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!

You don’t have to come up with all the great ideas on your own, when it comes to succeeding online. You want to keep an open mind and listen to what others say about online marketing. I have learned so much from my online friends and I hope to learn even more from them in the future.

We have been online and using Facebook, Twitter, and FriendFeed to converse with other marketers and even have started playing some of the online games that are offered like at Facebook. You can earn chips or buy facebook poker chips online through the approved sellers like Zynga, or I just found out by logging in you can send your friends free chips. The interaction is great and it is a great way to work and play while surfing the social networking community. If you are searching for new connections just do a search engine search for the social networking websites that exits out there today. A lot of new ones have come out in the last year or so and they have huge membership bases and these are people wanting to make online contacts.

social_gaminOpen up a new stream of marketing today and search for more online friends. Bounce ideas and suggestions off one another and share all your marketing secrets with your new friends. You will find that your new online friends are one of the best marketing tools that you could have ever dreamed about. Just remember that you don’t know everything and regardless of how many years of experience you have, you can learn something from a newbie just as easy as a professional online marketer, if you will leave your egos at the door and try to learn from each person you meet!
