INCK For Community Organizations

The Homepages aspect of INCK are of particular importance to our local organizations – please read carefully to learn how you can benefit your organization with INCK Homepages.

Win $5,000 For Your Organization.

We are offering a $5,000 prize to the organization whose homepage gets the most usership in a 6 month period.

Similar to the popular “Voting” exposure campaigns, users opt to use the homepage of the group they would most like to see win the $5,000 prize.

Instead of actually voting however, each time the user opens their browser and views your homepage, our statistics will log the visit, and each visit will count as a “vote” for your page.

By tracking the usage statistics on each homepage, we then award the winner with the highest number of visits as per our usage statistics tracking.

Here’s How To Participate:

1. Request an INCK homepage for your organization, and we will create one for you. (See Example)
2. Use it as the default homepage in your own browser.
3. Encourage friends, family and co-workers to use your homepage in their browser
4. Share your homepage on Facebook, and invite the public to support you by using your homepage.
5. Ask others within your organization to do the same.

By using your INCK Community Homepages as the default homepage in your browser, you will be able to:

• enjoy local news and information
• contribute community news and information – keeping your organization on the public’s radar at all times
• take part in local discussions
• discover other groups
• meet new friends with similar interests

INCK offers a unique opportunity for three pillars of our community – local media, local businesses and local organizations – to engage in a co-operative initiative that benefits each participant.

INCK Ads Benefit Businesses, Organizations and Media.

INCK is a local media site that will be funded through selling advertising to local businesses.

Our INCK Ad Package for businesses sells for $29.99/mo. ($359.88/a). (Learn More About The Ad Offer For Businesses.)

Instead of paying a salesperson for each sale, we have opted to offer $100 to any local organization who refers a business to sign up for our INCK Ad Package for a year.

If the business you refer stays for a second year, you will automatically receive $100 from INCK again next year, and so on. Each year the business stays as an INCK advertiser, and leaves you as their organization of choice, you will continue to receive your $100 donation.

This allows organizations to raise funds for their cause, offers businesses an excellent advertising value, and supports local media to continue offering valuable community supports such as the INCK Network.

Here’s How To Participate:

1. Register your organization on INCK by creating a group in the name of your organization.
2. Make contact with local business owners directing them to review the INCK Ad offer and name your organization as their choice to receive the $100 donation.
3. Ask others within your organization to do the same.

Our community organizations need a way to be easily found, and communicate with their local audience. By creating an INCK Group, you are able to:

• Share your goals and your message with a large audience.
• Attract and invite new members to volunteer, participate or donate.
• Organize events and post them for the public.
• Facilitate discussion forums about subjects relating to your organization.
• Create a free website for your local group. (see more below.)

Does your organization have a website? INCK offers free websites and blogs to all local community groups.

When you post to your INCK website, the content will be published across the INCK network and links may be featured on other local sites such as CKDP.ca etc.

This is a great way to leverage the web AND local media to reach your audience with your message – any time you choose.

If you are interested in creating a site for your community organization, please click here.

(Those interested in creating a site that is commercial in nature, please visit the INCK For Businesses page for details.)

Our sites allow you as the administrator to:

• Create unlimited posts and pages.
• Include images and video.
• Manage your content into different categories.

Assistance with design options is available, please visit the INCK Network Sites page for details.

If you have an idea that you’ve been sitting on, why not share it with the INCK community?:

Part of the goal of INCK is to find and assist people with ideas, and help them to develop them through the co-operation and collaboration of the community.

Whether your idea is personal, business-related, or an idea that will benefit the whole community, create a group for it, and pose your ideas and suggestions to our members, and see what happens!

Or, simply browse through other’s Project ideas, and lend a hand to make them happen.
