We are a charter school in our second year and want to attract more families on a very tight budget. Any great and inexpensive marketing ideas would be greatly appreciated. :)

In my opinion, its not really “the kids” you want to attract, is it? Of course not. You want to attract “the persons controlling the purse strings”: the parents and guardians of those children. The children won’t have a choice, will they? OR will they? I think you have to win over the parents and guardians AND the children. The Q is “How?”

Your Q is at a pretty advantageous time – maybe. School is JUST getting ready to open for a new year. My Suggestions #1: IF NOT for this year, how about for next semester and/or next year? An “Open House”. AND the entire Board of Directors, faculty and staff should be on-hand to answer any and all Qs from parents and children. The Open House should have some light refreshments – BUT NOT “cheap” or inexpensive refreshments. OR
Suggestion #2: Some of the folks could donate the refreshments, couldn’t they? I’m sure there are some wonderful cooks and bakers on your staff and the parents and guardians of the children attending the school, aren‘t there?

Suggestion #3: You should focus your enrollment campaign on a more affluent area. Honestly, I don’t know how a charter school works or operates, but it seems to me this is the economic level you should start investing your advertising/promotion funding. This level and higher levels.

Suggestion #4: You have to make the investment in time with the Board of Directors, your faculty, staff, current students and the parents and guardians of those students. You NEED ideas to get the magnet to start attracting those folks you‘re interested in attracting and enrolling in your school. What does your charter school do – more of and better than any other nearby school? This is where I think it should begin.

Suggestion #5: You could offer the best suggestion and the runner-ups different fee-paid services for free or at a greatly reduced rate, couldn’t you?

Suggestion #6: I never saw this in any school or college I attended, but I saw it ALL the time in the establishments where I worked: How about comment cards and suggestion boxes placed in strategic locations throughout the school AND [maybe] in businesses throughout the community? You could offer a monthly prize.

Suggestion #7: If you wanted to, you could probably set-up an e-mail address for suggestions only, too, couldn’t you?

Thank you for asking your question. I enjoyed taking the time to answer it. You did a great job – not only for your information, but for every other person interested in reading my answer. Thanks to everyone for reading my answer.

I wish you well!

VTY,
Ron Berue
Yes, that is my real last name.

I have worked for the 501C business for 10 yrs total, 3 in this specific business area. They no longer wish to carry this branch of their association. When they close, I will be fired. Can I start up my own for profit business, with the same business description?

You may have some problems if you use similar names or other things that may be the intellectual or business property of the 501C (3). You should get a written agreement with the Association approving your enterprise. If you plan on using the same facilities as the non-profit there could be some zoning issues that would require a new approval by the local planning department. After that you may organize in the same manner as any business.

I want to make money online using an internet connection. I am interested in knowing about paying websites, pay-for-surf, online jobs, freelance jobs, online contests and prizes, online lotteries etc. Anything that would pay me atleast 100 dollars per month. I have a 24×7 broadband internet connection. I would like to work from home.
Please give me the addresses of various
websites that pay for doing simple things online and offer payment by check. Thank you very much for your kind help. I really
appreciate it.

The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.

Here are the main ways you can earn money online:

1. Sell products on the Web – Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web.

You can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay http://www.ebay.com

2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or EuropeforVisitors.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:

a. Advertising – there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:

1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com
Fastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com
Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com
Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com

2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/
Yahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/
Intellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm
Quigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm
IndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com
Commission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com
Kanoodle Brightads http://www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.html
Clicksor http://www.clicksor.com/affiliate_programs.php
Contextweb http://www.contextweb.com/
Bidclix http://www.bidclix.com/

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!"

b. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people’s products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information

d. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere

4. Paid surveys. The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. Legitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics — e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old — and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey — you’re definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month.

Other companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don’t earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).

