$$$ RAW SPIRIT AFFILIATE PROGRAM IS AN EASY FUNDRAISER FOR YOU. PAY YOUR WAY TO THE FESTIVAL PLUS!
Raw Spirit is offering a 10% referral finders fee to YOU if you become an affiliate (it's easy and free). An affiliate is someone who lets people know about Raw Spirit in casual conversations and especially via the internet. We would like to thank you for spreading the word about what is most important to many of us - health, the environment, creative arts, music, celebration, community, peace, fun and lovingkindness. The enthusiastic response among friends has been overwhelming. We will be sending a separate email on Feb 25th explaining the affiliate program. So be prepared to receive that email so you may sign up prior to March 1st, ready for your Facebook friends and email lists to buy through you. The smart computer program remembers the originator (first affiliate's banner). We will provide a variety of beautiful banners and optional scripts that you can use. Once it's set up, you simply let your computer do the work. You will create a username and password for your private page that only you can view which shows exactly who paid, how much they paid, and the commission to you. We encourage you to test it so you can feel assured of the accuracy of this program by inviting a friend to buy a ticket. Within minutes that friend's name will pop up onto your screen. Upon your arrival at Raw Spirit International Festival, a check will be handed to you stapled to your entire list of those you referred.

A few words from presenter Chad Vandenberg:
IS IT TRUE? Are raw fooder's really more entrepreneurial than the typical junk food eater?
We think so! And that's why I am excited to be able to get this email out in time for you to receive a very special gift, and you can redeem it TONIGHT. What I am about to share with your came to be only yesterday as a culmination of a stream of synchronicities that landed most of you reading this a seat with a 25 year old meditator and superfood enthusiast who people often spend $25,000 per person for just three days of his time! Why? Because this dynamic young multi-millionaire genius (who I first met at a Raw Spirit Festival) has developed and perfected a methodology for transforming your true gifts, talents and unique character into a 6-figure income on line. He has successfully mentored 100s of people to become successful entrepreneurs by surpassing the difficulty many have experienced in internet-based home-based business. I'm exited to have scored some seats to this event! Seating is limited to 1000 and the majority have already been qualified for. This newsletter goes out to thousands. You do the math. If you can't get a seat then get together with someone who has a seat! Raw treats, friends and a live internet-based event to ignite your entrepreneurial success in 2010! Have a great time!... I expect to see you all in radiant abundance at Raw Spirit International!  https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/292196955
