How to get great fundraising advice without reading an entire book
I love to sit down and read about marketing and fundraising. I often find myself ordering books from Amazon because I like the titles and I truly want to read the books. But, unfortunately, I don’t have enough time.
Here’s a trick I learned that helps me get great fundraising advice without reading an entire book:
I go to Slideshare!
LinkedIn owns Slideshare. It’s a site that houses tons of slide presentations for free. Search for any topic and you’ll find great information that is (usually) easily digestible. They even provide transcripts. You can also ‘clip slides’ you gather research data from for future reference or to share later. Just be careful. The materials you see online ARE copyrighted. You can share them via social media, but you cannot download someone’s material and repost their content as your own. You can only upload the content of others if they have given you permission/attribution.
Here’s one of my eBooks titled Words That Work, The Phrases that Encourage Planned Giving (based on Dr. Russell James’ research). Try Slideshare today and see if it works for you!

Feeling like your job is getting harder because donor expectations have changed and competition for the charitable dollar is growing?
Finding that the old orthodoxies and conventions espoused by so-called experts in online echo-chambers and at conferences don’t work anymore?
Want to help more people make impact by facilitating their acts of philanthropy but feel like too many obstacles keep getting in your way?
Then this book is for you.
Engagement Fundraising was developed from the perspective of a donor who discovered firsthand that the impersonal, spray-and-pray approaches of his beloved charity were not only offensive but also wasteful and ineffective. So he took action. And now, you can too.
