You can find so many interesting, as well as remarkable, items on the Internet.\u00a0 Truthfully, you can find just about anything.\u00a0 Several years ago, I stopped at a used instrument store and found a guitar I thought was a little overpriced, especially for the condition it was in.\u00a0 I went next door to one of the local coffee\/bakery\/salad and sandwich chains for some lunch and\u00a0surfed\u00a0a couple of Web sites on my mobile device which confirmed my thoughts…but\u00a0the price\u00a0wasn’t off by much.<\/p>\n

In other Web searches, I once found a Web site that sold an eBook for $17 which offered help for schools to increase their enrollment.\u00a0 What does it suggest?\u00a0 Find remarkable things about your school, then spread that news through social networking.\u00a0 If you’ve been a visitor to this site, you’ve already received similar information at no cost!<\/p>\n

Also, if you visit SchoolAdvancement, you’ll also realize there’s something not quite correct about that premise.\u00a0 Marketing doesn’t increase enrollment; successful marketing increases inquires<\/em> to your school.\u00a0 How you handle, cultivate, and shepherd those parents and guardians that have inquired is how you increase your school’s enrollment.<\/p>\n

The eBook that’s offered, however, is a remarkable<\/em> way for someone to make $17 when schools are desperately seeking any<\/em> solution to help with their enrollment difficulties.\u00a0 Enrollment and marketing texts aside, there are many programs on the Internet today that claim to help anyone with a computer and an Internet connection begin their own business.\u00a0 I’m sure some of you may have been captivated by some of them, and, perhaps, some of you may have indeed created a successful home-based business.\u00a0 The point is that computer-based businesses are touted today as that “part-time” or “second” job which so many people need today in order to “make ends meet.”<\/p>\n

However, when you see that restaurants can’t find workers and close, or that the mail is incredibly slow, you may be wondering why employers can’t find employees.<\/p>\n

In many cases, their “side hustle” has turning into a profitable business where they don’t need to work for sub-par wages and tips while receiving abuse from belligerent customers.<\/p>\n

For many faith-based schools today, this type of need is also necessary.\u00a0 Faith-based and private schools need to “seek outside sources of funds” so they can continue to fulfill their mission, rather than continue to lay the entire financial burden of the school’s operations on the shoulders of its parents and guardians through tuition.\u00a0 Most of the time, those “outside sources” are considered to be a school’s alumni, businesses in the community, community members and other donors who support the mission of the school and the “remarkable” things it does successfully.<\/p>\n

But let’s explore a little deeper.\u00a0 While some “remarkable” things about your school might include a “buddy system” of your school’s students (5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders are “buddied up” with children in the lower grades, spending some time reading to them, eating lunch together or attending Mass together to help build community in your school), a mentoring program for new parents to experience, or a sign language program so students are proficient when they “graduate” from your school, there are also some remarkable attributes your school can adopt which also raise funds at the same time.\u00a0 The most common one is before-school and after-school care and instructional programs for your school’s students.\u00a0 But consider these:<\/p>\n
