Publisher, Media Specialist and IT Project Manager

I only have less than two days to raise funds to get "Mission Critical" accomplished for speedy transfer of service on a website I purchased recently.  

There isn't much time to advertise nor much money considering I just purchased the business, am hiring an IT development team to deploy upgrades to the platform, and am working round the clock to fund all the operations I have and pay everyone on time. 

I tried hard to avoid cluttering my social media feeds with requests from people for funds, but it has come down to the wire! There is no time to waste to get this one fund paid to move on to work on the development of the core features and upgrades on the platform. ZoomVillage (company I recently acquired) needs to be up and running again! The users must continue to "provide local news coverage all over the world through a world-class CMS system. The site is down due to a server cost that exceeds my budget after the acquisition and budget set aside for my IT team to create upgrades on the platform and monetize it as a profitable business, enabling journalists and marketers across the world to finance their own news enterprises."

ZoomVillage provides a CMS for smaller publishers or organizations. It features citizen journalism tools, optimized web layouts for all sorts of devices and multiple forms of advertising and revenue options for publishers: 

This includes options like display ads, text ads and [sponsored posts coming soon], geographical marketing programs and devices (many more coming) and other great locally focused features for your news and local information guide. 

HashTag:

#$25toSpare?

$25 to spare? I know it's a lot to ask, but fundraising is never the easy part of business. I can personally use this money to build a profound business opportunity for other entrepreneurs like myself and create local news operations that profit and still produce great content and news for their audiences. 

Thanks for your continued support!

Advertising and Marketing
In Mankato, advertising and marketing often fails to connect with the right demographics or fails to provide a good return on investment. In order to succeed in this community, you need to invest in the community but also engage with it.

We work with an advertising and marketing consulting agency in Rochester called Augabout Consulting and network with other industry professionals across the creative and technical services spectrum.

Social media can be complex. You can do it in-house with an inexperienced employee who can't really offer a cohesive content strategy that will convert views to sales. That is where LMP comes into the picture. Our formulas help companies and organizations develop systems and strategies that enable them to engage with people and build relationships tied to customer/client experiences. This leads to loyalty, a better reputation and awareness in the community your business or organization serves. Our Mankato area social media strategy will help you get the most of your connections.
