I need ideas to make & save money to travel to Spain next spring for my brother’s wedding. Can anyone help? :)

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

This is not a chance to advertise your scamming online business. I’ve tried alot of those and I’m done with that. I need real ideas that I can do from home (i’m a stay at home mom with two small kids) and that actually work! Thanks for your help!

You could do an in-home daycare. Or put your name on a bulletin board in a retirement community for grocery service. Then plan your grocery trips for once or twice a week and charge $10.00 or $20.00 for each person you shop for. You can take the kids and you probably are gonna be at the grocery store anyway. It is worth a shot. And better than all those scams like envelope stuffing. Good luck and have fun in Spain!

Fundraising ideas for high school kids to buy in school to donate money to breast cancer research?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I’m in high school & I need a fundraiser idea to sell at school that kids in 9th through 12th grade would like to buy to donate money to breast cancer research. We can’t sell any foods or candy because it’s against school rules. I need something kids will like, for example last year we did pink hair extensions for girls & made alot of money. Thanks

Hello,

Book sales may be a fund raising event of interest to you. The money can be used for club purposes and or donated to a literacy organization.

All across the nation, many organizations hold book sales that feature cheap books that were either donated or removed from circulation of a library. Typically these sales sell books, CDs, magazines, and DvD’s for rock bottom prices. This type of fundraiser helps generate much needed funds while promoting literacy in the community.

One resource I have found online that gives a good overview on how to run one.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article…

Being charity organizations, these nonprofit organizations often have limited resources to advertise and promote their sales. As such, many people are never made aware of the excellent deals they are missing within their own communities. That’s where http://www.booksalemanager.com comes ins. We are attempting to bridge the gap between Organizations looking to more effectively advertise their sale, and people looking to find more places to get good deals on books and media.

Organizations and other non-profit groups can freely advertise their sale on our site. People looking to find sales can use our powerful search tools to find these sales. They can search by state, zip code, sale size, and date ranged.

Furthermore, people can create an account and save sales to their calendar to help them better track the sales they want to go to. Accounts also allow users to be notified if a new sale is listed in their area and send notifications to remind them of an upcoming sale. All these features help increase sales for the organization and promote a successful sale.

I believe book sales are a great way to find bargain books and media while at the same time supporting the local organizations we all know and love. It’s a total win-win.

Thank you for your time and if you have any other questions, please let me know.

a really good way for kids to earn money?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

i’m 13. i’m not aloud to get a real job. whats a good way to make money inside my home (not going out into public or need my parents help). all that i’ve been doing is asking my parents little, easy things i could do for a quarter or two. thinking that if i do that alot, in time i’ll reach my goal. any other ideas?

DON’T do any of those work from home internet things. They are a scam. You could try babysitting, but usually people want you to go to their homes for that. You could sell things on ebay, but you need a bank account for that. You could do more extensive chores for your parents, like big projects that they will pay more for–cleaning out closets, weeding flowerbeds, things like that.

How to help remote family (relatives) with two kids and not much money that are all severely over weight?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

We send a little money to help make ends meet and it has helped. The grade school kids are responding to some tutoring.

Now for the health problems: Mom 28, dad 30, both at least 50lbs over ideal. Kids- girls- age 6 and 7, already at least 30 lbs over.

We know lots of healthy tips, but most cost money. They live in a large metro area in Michigan, so shopping should be OK except for good produce in the winter.

I think they just buy the convenience food on sale, like cheap pizza, etc.

From my view maybe starting with "how to cook", or "how to read labels" books, or maybe pick a meal and give them improvement ideas- ie breakfast tips. ‘Prevention’ magazine?

I know having little money can be a problem, and having finicky kids can drive a mom crazy.

Any tips, books, ideas, successes, programs, please.

Sit down and talk to the parents about your concerns, and wish to help, etc. Without their complete agreement and support you can’t do anything.

See if you can help identify some of the REAL causes- WHY fast foods, why couch potatoing? Would the kids like to be in a club or class that is more active (martial arts, open gym, etc.?) Do they lack friends nearby to play with?

Do the parents feel they don’t have the time or energy for better food? Is it really a lack of education?

Your biggest challenge is how to make sure that in their eyes you are not a meddling pain in the neck sticking your nose into their business.

How can I raise money for charity?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I am looking to raise money for the Gold Foundation is a charity organize by Champ Jamie Gold who is ex poker WSOP champ back in 2006 and now hope to give much money to great causes. Since win the big prize Jamie has already donated $110 million to charities!

Please tell me what I can do as hoping to run my own charity event and provide funds to go to God Foundation and need good ideas for how to make money for the kids.

Bob

Go onto Oprah’s website.
Look up the ‘pay it forward’ campaign
She gave people a small amount of money, with the task to pay it forward, doing something good for someone else.
Some of them just handed money to strangers, and some of them bought things for people and charities, and others actually used that money to make more money by various fund raising methods.

Surely there you will find some inspiration

Homeade gift ideas kids can make?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Hi! I’m babysitting 3 children next Friday and last time I watched them we talked about making gifts for their parents. I don’t want to spend too much money but I want all of them to enjoy making something. Their ages are 10 (boy), 8 (girl), and 4 (boy). Thanks so much!

Get three glass ornaments (craft stores) get four or five colors of paint, fill 1/8 with 2 or 3 paints of child’s choice twirl ball till covered with paint on the inside and let dry. This makes a quick easy craft for under $10! :)
