Helping others is always good too
Today is a good day to give back and here are three ways to do it and gain something for your self while helping others.
The biggest will probably be Joel Comm’s Twitter Power Tweet -A – Thon starting at 12 noon est and running til midnight. It will be raising funds for Water Is Life which provides clean drinking water for children.
There will be a number of celebrities, giveaways and much more across both Ustream and Twitter. Should be a good time for all and there are many lessons to be learned by watching how this is put together. Best of all it benefits kids.
The second item today is Ryan’s Tribute. I will be participating along with quite a few others to raise funds in memory of Jason Fladlien’s brother who dies of cancer at age 8. You will get some great training and help a family recover and honor a brave boy. Monday I will be doing a content filled teleseminar to help provide extra content for this. Hope to see you there.
Finally the American Cancer Society is something I support because that disease cost me my father. Jon Atwood is taking part in a fund raiser for them and if you care to contribute you can help Jon with this as part of the Hope on the Slopes campaign.
All three are good causes and I hope you will join me in supporting them.
Will be back to our regularly scheduled marketing tips tomorrow.

I also support American Cancer Society. Cancer has taken several of my friends and relatives – Inclucing my father, grandmother and mother-in-law.
Even in these tough times we need to continue to be charitable.

These are all great causes Mike and ones that I think we should all support. I think we all have either lost someone or know of a friend who we may have lost or they have lost someone. And Water Is Life. Thank you for bringing them out to us all.

Thank you for mentioning these worthy causes. Donating our time and money is one of the best things we can do for someone else in need.
