#3) How you can get your members to make free lenses
Squidoo has come up with a zero cost, low effort way to spread awareness for your cause and do a little fundraising at the same time.
What if you went to your donors, but instead of asking for money, just gave each of them a link and asked them to build a lens?
A lens on a topic that matters to them--from global warming to charity walks to their favorite music albums. With links pointing back to your site, featuring your logo, or pulling in your RSS feed. Each lens could earn a penny, a nickel, a dollar a day for your organization. And spread the word.
You'd also earn a $5 bounty on every successful new lensmaster you brought in.
Ask for their voice, not their money.
