The holidays are a wonderful time to celebrate with friends and family. We go to all those get-togethers and parties. We indulge way more than we should and set ourselves up for a couple New Year’s resolutions that we most likely won’t keep.
But the holidays are also a time for giving. After all, isn’t that the reason for the season anyway?
Well in that vein, I found out about a tremendous charity idea this morning that I wanted to share with all you success oriented business blogging types out there.
The folks over at Gifter.org have come up with an amazingly simple idea to leverage the power of the blog into a massive charitable giving campaign.
What they’ve done is set up the Million Dollar Blog Post. They are working toward getting a million comments on one post. Each person who chooses to, comments about their single biggest wish for the world.
Each comment represents $1 donated to charity. In the true spirit of giving they don’t even care if the donations are given to their organization or somewhere else.
I went and left my comment.
And they can count my wife and I in for a donation too.
Go check them out. Make a wish. Spread the word.
Chris – you rock. Simple as that. I’ve added your gift to gifter.org – where you’ve now sponsored 1,039 wishes!
Now all we need is to find 1,039 people to use up your wishes and help make this world a better place.
Happy holidays.
Me, a rocker? That’s one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while, Ben!
You guys are doing something very positive over there at Gifter. I’m glad to do my little part to help y’all out.
The rest of you heard Ben, didn’t you? Go on over to the Million Dollar Blog Post and share your own wish to make the world a better place!
Now that’s a excellent idea! I wonder why no one thought of this sooner.
Will do!
What a great idea, like the million dollar home page but for charity, I love it
Is there an update on this as to how they are going?
Cheers Don.
That’s really a great idea, so long as the person make the promised monetary contribution. I ran a similar charity campaign when blogs first started becoming popular. We had some success. I will keep an eye on how well Gifter.org’s campaign goes. I’m glad to see that it can work today.
Sure! that’s great. 1039 wishes! wow!
