2 Ways To Raise Money For A Good Cause

OK. Here's a departure from my writing-focused blog entries.

But, this is good. Every writer should believe in something and get involved in the community to help their neighbors. So....I've decided to raise money for a cause.

Being a writer, I know human nature. Many of us really don't want to be bothered by solicitors. Yet, I figured there are two commodities most of us are willing to let go of without much haggling: used beverage cans and pennies.

So my family is knocking on doors asking for cans and pennies to help send out missionaries across the U.S. and the world. Our preliminary goal is to raise $2,000 by April 2. Seems reasonable. 

Now, the great thing about this blog is that I do have a PayPal button that you can use to make a donation if you want to support our effort. Donate a penny, a dime, a quarter or more. We are sending everything to our effort to send out missionaries.

If you have any questions, send me a note. 

A Little Help?

OK, I haven't really asked for much help, but I'm going to come out and ask now. So, if you're the kind that doesn't want to see someone begging for help, then stop reading now.

Still here? OK. Maybe you're curious. "What kind of help does this guy want?" The great thing about it is that I have options here. I'm assuming those of you still reading might be interested in possibly, maybe, if the dog doesn't need walking, per chance lending me a helping hand.

If so, here is what I'm asking. And by asking, I do mean asking. That means nobody's obligated to help. What I'm asking for is help in three areas:

1. Followers here on my blog.
2. Guest bloggers if you have a topic you'd like to write about.
3. And last but not least, DONATIONS to help me keep writing.

Followers? You can do it through Google Friend Connect, e-mail or other options you can find on the right side of the page.

Guest bloggers? Message me with your idea. You can scan my posts to get a feel for the type of content I write. It's mostly about writing, the writing life, books, etc. I am open to new stuff you don't see here. Just pitch your idea.

Donations? I know...this is a hard one, right. But think of me as the guy willing to wash your windshield at a red light for $1. I have a Donate button at the top right of my blog. The button is through PayPal. Have your own PayPal account, donating is easy. Credit cards work, too. And seriously, if $1 is all you can donate. I will be grateful for that.

There it is. Thanks to all for reading. I'm hoping to bring you more useful links in future posts. I am releasing my next part of the Mall Demons Urban Fantasy serials next week. I have other works about to be published online soon. I'll keep ya'll updated. As always, feel free to comment at the bottom of this post, or e-mail me at pramthree@gmail.com.