Joint Venture marketing is a way to effectively combine your marketing efforts with another person or business and increase your profits. For more help visit to: www.joint-ventures-secret.com.Basically, a joint venture is a short-term partnership with another business; you promote the business, they promote your business, and as sales increase for both companies, you split the profits.

Joint venture marketing is especially effective when selling products or services online. With online marketing, your email list is an important part of your marketing efforts. When you work with a compatible online marketer, you can share your email list with another marketer and their list with you.

Promoting someone else’s product and services requires quite a commitment from you. Before you begin marketing their business, you must be sure that the goods or services are something of quality that you are willing to endorse. The best way to find out is to receive samples of the goods and evaluate them personally. If the joint venture company isn’t willing to supply samples, they aren’t a good candidate for your efforts. Of course, you’ll want to provide samples of your goods in exchange.

You want to have first hand knowledge of how their product works or performs and you want them to have the same knowledge of yours. As you begin to understand the other company’s products you develop a level of trust and clarity, which are vital for your joint marketing efforts.

Using Blogs or podcasts to share your business ideas and information. Podcasts allow users to get a chance to hear your voice; they develop a better feeling for the company or business that’s being promoted because there seems to be a more personal element. Blogs are great for recommending your joint venture partner’s business, and good for tracking client hits and click through rates on the computer.

Offering public speaking events and seminars. For more help visit to: www.jointwebventures.com.What better way to get to know your venture marketing partner than working a public event with them such as an informational seminar? Of course, you need to select a partner that offers complimentary services, but this can be a great setting for marketing. As an example: if you have a real estate business you could develop a seminar with a mortgage officer. Then you can continue to refer clients back and forth to your partner.

Check out social networking sites. You Tube, Face Book, My Space, Plax, and Rye – among others. These sites regularly pop-up, allowing users to go in, set up a blog, put in videos or pictures and offer links.

Set-up affiliates on your website. Provide links to your venture marketing partner or their services. Maintain a link besides your blog, so that readers can respond by clicking the link for more information. Affiliate marketing is an important source of income for many online sites – as an example, lots of people link to Amazon with book recommendations. When the user clicks on the link, you get a percentage of the sale.

There are lots of ways to add valuable marketing to your business without spending another dime. Joint venture marketing is just one of those effective ways. Pick your joint venture partner carefully and you can enhance your profits.

We all know we can make money online, in fact it is very easy to make money online.

Here are just some few examples of things people have done:
1.    Internet Marketing, a very popular way of money online
2.    You could follow in the footsteps of the Nigerians in their money making online scams, just send mass emails to unsuspecting folks telling them about your dead relative or your super-rich uncle/father who died suddenly in the country 10,000th coup of the week leaving behind massive fortunes that need to be transferred into account, preferrably yours!
3.    You could great really creative and auction your virginity.  This is a true story by the way of one US student  who has put her virginity up for auction in order to pay for a masters degree. Bidding for a one-night stand with 22-year-old Natalie Dylan has reached £2.5 million ($3.7 million), rising from offers of £162,000 ($243,000) made when the auction first appeared last September! And the bidding goes on!
4.    You could get invovled in one of the many variations of the porn industry!

I hope that my point here is clear there are a multitude of way of making money online if you have an imagination and little to no moral contraint!

However  I am going to focus on the #1 legitimate way of making money online through the intenet.  I just got done with a call where I learned many secrets of making money online.  My friends Jeff Wellman, famous for laying off his boss and showing others how to do it, Dixie Brown and Paul counts have come together to collectively design a simple systems that shows you how to earn while you learn.

I know, I know you are tired of the same old by line, learn while you earn only to pay out huge sums of money, and then find out later you would have done better sending the money to your nigerian scam artist friends.  I also know you are tired of hearing how easily others are making money online while you stumble in the dark with nothing to show but frustration!

Here is the number one easy secret of making money online : You have to work with someone who has been there and done that.  You must connect with those who know where to send you, and those who are willing to guide you step by step.  It is not news that for many times are hard.  It might be news to you that many companies, even though they may be laying people off, are hiring many internet marketing and internet business entrepreneurs to conduct numerious tasks for them and they are paying top dollar for it!

