ads the advertiser has to pay a certain fee for that click (Pay per click).

You raise funds with this when a search query has been done through your Toolbar and the searcher clicks on an advert (Sponsored Listing)... you then receive 10c for that click.

So How Do You Make This Easy Fundraising Idea Really Rewarding...

By making sure that every single one of your supporters uses your charity as the supporting charity when they do their regular searches for information and products on the net!

Encourage them to download your toolbar and use it for their every day searching of the web!

Start by emailing every contact you have about your fundraising toolbar.

Then make sure you advertise this easy fundraising idea on your fundraiser website, and through your newsletters.

Also use your Twitter and Facebook pages to post about it and promote it.

Just keep on reminding people about it!

For your website I would suggest having a download link for the toolbar on your home page.

Something like this... "Help and support our cause while you search the web. Click here to learn how!"

You can of course elaborate a bit more than that if you like!

It's Not Only A Fundraiser:

This toolbar from Fast Track Fundraising is not only a fundraising tool, but it is also a tool to keep your cause in front of your supporters at all times.

Through the toolbar you can set up links to pages on your website and keep people updated with whats happening with your cause.

This all means that you have another great way of retaining visitors to your site.

People will always have your charity advertised in front of them when they work on the net and your website will only be a simple click away...

Wrapping Up

Fast Track Fundraising not only provides a simple and easy Fundraising idea for your cause... It also provides a great website visitor retention tool!

I wish you great luck and success with this easy fundraising idea!
