PDA America, the org that I do the volunteering for, is looking for fundraisers.
While we CAN beat the Koch Brothers and their associates with people power, we can't do it with NO money.
So, here's your chance to use your phone skills and supplement your income while helping build PDA.
I'm looking for 5 commission-based fundraisers. Folks who will take leads that we provide, call them, and secure contributions for PDA. Starting pay is 20% of gross contributions.
If you've been a successful sales person in the past, you'll find this work easy, and probably more fulfilling than your sales job was.
Full or part time. You set your hours. Work from the comfort of home. All you need is unlimited long distance and a reliable internet connection.
Let me know if you're interested!
Send e-mail to mikefoxatpdaamerica with the subject "I'll dial for dollars" I personally find Mike a pleasure to do stuff for, but people do get a little different when money changes hands.

Last year I sold my very first short story. We just launched the Kickstarter for Genius Loci: Tales of the Spirit of Place, so you can pre-order the book to read my story! I am also offering an online writing workshop as a reward. I'm excited about this anthology, so any support and/or signal boosting is appreciated!
