Double listing for "Fundraising Seminar" on first page of Google

Last week, I watched a video improving traffic to your site from StomperNet. They gave ideas on how to optimize your site to help people more easily find you in web searches.

Wednesday night, I put these tips in place for my fundraising seminar website. By this morning (Friday), it was on the first page on Google for the the search term "fundraising seminar"!

If you're new to SEO, I'd suggest checking out the many free webinars at Stomper Universe.

As for me, I'm going to be seeing out to get my fundraising seminar page to be one of those two listings! :)

Hear great tips on recruiting volunteers from VolunteerMatch's Greg Baldwin

Today's Ask Without Fear! Radio Show conversation with Greg Baldwin, President of VolunteerMatch.org was amazing!

In our hour together, he shared thoughts on:

• corporate philanthropy
  
• making experiences meaningful for volunteers on their terms
  
• how different age groups approach volunteering
  
• and his conversations last week with President Barak Obama's transition team.
  

Greg has a terrific ability to shape ideas and help people re-imagine the possibilities of their mission.

You can listen to the show by going to:

AWF on the shelf at Borders

Wednesday, I signed more copies of Ask Without Fear! at the Border's in Bangor, ME. That's why they've got those nifty "autographed copy" stickers in the corner!

Here are some pictures of them right smack in the middle of the management section! As you can see, it's in very good company!

Fundraising Coach on CBC's "Definitely Not the Opera"

Burning some more of my 15 minutes in the spotlight, I was included in a segment on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Definitely Not the Opera.

A podcast of the best parts, perhaps including my segment, is available at http://www.cbc.ca/dnto.

Ask Without Fear! mentioned in CA newspaper article

Thanks to Google News Alerts, I found out I was quoted in the Yuba Prospector. The article is sensationally called: Charities Left Squirming to Stay Alive.

I was never contacted. And I didn't say all that I'm quoted saying. I certainly didn't suggest nonprofits stop innovating!! But I guess it gets the word out about Ask Without Fear!!
