Internet Begging
First let's talk about internet begging. Internet begging, also known as cyber begging or internet panhandling, came into existence quickly once the internet started to get popular. The internet gave people a way to reach a large scale audience. So instead of standing on the street corner with a cup and a sign, internet beggars were able to potentially lose the cup and the sign, and reach many more people in the course of one day. There have been a few notable internet begging successes up til now, but none like the Internet Begging Experiment.
My Story
Now personally, I have a story. Some might say it's a sad one. There might be quite a few people who would feel sorry for me. I would go into it, but that's not really the goal of this experiment. It could be argued that I am internet begging, cyber begging or internet panhandling, and by definition, I suppose I am. I'm just a chick, with a kid, and some BIG PLANS! I have big plans for this 1 million dollars and if you are interested in being involved, read some more!
Tell Everyone You Know!
Once I reach my goal of $1 million, I plan to donate 50% of this money to a charity. There's a poll listed in the right sidebar of this page. Here you can give me an idea of how you'd like to see that money donated. The goal is ONE MILLION dollars. YOU can help me spread the word by telling everyone you know about the Internet Begging Experiment. In order to keep the spirit of giving alive, once the Internet Begging Experiment goal of one million dollars is reached, I will form a non-profit corporation, and use the funds that surpass the initial goal to help other people in need. If the goal of $1 million is not reached, I'm keeping it all, so it's up to you to tell people and spread the word so we can get to one million dollars. Paypal, in all it's brilliant wonder, takes about 33 cents off every dollar donated. (Any ideas around that would be appreciated.) So once I reach a million in donations, what's left over, minus the fees, will be split in half for donation. Here's an outline of my intentions for the future of the Internet Begging Experiment...The ultimate goal
After one million of you generously donate $1.00 each, a non-profit corporation will be formed with your continuing generous donations. I have had a dream for a few years to start an organization that can help individual people with individual problems. If you've been in a tight financial situation ever before, you may have thought to yourself, 'If someone would just pay my electric bill, I'd be ok'. Or 'If I could get my hands on 500 or 1,000 bucks, my life would be so much different!' Maybe you need new tires on your car, or maybe you just need a car. Maybe you're behind on your taxes, or the mortgage company is threatening foreclosure. I want to be an instrumental part of handing individual people the help they need to get out of a hole. But I've got to get out my hole first.Help me change the world
So, by donating $1 and then telling all your friends to come by InternetBeggingExperiment.com you will be contributing to a dream that will change the world! I expect media attention on this. Heck, maybe even Oprah will call me. Now that would be fun! Because of the anticipated explosion of this experiment, you will probably find out who I am, though I would like to keep a bit of privacy if at all possible. I will be completely transparent on this and if we get to one million dollars, you will see proof of the charitable donation. Once this experiment is completed and the 1 million dollar goal has been reached, this page will be updated with links to the new site. (I'll need help on that, so if you want to partner up for an exciting, not-for-profit adventure helping regular people with regular problems, let me know.)
