Social Vibe is a site I just found out about. I was so impressed by it, I had to share it right away.
Tonight, a fellow Yuwie Yuwie friend told me about it and I decided to immediately check it out. While currently I don't have enough money to give to charities, this does not mean that by simple efforts, I can't help various important social causes. I thought it wouldn't hurt to see what it was all about.
It is a completely free of charge program. This, of course, was music to my ears. By simply signing up for SocialVibe and taking about 10-15 minutes to answer questions like, what is your favorite music, you can become sponsored by your favorite brands. They also give you the option to choose the cause you feel most passionately about. I choose education as my cause and Victoria Secret as my sponsor. Within minutes, by signing up, I had raised $1, 745 for my cause! I was completely stunned!
Because of the incredible results, I thought, I wonder if I can be sponsored by more than one brand? So I investigated this possibility.
I choose Nike. After answering about 5 more minutes of questions, like magic, I had another sponsor! I thought well, why not try another? You never know what you can come up with if you don't try. But, it appears that you can only be sponsored by two brands. I guess there had to be a limit somewhere in their program!
Now, the next step is to embed the html code for your brand's logo on your MySpace or Yuwie page, or whatever social networking site you choose to.
SocialVibe rewards you for keeping their logo up for a certain amount of days with points that can be used for various items they specify. For me this part wasn't as big of an incentive as knowing that I can be raising important funds, just by promoting my favorite brands. It's a win-win situation for everyone and I'm always up for such opportunities. Just knowing that about 10-20 minutes of my time raised almost 2k for an important cause opened my eyes to the fact that there is so much we can do to better this world that, in the busy rush of our days; there are opportunities that are creative and convenient.
So remember everyone - take care of yourself and each other. Best wishes to all.
