Have you ever been in a position that needed to collect volunteers for an event?  If you have, you probably either emailed a spreadsheet around, printed one out, and passed it to friends, or tried to use your email as a way to corral everyone’s responses.

YUCK!

I found a better way!, and it’s easy and free (two of my favorite words).

.
A company called “MySignUp.com” created an online signup form system that works like a charm.  Not too many bells and whistles to confuse things, but just a simple clickity click sign up form.

Take a look at www.mysignup.com.

I also recorded a 15 minute training video on exactly how to use it if your interested (just press the play button).

UPDATE – As noted in one of the comments below, I completely blew the section about the URL (it was off screen).  All I was talking about is the shaded area in the image below – use that URL (the one you create).  I made the mistake of looking at the browsers address bar and copying the url once I went to the signup page (which is a much more complicated URL).  Just use the URL you create in the shaded area of the picture below, and you’ll be fine.  Click the picture to make it larger.
