Carnival Games and Money Making Made Easy
We here at VolunteerSpot are very happy to tell you about a new friendship we have been developing with a blogger named Jim Berigan. Jim is the founder and chief writer for the website, EverybodyHatesFundraising.com.

Even though his site is called everybodyHATESfundraising, his goal is to help groups create an environment in which nobody does! According to Jim, his new site is a “parent-friendly fundraising blog for the ‘little guys'", which basically means that he will be paying extra special attention to those of you brand new to the fundraising committee, as well as to those of you veterans who may be looking for some fresh ideas. His mission is to help organizations like schools, youth groups and nonprofits stay away from fundraising methods that have worn out their welcome with most parents and businesses.
To help launch his new venture, Jim has written an eBook that we are really excited about. It’s called “The 2009-2010 School Carnival Money Making Guide”. It is 186 pages and chock full of tips, advice, and strategies on how to raise more money at your next carnival -- which, as many of you know, is one of the most popular and effective ways to raise funds for schools, churches and other community groups.
This e-book, which sells for $20, takes you through the entire carnival process, from establishing a cohesive team right at the start to planning dozens of the best ways to actually make money at your event. He shares detailed information on many topics, including:
Marketing
Volunteer management (which he specifically highlights our simple VolunteerSpot sign up tool),
Prize selection
Monetization
In addition, he has teamed up with SchoolCarnivals.com to provide an extensive list (over 30 pages) of midway games and larger group activities that your families will absolutely love.
Please take a few minutes to visit EverybodyHatesFundraising.com and check out what Jim has to offer. We have read through his eBook ourselves (and shared it with our school carnival committees), and we believe that the strategies he outlines will be very helpful in boosting your carnival revenue. We also want to mention that for every sale of Jim’s eBook made through this link on our website, VolunteerSpot will receive a $6 to $10 commission, which will be very helpful in supporting our mission of supporting local volunteering. Overall, it’s a no-lose proposition -- you get a very helpful product to help you raise more money, and we get a financial bonus!
For more information about Jim’s new eBook, we encourage you to click here and check out his site. “The 2009-2010 School Carnival Money Making Guide” (it includes a 60 day money-back guarantee).
For those of you looking for some quick and fun carnival game and booth ideas, we have a FREE eBook available here: Fabulously Fun School Carnival Ideas. It's nowhere near as comprehensive as Jim's - but it is guaranteed to spark some fresh ideas for your upcoming local carnival. Whichever eBook you choose, be sure to use VolunteerSpot's free and easy volunteer scheduling tool to save time coordinating your volunteers!
