Each year, Juli Waddell seems to double FlipGive’s potential. In 2014 the team earned $261 for the Markham Waxers, and she saw potential. Next year, she earned $798, then $1,419. Finally last year topped out at $2,576.
That’s great, but what’s awesome is that Juli shared with us how she’s been doing it – and it’s not complicated.
