If you have just stumbled upon this blog, I'll give you a quick synopsis what this blog is about.
It's about raising funds for Irish charities, how to go about it and in the meantime, also working out my own fundraising ideas.
My main plan is to raise funds by selling little leather soft leather babyshoes, whereby a part of each sale goes to the buyers favourite charity. The buyer can be a retailer who would buy from me, or just a consumer who buys online on my website.
My website ? http://www.littlebabysteps.eu
I am not quite ready yet, as I need to work out a few things, both on a design level of the shoes and packaging & marketing, but, and that's probably the most important part - the payment method that I will use , as I would like to find a way that me as the seller, only really functions as facilitator between the consumer/shop and the charity, but I don't actually want to handle the charity funds. More about this in another post.
Raising funds is hard, so I believe it's very important to have a good webpresence and use the web as a tool to promote the fundraising idea and engage with charities, and other business who are on line, to make this effort as for carrying as possible.
So this week I wanted to talk about creating a logo for my website.
I have been looking at various "Free" websites, but often you'll find that it is free to create the logo, but then when you want the actual logo, you need to pay for it. Other ones are free, but you'll find a watermark on the logo, so it doesn't look very professional, or maybe not as professional as I would like it to be. I'd recommend you Google Free Logo, create a free logo, logos for free and every other variotion of that, and you'll find plenty of choice.
One site that's definately free is http://www.cooltext.com
I have created the below banner/logo there:

There are quite a few websites that will let you create a logo for free, and give you a low resolution jpeg of your logo. In my case, that's fine for now, so I created the following logo via
http://www.tweak.com

I found this link that gives you 33 Logo design services of creating a business logo, you'll see some are entirely free, others aren't.
My next blogpost will be about adding a mailing list to your website, blog, Facebook page.
Thanks for passing by!
