Description
The land next to our property which our animals enjoy the benefit of is now up for sale along with the property we rent. To try and find a way to raise funds to not only put a deposit down to buy the land but create ongoing monthly funds to feed, support and care for all these animals on an ongoing basis and build provision to foster many more abandoned animals I have written a book. The book tells the story of our rescue dogs in their own words and was originally written to help me raise necessary funds for buying the land and a link to the website I created where people could register for just 2 euros per month to get monthly 'pupdates' about our dogs and any new fosters we take on. I spent the first few months once my book was finished trying to market it and got a couple of articles in newspapers and a radio interview. I also printed 1000 copies and offered to give a percentage of each book sale to charity to no avail. My reviews on Amazon are good and I know as a professional writer the writing quality and emotion are there but I also realise this is all about professional PR and endorsement. I am not declaring myself as a charity, if people choose to buy the book, donate to get the book or register for monthly updates they are getting something for their money but I need this to work as time is running out for us so I need a strategic plan as animal welfare and the horrific treatment of animals is a well known problem in Cyprus. See www.cyprusstrays.com for a better understanding. Please only apply if you truly think you can get me measurable results and help me raise both awareness and substantial funds without spending loads of money which I have already done through publishing and facebook advertising. Please note the book is already for sale in print on Amazon and kindle format on Amazon with 5 star reviews.

Natalie - I want to wish you the best of luck - I don't think I personally can help you with this venture, but as an animal rescuer myself, I take my hat off to you and I will be purchasing your book in support. You are an inspiration, go you!!!!

Hi Natalie — can you offer an idea of where your target audience is predominantly located (Cyprus? UK? Elsewhere in Europe?), your timescale, and a ballpark idea of your budget. Many thanks.
Natalie R.28 Jun 2018Thank you for question. I am looking to raise around 50,000 Euros. This will secure the land or if the property sells before then will help me secure alternative land. I think the best target is europe particularly the UK. When I marketed before the UK were by far the biggest response. Cyprus itself is where the problem lies and over 50 percent of the population of 1 million people here are the ones dumping the animals so not really the target.
Eugenie V.30 Jun 2018Thanks. Please can you also give an idea of your budget for this job and your timeline.
