I'm Happy You Stopped By!
Looking for the Nonprofit Marketing Guide.com Home Page?
This blog is all about do-it-yourself nonprofit communications and marketing. I love helping small and medium-sized nonprofits communicate more effectively with their members, donors, volunteers and other supporters, so that together, we can all make the world a better place. I do that as a blogger, trainer, coach and consultant.
I believe that even the smallest nonprofit staffs with the most modest budgets can achieve tremendous results through savvy marketing and communications. I hope this blog and my online marketing training and other resources encourage you to do just that, while helping you grow personally as a nonprofit marketer and communications professional.
Please comment on posts and feel free to contact
me with your questions and comments. You can also learn more about hiring me as a coach or consultant.
Check out my calendar of events for upcoming webinars, live broadcasts of Magic Keys Radio, online office hours, and more.

Online Courses I thought this might happen, and sure enough, the Canadians want in on the free webinar upgrade program I announced yesterday for nonprofits in these eight U.S. states! So, I’ve gone back and checked the registration records and Googled the list of Canadian provinces and territories (how many can you U.S. citizens guess of the 13?).
It’s the same deal: If you live in one of the areas listed below, I will convert your $35 webinar registration fee into an All-Access Pass ($97), which gets you access to 12 weeks of live webinars, plus the webinar archive and our on-demand courses. All you have to do is register between today and July 31, 2008 for any webinar currently on our schedule.
This offers applies to nonprofits in the following areas of Canada:
- Saskatchewan
- New Brunswick
- Nova Scotia
- Prince Edward Island
- Newfoundland and Labrador
- Yukon
- Nunavut
I’ve had attendees this year from nonprofits in Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Northwest Territories, so if you live there, this particular offer doesn’t apply to you.
Spread the word to your Canadian nonprofit friends!

Nonprofit Communications,
Online Courses I was just reviewing the registrations to date this year for the Nonprofit Marketing Guide webinar series. We are approaching 500 nonprofits participating, from 42 U.S. states, 6 Canadian territories/provinces, and a handful of other countries (Yes, you Aussies and Kiwis can register and view the recording the next day, so you don’t have to get up at 4:00 a.m.!)
I’d really like to be able to say that nonprofits in all 50 states have participated in our webinars, so that means I need nonprofits in these eight states to register:
- Delaware
- Hawaii
- New Hampshire
- North Dakota
- Rhode Island
- South Dakota
- West Virginia, and
- Wyoming
Here’s a big incentive: I will convert the $35 webinar registration of every nonprofit in these eight states into an All-Access Pass ($97), which gets you access to 12 weeks of live webinars, plus the webinar archive and our on-demand courses. All you have to do is register by July 31, 2008 for any webinar currently on our schedule.
Spread the word to your nonprofit friends in these eight states!
UPDATE: Now there’s a deal for Canadians too!