Well, the bottom line is this, I was on the call for about one and a half hours and I was able to get a book writing deal on the spot as well as an ongoing deal to write articles just like the one you are reading!  Now how is that for Rapid Cash Marketing.

In these times of economic crisis, thousands of people are looking for home based business opportunities that can help to supplement the household income. There are many of such business opportunities that are available on the internet and the potential for unlimited earnings is huge. However, do not expect to get rich quick. In any business, you will be required to invest your time and effort if you wish to succeed.

Affiliate network marketing is an internet based marketing practice where you are rewarded for each visitor or customer that you bring to the organization through your marketing efforts. This is one of the most lucrative and profitable home based business opportunity that you can find on the internet.

If you are keen to follow this route, you will need to choose the right company. Do not jump in without doing some research on the company and their products. If possible, try the product yourself so that you know the quality. You so not want to be promoting something that is not going to give your customers satisfaction. That will just tarnish your reputation.

As this is an online business, take a look at the business opportunity and their websites. Will you supplied with your own website? If so, how exciting is the site. It has to be able to catch the attention of those who visit the website. Just as you are attracted by the benefits and features to make the purchase, so will your prospects.

Decide from the tons of affiliate network marketing companies that are in the market. Understand how best you can start the business by going through the business tool kit and taking a look at the various marketing resources that are available. Develop a plan for yourself, be focused and take massive action.

Affiliate network marketing is a great opportunity for those who do not like to meet people or are basically shy as you are not required to meet and interact with your prospective customers in person. Basically you will promote the products of the company that you are affiliated with just as a salesperson would do in the offline world. In return, you earn commission on all your sales and most affiliate network marketing companies will even compensate you for the sales of your downlines.

At the same time, most of these companies will offer you the opportunity of earning a residual income. This is what makes it exciting. You do not need to keep on finding new customers all the while. As long as your customer remains with the company, you will be paid a certain percentage each and every month. However, this is good only for those products which are used on a monthly basis, such as web hosting.

Setting up a profitable home based business via the internet through affiliate network marketing is definitely possible. If you treat it just like any other business and put in your time and effort to build it up, you will soon see success. A great and profitable work from home business opportunity.

[Recorded November 20, 2009]
Ever since the launch of the 4004 microprocessor in 1971, AMD, IBM, Intel, MIPS, Motorola, National, Sun, Texas Instruments, Zilog and many other major corporations have fought epic marketing wars to establish their chips as the engines of choice for multiple generations of computers.

There were battles over technical specifications, performance benchmarks, software architectures, RISC, 32 bits, and much more. Over the years, the fight shifted from one for hardware design engineers hearts and minds to a battle for those of the computer companies CEOs’, and ultimately, for those of the consumers themselves. This combative environment drove the evolution of spec-based to brand-based microprocessor marketing.

This panel discussion focuses on how the marketing of microprocessors changed as the semiconductor industry grew at unprecedented rates during the 1970s thru the 1990s. Learn about the events and the decisions that shaped the both the semiconductor and computing industries. Wonder at how annual chip marketing budgets ballooned from $100,000 to over $1Billion in less than 20 years.

The panelists and moderator for this session were all protagonists in these microprocessor marketing wars at three of the major players: AMD, Intel and Motorola. – Jack Browne: Hi End Microprocessor Marketing Manager, Motorola, 1981-1992
- Dave House: Intel SVP – General Mgr, Microprocessor business, 1978-81, 1982-91
- Claude Leglise: Intel 8086-8088-286-386-486 Marketing Manager, 1982-1990
- Melissa Rey: Intel Senior Marketing Communications Manager, Intel X86 (8086 
through the 386) communication programs. 1978-1988
- Moderated by David Laws: AMD (1975-1986) VP, Business Development
