After Marilyn Donnellan, President of Nonprofit Management Services, LLC offered a sample board agenda
on a LinkedIn Group discussion, she received hundreds of requests to
"email me a copy". She uploaded that one document to
IdeaEncore and posted the IdeaEncore link to her document to the LinkedIn
group. Now anyone in that group (and many other visitors to IdeaEncore)
can download her file at their convenience. Within the first few days dozens
of people downloaded her document. Because she chose to receive an email each
time her resource is downloaded, she knows a little about each group that has
benefited from her work and can protect her intellectual property, in case of
misuse.
Excited by the potential, she began uploaded more original
files / resources, including The Six Hour Strategic Plan,
that she offered for $5 . Within the first day, she sold her first resource
through IdeaEncore.
Since then, Marilyn has created and uploaded over a dozen
resources on a variety of topics, from financial audits to risk management to
boards of directors to volunteer management. So far, her resources have
received over 2,600 views and over 450 downloads. Way to go, Marilyn!
With just a bit of work to upload her files, Marilyn has helped hundreds of
nonprofit colleagues and earned over $400 in revenue!
"IdeaEncore has provided me with an incredible way
to share my experience and knowledge and, at the same time, leave a legacy to
young nonprofit professionals," Marilyn added, "I have also been
contacted by a publisher in London who wants to publish the "Hour" series
internationally. I am amazed at the response to my uploads. What
an incredible way to transmit useable information."

that Marilyn has shared on IdeaEncore.
