Raise money for the club

Dear Member. We are trialling a new fundraising model that will help the club generate money from social media activity. This service is free for us to use and works by using the expanded social networks of our club members to generate funds. It works on a fairly simple basis in that we post campaigns (commercial messages) from our group on www.knudger.com that appear in our social media networks and once our friends or followers click on the messages the club is paid a donation. We have set up a Ballinrobe GAA on the platform at this link: http://tinyurl.com/aucqaba Instructions 1. Go to and join our group by clicking the link 2. Register your details and social media accounts (you may need your twitter and Facebook user names and passwords) 3. Once in the group click on the Ballsbridge Hotel Promotion 4. Click knudge and if happy with the text click send message. 5. This message with a link will now appear on your social media profile. 6. Club is paid each time your friends click on the link and visit the site The system allows us to add our own text and we all have different way of talking when in our own social networks but it might be useful too add the text ‘Please help us fundraising as Ballinrobe GAA Club is paid for each visit to the link. ‘ The service connects to over 8 social networks so if you have multiple accounts on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or blogs please use them all.
