Support MBA Depot

Not a shameless plea for money
What does it take to keep MBA Depot up and running? A tremendous passion for continuous business learning, the ability to juggle many tasks simultaneously . . . and some generous and loyal members and sponsors. I run a lean (mostly just yours truly) and FREE (with plans to keep it that way) operation -- but it nonetheless requires various resources to do so. So, please read on for some painless (really!) ways you can help. All the options listed are needed and will be greatly appreciated.

1. Advertise (or convince someone to advertise) on MBA Depot
MBA Depot is supported financially primarily via an advertising model. While I also accept and encourage monetary donations (see below), why not first support the site financially with a win-win option? The audience of MBAs and managers makes for a very desirable demographic to target. So, if you are responsible for your company's (or MBA program's) advertising plans or know who is, please consider advertising with MBA Depot.

2. Tell Others About MBA Depot
Because MBA Depot uses an advertising model, it is important to get as many page views and newsletter subscribers as possible. Many users like you have been very helpful in spreading the word to your colleagues and many websites link to us. As a result the site has been growing steadily in popularity since it launched. Still, I want even more people to know about the site and use it regularly. So, please encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to give us a visit. And if you participate in a newsgroup or listserv whose members would benefit from the site, please let them know about it as well (though please don't do so if they would consider the message to be spam - a practice MBA Depot never supports).

3. Purchase a copy of MBA Boost
MBA Boost is a product that I originally created during my MBA days to serve as a review kit for typical "core" MBA courses in top U.S. MBA programs. It contains some great tools and information that isn't available on MBA Depot. By purchasing MBA Boost you can enjoy the benefits it offers while also helping to support the work I do on this site!

4. Add Links to Your MBA Program
If you have visited the My School section you know that it provides internal school links in a variety of categories. In the early days I added most of these myself, but recently I just am too swamped to do so. However, as a registered member you are able to add links yourself and I ask that you take some time to do so. Actually, in the process you will be doing a great service for your program as many prospective MBA visitors use this section to find useful program links.

5. Make a financial contribution - any amount is appreciated
O.K. so here it is - me begging for dollars (at least I put it at the bottom of the page...). If you appreciate the work I am doing on this site, I would love for you to show that appreciation with a donation of ANY AMOUNT (actually, I think $1.00 might be the minimum).

To do so, I have created an account with PayPal, an online payment service that lets you send money to anyone who has an email address. You can use a credit card (or if a PayPal account holder, the money in your PayPal account) to pay for the transaction. To send a contribution, just click one of the buttons and it will bring you to a secure page where you can specify the amount you want to contribute. [NOTE: I run MBA Depot under the corporate name Equinox Enterprises LLC]

THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MBA DEPOT - AND HOPEFULLY YOUR SUPPORT!
