Update On New Site

A few weeks ago, I announced the opening of the new site, http://rallyandprotest.com. As of yet, there have been no listings but most of that is on me. There are a few challenges involved.

Some challenges are obvious. I haven’t had a great amount of time to devote to the site. So it doesn’t look quite as professional as I would like it to just yet. I’ll be working on it more.

Another challenge is money. Until the site starts getting listings, I can’t afford much in the way of advertising. Without spending money on advertising, I’m less likely to get listings.

If a site has no visibility, no matter how low pricing is, many groups or candidates are rightfully hesitant to post any listings.

Things are changing and I may have more time in a few weeks. My employer has hired two more nurses for my shift. Since I work PRN (as needed), it’s likely I will have fewer hours. Obviously, that will mean less income but it also means more time to devote to the site and to my writing.

One thought struck me a couple of nights ago. This site would be eligible for grants from various organizations. Before that can happen, I have to get the site listed as a nonprofit. That will cost money and take some work but it has to be done. Then I will probably have to establish a business bank account for it. I’m doing research into all the above to get it done. One aspect is that I will have to find people willing to be board members, a requirement for nonprofits.
