Creative ideas to raise money during an auction???? -

So, my work is having a silent auction and in past years has done really well at raising money......but the last 2 years its gone really downhill. I work at a private childrens school and its really important we use the raised money for improvements to the schools program. We ve all been trying to brainstorm for some cool/unique ideas to have during this years auction that will help raise a decent amount of money but havent been able to come up with too much. Can anyone offer any inventive ideas please?

Ive got an idea for a website, but i have no idea how to go about starting it up. help? -

i ve got an idea for a website, but i would have no idea how to go about getting sponsors/selling adspace, designing the website itself, or anything like that. can someone please give me some advice?

There are a number of companies that sell domain names and also offer website hosting. Many have easy templates that you can use to create your website within a few hours. One I ve used is www.Go-Daddy.comYou can sell ads on your site through google, or you can seek out your own sponsors and charge them to place ads by finding and contacting people and businesses who you think would benefit from having an ad on your website. You can find your advertisers by contacting businesses and individuals to let them know about the advertising available on your website.Good luck!

Yes, there is a piece of software called XsitePro2 that helps you to design (has templates for you to copy) a website and allows you to add advertising space from Google Adsense, Amazon, Clickbank, Commission Junction and others.It will take about 1 hour to learn how to build your first website as their training manuals are brilliant.Hope that this has been of help to you.

Is being a consultant necessarily mean it is a good job? -

Sometimes when someone were to tell you they are a consultant, it will seem they are in a great job and it does sound prestigious.However, can being a consultant necessarily mean a great job? For example, someone can claim to be a food consultant but can that be something special or if someone were to claim they are beauty consultants, does it mean they had been promoted to a good and high level position?I remembered a few years back a friend of mine lost his job. For quite a long time, he was jobless. Then he started a consultancy company and became a consultant. So it seemed he had suddenly been promoted .However, we all know he had been jobless and he started the consultancy company to make a living.Likewise, I see a number of beauty consultant shops in my town that provide beauty tips to their customers. However, these shops are not regulated by the authorities and any Tom, Dick and Harry can be a consultant.So is being a consultant (any consultant) necessarily mean you are in a good job?

Consultant in it s original form is the one who is knowledgable in some discipline and appointed for consult on certain matters could it be on industry/ business / management or on technical Presently it is used very frequently and has its value diminished.

a consultant is slightly more than a executive. a consultant idealy knows the in and outs of the area he is consultanting and he has prior expenicenes in that area working himself. if good job means good salary and some perks then yes, he gets better salary as he has experience in that field and can advice the company on how to proceed. if good job means more learning then maybe not.

Anyone can call themselves a consultant. Many white collar workers who get laid off start consulting companies to fill the gap in their resume until they land a full time job.In the true since of the word, a consultant is an expert in their given field and have the knowledge, training and experience to help solve difficult problems that companies are willing to pay a premium to receive.Some consultants that I work with bill $300 an hour. However, these people typically have graduate degrees and a proven track record of producing results. Many times their compensation is tied to the completion of a project so they are at risk of not being paid if they fail to deliver.Being a consultant can be a great job but it often requires a great deal of work at no pay in order to land new clients. Many times these clients are located in other parts of the country or even the world so traveling for extensive periods might be required.

Alternatives to royal mail for small packages? -

I m selling tons of stuff on ebay over the next 3 weeks and wondered if there was a cheap alternative to royal mail. I don t want the buyers to be waiting until after christmas for their items. Most of it is clothing so fairly lightweight. Any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers

Try Interlink. I ve just switched to them from TNT because they offer decent rates on their bags. They do an up to 1kg bag rate and an up to 5kg bag rate. I estimate you may be looking somewhere in the region of ��6(ish - so don t hold me to that) depending upon your usage. Their software is really easy to use making booking collections and tracking parcels quite easy. Don t know if this is up your street but I hope it helps.

Rind some of the courier companies and ask what they charge. You may be pleasantly surprised. The office I work in uses couriers to get stuff to labs etc and never uses the Post Office.
