If you have ever wanted to use your Twitter or Facebook account for good things then MassiveGood.org may be something that you can get involved with. We were recently made aware of the launch and wanted to do our part in order to help spread the news. There are so many ways to get involved and one of those is through blogging and raising awareness. There are other simple ways in which to get involved by simple shopping through one of their travel partners and look for the Click MassiveGood logo and just click. We have included a short video at the end of this post in order to share what they are involved with. There are some big names that are getting involved in this movement and now you have a chance to make a difference through micro-contributions and bring awareness and help to some of the preventable deaths that take place across the world.

MASSIVEGOOD uses the power of social media to help stop the millions of preventable deaths from HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis and increase maternal and child health in the developing world.
Social networks have revolutionized how we interact. But can they raise awareness and increase funding for some of the most pressing global health issues in the 21st century?

MASSIVEGOOD does both, by creating a worldwide community based on small individual acts of giving. MASSIVEGOOD lets you make a $2 micro-contribution towards major global health causes every time you buy a plane ticket, reserve a hotel room or rent a car.

Available in the USA since early 2010, MASSIVEGOOD allows travelers to make their trip really meaningful and connect with fellow contributors on this website, a social network for those committed to building a healthier world. To ensure that all travelers can make a difference, leaders in the travel and tourism industry have joined with global health organizations to support MASSIVEGOOD in an impressive private-public coalition.

It’s an easy way to do good and connect with others that are doing the same – just click MASSIVEGOOD!

Real Estate Bailout continues through April

If you are looking to buy a home within the next 6 months you may want to look a little harder. The Real Estate Bailout that has been put in place as a means to stimulate the economy will be ending at the end of April. It simply provides up to a $8000 tax credit towards the purchase of a home for qualified home buyers. Some of those requirements can be found in the following video but here are a few highlights:
» First time home buyers or those that have not owned a home in the last three years can receive up to $8K
» The contract must be signed by April 30 and closed by June 30 you can receive the tax credit
» There is an upper limit on the home purchased of $800,000

This tax credit has already added an estimated $22 billion to the economy and it can have a positive impact on the psychological appeal that houses are selling again and give confidence to the overall consumer. The implosion of the mortgage and housing market is what has lead us to the uncertain economic times. So now that you are able to receive a tax credit and enjoy some of the lowest interest rates in over 40 years get out there and find your dream home.

Sharing your stories online

I love to go camping and there is just something about the outdoors that is special. You may think silence doesn’t make a sound, but it actually does. If you stay in the city too long and then get a chance to experience the outdoors, the sound of silence will be very obvious. It’s fun to throw on a pair of tactical pants and grab the fishing rods and camping gear for a weekend in the woods. It’s a chance to bond with nature and it also makes you appreciate the modern conveniences that we get to take advantage of everyday. I have a lot of good memories of going camping and would like to do it again one day. It’s hard for me to leave my computer right now and the bills must get paid. I haven’t been camping recently and I’m sure the next time I go, it will seem like the first time all over again. Staying up all night by a campfire is a great way to waste a night away and there isn’t nothing better tasting than that first meal you have back at home; after you have stayed in the woods a few days. Feel free to share your camping trips through the camping forum at outdoorbasecamp.com or experiences with me and I would love to hear them!

Or send us a tweet on what camping stories that you would like to share and maybe we will create a special list to specifically help those that love the outdoors stay connected.

Get your virtual love letter

You can find web services related articles online that can be used in your blog or website to help bring unique content to your site. Plus for those aspiring writers and bloggers you can submit your article and start your viral marketing campaign. With the right message and branding you can create content and then have it published for free and have hundreds of thousands interested readers looking to add your content to their site. Another great example of creating a viral marketing campaign is what we saw with the Robbins Brothers.

Case Study: What they were able to do was to take a simple concept ” A love note” and make it simple and easy for anyone to log on and create their own. The branding of the store is there and it helps people to think of engagement rings or diamond rings for that special someone. Since it is free and people want to show their work they then forward and post to their blogs and Facebook accounts where others will then want to create their own. So instead of the typical jewelery touting low prices Robbins Brothers have created a emotional link to their brand.

When implementing any type of feed or embedding a video there are basically two types of feeds for those looking to add content to their site JAVA and XML. Java is less complicated and easier for beginners, but the only drawback is that from all we have read is that spiders do not read java code so the impact may not be as a great. The other option. XML feed, is actually the best and will result in a better and faster indexing for your site or blog. Both options are free and provide your site or blog with the latest articles that added on a daily basis. For new sites this is a great option as you establish your presence and move your way up the search engine ladder for your keywords.

There are even construction and service companies that specialize in everything from electrical to waterproofing basement projects that are using social media to attract new customers and keep their current customers up to date on their specials.
