So your budget’s tight right? Well, Yahoo! has a nice little way to earn some extra bucks for your ministry. It is called GoodSearch. First, you have to register your ministry (non-profit) with them. Then they send you an email telling you if it was approved or not. Next, you start searching! Basically, you use GoodSearch to do your internet searching and each time you make a search, you earn $.01 for your ministry. Here’s an excerpt from their about page:
“GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It’s a simple and compelling concept. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it’s powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!”
I promoted it in several of my newsletters and asked the parents in my ministry to make it their main search page. If you can get 200 people to do this by making an average of one search per day, you can make $730/year for your ministry! They cut checks once per year in the Fall, just in time when you need end of the year money!
I have found that their searches are not quite as accurate as Google, so it is not the best site for specific internet research. It also is not as comprehensive as Google at image and video searches. Nevertheless, it can be a quick and easy source for extra revenue!
