How To Make Money With No Money

With school funding coming under ever more pressure how do PTAs raise money without constantly asking parents to delve into their pockets?

We’ve been looking out for ingenious ways PTAs are responding to this growing conundrum. Is there an idea here you can use?

1. Double your event profits with match funding

Raised £1800 at your summer fair? Make that £3600 with match funding.

Put a call out to find parents who have match funding opportunities at work. Banks and other well established organisations often run match funding schemes their employees can apply for. It usually just involves a bit of form filling. Our Ambassadors tell us they reserve match funding applications for their biggest fundraising events.

2. Earn money as parents spend online

Easyfundraising is a well known way to raise money in PTA circles. When parents buy online with specified retailers a small donation is given to the PTA.

Once signed up parents just click on a pop up reminder to donate the ‘cashback’ from their shop to the PTA. Parents can earn your PTA money just by doing their weekly online shop. However, parents buying a new mobile phone, insurance or booking a holiday through one of the registered retailers is where the real money is made. It’s a great way to earn money without having to even bake a cake.

3. Ask parents to support with actions not money

We’ve spotted one enterprising PTA using Ralloo which partners fundraisers who have a network of supporters with brands willing to sponsor them in exchange for a bit of engagement.

Once connected, all you have to do is rally, or “Ralloo” the other parents to engage with the brand sponsor online. Engagement can mean anything from answering a survey to watching a video or tweeting about the project.

See this inspiring example at St James’ Infant school in Tunbridge Wells.

4. Be entrepreneurs

PTAs are making the most of the talents in their community.

A primary school in Cornwall has published a book of fun things for children to do in the area. The book was written by the school community with children contributing drawings and photos. The booklet is sold in local shops and online to raise funds for the school to replace a classroom. Read more on this here

We also spotted PTA at a primary school in Shropshire that has teamed up with a local cycle shop to deliver a ticketed cycle event. The PTA take the proceeds and help man the event (and bake the cakes). The cycle shop benefits from the publicity. Find out more here www.batchburner.org.uk

If you’ve got similar ideas you can set up a dedicated community group on Classlist for people who are interested in getting it off the ground. Or, put a call out to the school community for ideas.

5. Earn money when advertisers appear on Classlist

Classlist is free for parents & PTAs to use and is funded by select relevant parent-focused advertising on the app. PTAs who recommend local businesses to advertise on their Classlist site receive a percentage of the revenue if the advertiser goes ahead. Contact our friendly advertising team at advertise@classlist.com or see our Fundraising page if you are interested. It could be a great new role on your PTA for the right person and a new income stream for your school.

6. Flip it

Instead of fundraising for the school find ways to help the school save money.

Can your PTA set up a schedule of parents to spend one morning a term listening to the children read, to help regularly in the playground at lunch or cover some hours in the school office? This would save your school staff costs for a TA /lunchtime cover/office administrator.

Let us know at support@classlist.com if you’ve tried any of these ideas already or have others – we’d love to share your story.

I hear this all the time: “Tim, I want to learn stock trading, but I don’t have any money. What can I do?” And what the people asking this forget is that I was once exactly where they are. I didn’t have a mentor, and I didn’t have some special training program to help me uncover the trading patterns that have made me successful.

I worked hard, and I did it on a budget. Here are three ways you can do the same:

1. Take advantage of free resources.

There are so many great training videos, blogs and other resources that will help you get started that you have absolutely no excuse for not jumping in today. I’ve got over 100 hours of video footage on my Youtube channel HERE -- all free for you at absolutely zero cost.

Can you imagine where you’d be as a trader if you took the time to go through all of those videos? Say you took two hours a day to study my stock-trading advice. You’d get through the videos in under two months, and I guarantee you’d be in a better position than the people out there who buy into big-ticket courses, then never act on the information they’ve purchased.

I wish I could show you all the hours I spent when I was first getting started, sitting at my computer and studying stock charts until my eyes glazed over. I started from “square one,” too -- and I didn’t have access to nearly as many resources as you do. Fifteen years ago, the Internet was a totally different place. If I could pull it off with my limited access, you can do much better now, with all the different resources out there today.

2. Set up a practice account.

With all the different free resources out there, I want you to go crazy. Read every blog post or book you can get your hands on and watch every video. Learn about the fundamentals of stock trading, what it means to watch price action and how to execute trades.

But I also want to caution you that there’s a point where you have to translate all that education you’ve invested into action. Reading about trading isn’t enough. You aren’t a trader until you, well . . . trade.

If you don’t yet have the money to open your first brokerage account, at least start practicing. Find a website online that lets you set up a practice account and actually execute a few test trades. Practice the strategies I teach, but do it in a low-risk way. While practice portfolios aren’t perfect mirrors of real-world accounts, they’ll at least get you used to the feeling of researching and executing a trade.

3. Start saving for your brokerage account

As you research and run trades in your practice account, take a look at the brokers I use, because I want you to think ahead for the future. One of the great things about penny-stock trading is that you can get started with a small account. Let’s say you’ve got just $2,000 to invest. With that money, you could buy about 16 shares of Apple stock at $120 a share, or you could buy 2,000 shares of a stock trading at $1 a share.

And since you make money when you enter and/or exit a stock based on the number of shares you hold, which of these options do you think will help grow your account the fastest?

Penny stocks are a great fit for beginners, but I do want to caution you on one thing: Don
