Membership Cost - Member's Contribution to Pages
Cost overview and member page creation outline.
Membership is tax deductible as an Association Dues expense. The SBN has not yet acquired non-profit status and does not give tax advice. In general when a business pays for an association membership that will promote their business, they are allowed to deduct the expense.

Consult your tax advisor before you assume that you are eligible for this deduction.
Membership includes a Member Page.

A Member Page includes two modules. An introduction module and a text/write type module. The introduction module is often included in news flashes or featured on the Home Page or other promotional.Members are responsible for the content that is in the modules. Text / Write type modules may be edited by the member who created them as many times as they would like. This is a great way to update seasonal information or to add, edit, or remove hyperlink details. Introduction modules are always accessible in edit, but we ask as a courtesy that any editing needs to this part of the Member Page is preceded with a note to the administrator. Primarily because that is the part of the page that is included in other site sections and changes may change the layouts of the promotional presentations.The modules do have graphic capabilities (linking from your hosted images), and will allow simple HTML. The editor is capable of creating tables and basic functions such as centering text and images without html. The html source editor that is used in the modules is Tiny_MCE so advanced users will have a lot of options when creating content.

Membership cost is $24.95 per year.For a Limited Time - Purchase a 3 Month hosting service package and receive a Year Membership Free! (Minimum purchase for this special offer is $21.95)For More Information about hosting go to the GypsyOwl Commerce Hosting Services LensTo Claim Your Free Year SBN Membership Contact Lensmaster GypsyOwl and submit your 3 month hosting service invoice number.

Annual membership is paid through paypal.Members who opt in for automatic renewal will never have an increase in membership cost. Continual enrollment will ensure this.
Additional Services - Members & Non-Members

The SBN has an account with a reliable and affordable hosting service. The service has provided the SBN with a portal that will outline the options. These services have costs NOT included in Membership enrollment.To name a few: Hosting - Quick to Build websites - Optional software , that is free but not as easy to use for beginners - however worth learning for optimization of the site - Domain registrations and security certificates - and with every Hosting Service purchase there are numerous FREE add on options available.

Management for Non-Profit Organizations
Volunteers Are The Workforce

Non-Profit Organizations have an opportunity to create extraordinary changes in the global challenges today. We will always have for-profit commerce, and governmental resources; What non-profit can do is balance them out.Where government and/or for-profit business leaves off, non-profit can fill in the gaps. In theory, a non-profit can set the bar for the other organizations to follow. Non-profit does not seek to challenge other entities, it will focus on what is lacking in the system and seek to improve the world that we live in.
Some very good reading on the topic of non-profit leadership, management, and organizational concepts can be found in the following books.

You are Not a Small Business? - No Problem!
Large companies have taken notice of our network and want to join.
Large companies are welcome with an additional contribution. This is negotiated individually with each company.
For Example:A Large company may offer an affiliate program which will increase annual contributions based on performance. This is an acceptable way to help the SBN with expenses and the Branding is good for our search results as well.We are not soliciting large business, and have even turned down many inquiries because the nature of the company did not 'fit' well with the community.
