1 For Charity - Another Badge To Add To Your Blog

Posted May 10, 2008

I see a lot of companies (700+) are now taking part in the “1% for the planet” movement, where 1% of sales are donated to saving the environment, going green, etc.

So when I saw the “1 for charity blogger challenge” it immediately caught my attention. Chad from CDF Networks is challenging bloggers to join in and… Give up one of your ad spaces for charity!

It’s a small change that could really add up, so I jumped on board. The first step was to pick a charity, and I wanted something that could relate to this blog, so I went with Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Here’s a quote from their website:

Big Brothers Big Sisters receives 75% of our funding from private donations. Support from individuals like you is vital to provide mentors for children in your community.

And we know they need them. It isn’t easy being a kid these days. In these complex and confusing times, children need a caring adult to be a mentor and a friend — someone they can talk to, have fun with, and learn from.

I think that fits with my blog nicely. Just think… It isn’t easy being an internet marketer these days. In these complex times, there are more gurus than ever before hawking even more worthless products! Everyone needs someone to check these ebooks out and make fun of them!

And here’s the badge I created:
