messy ?? I am in the process of burning 50 cds ... I am not feeling messy yet ;)
- who will do it ?
My above statement explains that !
- how will you keep track of expenses and revenue (sales)
just mail me the details of the revenues and expenses as and when they occur... I'll put it up on the GLUG site ... this way the whole process remains transparent and all other GLUGs can go green with envy looking at our balance sheet.
- you will need to keep accounts, so that no one can question you later
about the money
My above statement explains that !
- you need to think of matters like income tax, sales tax, etc.
hmmm ... income tax? sales tax? ... since the PLUG has already started doing it ... we dont need to rake our brains over it. They will burn the midnight oil and find the solutions for us. No need to reinvent the wheel. We can learn from the PLUG.
- you need to be a registered organisation, else you can face a lot of
problem
My above statement explains that !
Just a few of the things I can think off the head.
Wow !!
And ofcourse, finally, how much money does the organisation make and whether the efforts justify the amount of profit
Dont think just about CDs .... think about donations ... think about endorsements ... think about banner ads on the GLUG site ... think about .... think about ... think about ... sorry I ran out of ideas :P
