GetGreenTurf.com Professional Turf Community Web Site Launches

Loveland, CO (PRWEB) November 04, 2011

GetGreenTurf.com, a new professional turf community Web site launched today, offering turf professionals from both the landscape and golf markets a completely customizable community to learn and share green industry best practices.

GetGreenTurf.com is a brand-new and unique on-line resource that offers lawn care operators and other landscape professionals the opportunity to find out what their industry peers are doing, and how theyre meeting and overcoming the same challenges, said Marty Grunder, President of Grunder Landscaping Inc., The approach behind GetGreenTurf.com is unique, and I strongly believe in the value of the online community the Web site offers turf professionals in both the LCO and golf markets.

A large part of the strategy surrounding the development of GetGreenTurf.com has been around information, and the move towards fresh, current and user-contributed content. To that end, Grunder, a respected motivational speaker and green industry expert, will be contributing a new column to the site monthly in addition to the authenticated, user-populated content.

GetGreenTurf.com offers a number of great tips and techniques that can be applied across almost any green industry setting to help users grow their business, said Grunder Thats one of the big benefits of GetGreenTurf.com the site not only offers best practice ideas on how to grow green, but also how to earn it at the same time!

GetGreenTurf.com has been designed to allow peers to share best practices with peers through dynamic, user-authenticated forums. Once fully launched, the sites interactive functionality will facilitate the green industry community coming together online to share knowledge and grow.

Another unique feature of the site is the ability for the end-user to self-select their experience on GetGreenTurf.com, either from an LCO or a golf perspective. Once a path is selected, the end-user is presented with a series of columns and articles designed especially for their perspective, written by their peers, and allowed the opportunity to join discussion forums with the content most applicable to them.

So much of the professional turf industry is universal, said Grunder. But so much is not. There are specific differences in knowledge base, budgetary constraints, client perspective and on and on between the various facets of the green industry. GetGreenTurf.com is unique in that golf superintendents will find it as useful as LCOs, and vice versa.

In its launch phase, each user who signs up to participate on GetGreenTurf.com will be entered to win one of two Apple iPad

Finally, an Income Paying Fund-Raising System for Community College Students

Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 3, 2011

Now community college students can earn weekly income (between classes) to pay off crushing student loan and credit card debt, and rising college tuition fees. How? By simply raising money for their community college's fund-raising program.

Income For Volunteers, a Houston, Texas-based marketing consultancy, has partnered with an Inc Magazine top 500 international corporation in order to attack two problems that are weakening the foundation of the American community college system. The devastating effect of student loan debt on the present and future lifestyles of community college students. The reduction in government funds and grants available to community colleges.

This extreme fund-raising system is a 21st century hybrid of traditional cause marketing and the proven AARP subscription model: With an income generator for volunteers. Before detailing the system here's a little background on traditional cause marketing from Wikipedia.org:

Cause marketing or cause-related marketing refers to a type of marketing involving the cooperative efforts of a "for profit" business and a non-profit organization for mutual benefit...

An excellent case study of traditional cause marketing that highlights the urgent need for an updated fund-raising system for today's economy is The Cause Marketing Forum's 2010 Halo Awards. And we quote from Advertising Age 06.02.10:

"As the business winner this year, Macy's is being recognized for expanding its cause efforts despite the recession and supporting them with substantial promotional budgets. Its partnerships with the American Heart Association, Feeding America, Make-a-Wish Foundation, National Park Foundation and Reading Is Fundamental, among others, raised more than $ 36 million in 2009, up from $ 32 million in 2008."

Notice that Macy's and the 5 non-profits received increased income, "despite the recession." My question is why weren't the volunteers for those 5 non-profit organizations compensated by Macy's, "because of the recession?" Look at this way. If Macy's had allocated 10% of the funds raised in 2008 ($ 3.2 Mil) to pay the volunteers for their 2009 fund-raising efforts, that would have equated to $ 3.2 million going back into the economy and may have increased the 2009 fund-raising amount even more. The unemployed may have stormed those non-profits to 'volunteer.'

In case you think that $ 3.2 Million is not such a big deal, The 2010 Halo Awards had 22 categories of recipients. All major corporations with budgeted fund-raising dollars and non-profits with unpaid volunteers. Not one fund-raising award for a community college and major corporation combo. Note: General Mills received an award for Box Tops For Education-The Power of One.

No income offered to non-profit volunteers? Why? One possibility is: Its always been done this way. Review the anti-creativity checklist link at http://incomeforvolunteers.ws/abundantliving (blog post #2) for more possibilities.

That is, until now. Community Colleges and their students can now earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in weekly and monthly cash flow: Based on the sheer numbers of colleges and students who are sick and tired of struggling financially and the availability of funds from this corporation: Despite the recession.

No guarantees, of course, of how much you will earn. Too many factors beyond our control. Complete details at: http://incomeforvolunteers.ws

Now he is supporting the idea of paid non-profit community college volunteers because, "Without debt free, educated, positive-minded, and ethically oriented young people to run our country in the future, America will no longer exist as we know her."
