Give And It Shall Come Back To You

Monday, Oct 8th, 2007 by Jonathan Volk

A common theme I’ve been seeing recently amongst some of the more successful affiliate marketers is an emphasis on giving.

I have always believed that giving to others who are less fortunate is a essential part of life.

It’s neat to find posts such as THIS one by UberAffiliate.com, or THIS one on how John Chow raised $3700+ for a soup kitchen!

I personally have sponsored a great kid in Africa named Mwineivan. I get letters and photos from him once every 6 months or so. My girlfriend, Maria, was the one who picked him out (over a year ago now) and so we both have a connection to him.

It only costs me $30 / month to sponsor him and I do it through a network called CCC. I like them the best simply because I know the Founder personally. What a great woman she is. They only take out like 10% for administration costs which is a lot lower than almost all the other places I have looked into. Most take about 20% for administration costs.

Let’s face it. When we die, no matter how many toys we have, we still die and (at least according to my beliefs) we cant take anything with us. If we invest into peoples lives, it’s really something that lasts forever. At least that’s how I look at it.

More updates about affiliate marketing coming soon :P
