hi there Christy chase with the death
strategy and I wanted to share with you
today an idea on how to make some extra
money so I had a situation a long time
ago where I ended up needing to come up
with some money fast I needed like $700
and I didn't know where it was gonna
come from and I was already working full
time I was a full-time single mom I
didn't have any extra time on my
schedule to go make it money doing a
part-time job I would have run pizzas or
anything but I just didn't have that
kind of time and I didn't available to
go do it
so I came up with the idea of helping
someone else besides just helping myself
because I truly believe what Zig Ziglar
and all the greats say if you help
enough people get what they want then
you'll end up getting what you want so I
went on this premise and I thought I've
got to help someone else what the time
my son went to a private school but they
had some pretty ratty sports equipment
for the kids to play with so I thought
let me help them so what I did was I put
together an idea so I go online at the
time Beauty players were really awesome
so I got this really cool dvd/vhs combo
where the DVD can record off the VHS so
people could convert their own VHS tapes
this was a while back so I found a
really great one online that was
extremely inexpensive and so I got
pictures of it and I downloaded it made
up a really really great flyer and then
I went over to Staples and I got this
role of raffle tickets and what I did
was I did up a sheet on like a
spreadsheet like the one in Excel and I
just put a name a raffle ticket number
at their phone number and their email
address so I went around all over the
place and so what I was gonna do was a
50/50 that I was gonna have 50% of the
profit come to me and 50% go towards
school okay of the profit taking off the
cost of the DVD player so what I did was
I went around I sold tickets so I did
each ticket for $1 I just came up with a
price range where each should get was so
much and if you bought five it was less
and so on and so forth so that I can
sell them massive quantities of these
tickets and you know people want to do
anything they can to help children or
school or whatever I had so much success
with people I didn't even know I was
stopping people at malls you know at
their cars I mean everything and I would
write out their information so I got
their name their phone number their
email address and I gave them a ticket
in the road
well you tear it off and you keep one
side of the ticket just like going to a
carnival so by the end of six weeks not
only did I have enough money to do the
utmost awesome DVD player that was
really affordable I paid for that I
ended up making $1,900 and I split that
in half I had enough for me and I had
enough to give to the school and I
donated it to the school in you know
from you know my name saying that I did
a fundraiser for them I told him exactly
what I did because I wanted to compete
completely transparent and they loved
the idea and so I ended up being able to
give them something in my son's name and
I was able to pay my bill it was
absolutely phenomenal so it's such a
great idea if you have a certain period
of time you need to come up with money
come up with it you know like right now
you what's hot you can come up with a
flat panel television um you just gotta
have enough money to pay for it in these
days you can actually you know order it
and dropship directly to them you just
got to make sure you have enough money
to cover the cost the TV and the cost of
dropshipping it now the other thing you
could do is actually do it just a 50-50
raffle say you don't want to get an item
because here's the thing if you get an
item you got to make enough money to at
least pay for that item or now you've
lied you don't want to lie
number one remain completely transparent
and number two make sure that you you do
everything that you say you're going to
do you have to you're gonna lose
complete credibility you have to do
everything you say you're gonna do so
you could just do a 50-50 raffle and
tell people listen the winner will get
50% of whatever is is raised okay so you
do a raffle you give out the tickets
right every dollar you get 50% goes to
you 50% of that goes into a fund for the
winner and you can make it for as long
as you want it just depends on how much
you want to do so what you do is this
you go on Facebook and you create an
event and you set it up so that
everybody understands the rules how to
do it and send everybody an invitation
to the event and you explain everything
that you're going to do and you link it
to PayPal so that people can go right on
PayPal paid directly from their PayPal
so you can have people joining in to
your raffle from California or New York
or Florida or it doesn't make any
difference where it is you might have
family in England and any country okay
you can do this for whatever period of
time you want and then the money will go
right into your PayPal account and then
what you do is you take it out you take
50% of it you give it to the winner you
got a pic I'll do a drawing I actually
let my son do it um pick the winner
you've got to be legitimate and you got
to disclose everything and it's
phenomenal you can make some money for
yourself what's really great about it
too as you can make up flyers put fliers
out everywhere that lead people back to
the Facebook group because you want them
to lead back to somewhere that they can
pay when you do an event you can send
that out to people all your friends can
send it to their friends and their
friends and they can go absolutely viral
you can do a video on YouTube and that
can go viral and just put a link in it
back to your Facebook page I mean it the
possibilities are endless you can use
all the social media sites to promote it
so that it goes beyond your circle of
influence anyway I hope this was a
helpful idea for you to come up with
something if you need to pay a bill very
quickly just make sure that you follow
any laws regarding reporting your money
to the IRS because you got to pay taxes
on that and just make sure that you
disclosed exactly what it is that you're
doing and let people know upfront
because if people know you're raising
money for a particular purpose whether
it's to help pay your car to get you out
of debt to raise money to keep your
house from being foreclosed or you're
saving up for a special trip it doesn't
make any difference
if people know the truth of what you're
doing they'll be willing to help you and
the most important thing is transparency
and following through on your work
what's great about a 50-50 raffle is you
don't have to be obligated to buy
something you just give away whatever it
is you make within that period of time
anyway Christie chase with the debt
strategy coming up with ideas to help
you make money so that you can focus on
your future take care
