person.Show Up On TimeThis is ford to use online registration - have no allocated budget for it. It's like saying we aren't going to buy a computer because it's an expense.

Don't Be The One Who FailsThere are many legitimate work at home Internet business possibilities and many reputable offers to do so online but, there are also some major scams going on. You need to be very diligent in your homework for finding the right home business opportunity for you. You could be one of the 97% of people who fail in your attempt at making money from home. Did you know that only A couple of days ago I had a conversation with a volunteer, we'll call him Bob, in which he said, "I know online registration is the way to do it, I've used it at another organization, but they say we don't have the budget for it here, so we're doing it manually." Bob's chuckle at the end of this explanation was very telling. Free labour is a myth. Volunteers are in demand. Finding and recruiting these people takes time and effort and though there are no salary costs, there are expenses in covering:- The equipment they require
- Possible office space
- Someone to train, manage and supervise their efforts
More importantly, if you're wanting to keep your volunteers happy and keen to offer their time again, you need to make sure that they feel their contribution is worth it. Getting them to physically send out and receive registrations, fax and phone confirmations, process payments and enter data, especially when they are aware of the automated systems now available that do it all for you, is not the best use of their skills and they know it. A smarter use of their time would be getting them to:- Market your event to drum up more participants and generate more revenue.
- Find sponsorship for your event to help cover costs.
- Put more effort into the actual planning of the event, so it runs smoothly, is enjoyed by the participants and has them wanting to attend the next one.
- Follow up with people to thank them for attending the event.
- Strategizing how to make your organization run more efficiently and achieve the goals you have set.
Not only will your volunteer's efforts bring in more money for your organization, but you will have given them a stimulating experience.Another comment from one not-for-profit organization that recently stopped me in my tracks was: "We don't need online registration because our Treasurer manually processes registrations by fax." You wouldn't dream of paying your lawyer to pick up your office supplies would you? Or getting your accountant to do your laundry? The problem here, which I've found to be common in not-for-profit and charity organizations, is the perception that they can't afford to use online registration - have no allocated budget for it. It's like saying we aren't going to buy a computer because it's an expense. If you don't have a computer you can't run an organization.
