That's a pint of beer here in the UK. If Michael was closer to me, I'd love to buy him a beer or three each month - wouldn't you?

I'm obviously 'in' - if anyone else is interested perhaps we can ask Big Mike to set things up?

Count me in!

Re: Michael Tracey Desperately Needs Our Help!

I wish I could thank everyone individually for their donations and prayers, I can't
I wish I could thank Big Mike and Allen enough for what they've done, I can't
I wish I could explain to you what the last few days have meant to me, I can't
It's not just the money side, it's the outpouring of love...
Insofar as the donations are concerned perhaps you will get a small idea of what they mean to my familly and I when I say that I have been physically sick at the relief that the donations will bring.
From the bottom of my heart THANKS

Michael

We are all here for you Michael. We've got your back! Get well, and get back on your feet. We need you here.

[Shannon Herod]

Another donation sent.

It is amazing to watch all of this unfold and also to participate in it.

Daniel has really done a great job of detailing everything a newcomer to IM needs to do to get up to speed earning around $3K a month or more. He ran this as a WSO a while back for $$25 and is currently marketing it at $47 - but you can get it right here for $20!

This is limited, so grab your copy in the next 30 minutes or so and I will email the zip file to you!

Daniel - on behalf of Michael and the other members, I want to thank you for your donation and willingness to help a fellow Warrior!

And yes it's a limited one time offer of which 100% profits will be donated to the Michael Tracey fund.

Above is a reminder of one of the offers so it doesn't get lost in the thread like Allen said.

[JayXtreme]

Looks like it is decided then.. woohooo...

A subscription it is...

Count me in 100%

Peace

Hey Charles,

What really matters is that you are here for him now when and where you are most needed kid!


Hey Mike, what's the total?

[milan]

Here is my plan to get an extra $600:

I'll Turn Your Article Into Video for $30!

[Michelle Brouse]

Hey all, how's it going?

Everyone still pitching in there?

I'm off to check the WSO section to see what else has been added. :-)

Thanks!
Michelle

[bledaone]

Hope he get well soon....
I hope that I could help, even just a bit.

Another donation sent thanks to Steve.

I'm still offering to give 30% of the remaining sales in my WS0.

Keep the donations coming Warriors. Everyone is doing a fantastic job. I am so glad to be part of such an awesome community.


Regards,

Shannon

[Bev Clement]

I'm in with the monthly suggestion as well.

The other suggestion is to create a product that Michael can sell and see a residual income from it.

Don't forget my writers workshop, I have given so many advice over my time here about how to run their writing business, now you can get all the answers in one place. 50% is going to Michael.

A monthly subscription arrangement is a fantastic idea. Count me in.

[Raquel]

Big Mike contribution sent.....

I have no product yet, I have no list, I just earn a little from affiliate marketing and just a bummer. I hope I can do more but I sent my verryyyyy little contribution. Hope it can help too..

I also offer my BIG prayers for Michael Tracey and for the kindness of everyone here... I bow my head to all the people in this community.

May I borrow the lines of 3 Musketeers ...Indeed all for one...one for all....

[Adam Jackson]

I'm all for the monthly sub. Hell, I feel like I owe him back pay. Let's do this.

Adam

[Mary Green]

Bev has a great idea. What if he set up a program where he shared his affiliate link for some programs, like hostgator and we could all write an article or do something to promote his link. Even if someone set up a site with his affiliate link to something residual, we could all send traffic to it as a thank you.

[SharynP]

If we had his paypal and clickbank name or email account we could add him to our affiliate script and use his link for some time.
Fantasos, RAP users or any affiliate script would also get the immediate results for him.
I did the "save our mary" subscription for a year but never heard how she went.
That was a bit amiss I think to be honest here.
Shaz

[BIG Mike]

Morning Folks!

We've done it - thanks to Allen and our members at the Warrior Forum, we met the goal in a mere 5 days - Warriors are freaking awesome!

I know you've all got some great ideas for continuing this, but I have to defer to Michael and what he would want to do. That said, I'm asking him to pop in as soon as he can and let you know where to go from here.

Meanwhile, I'm going to mark the thread closed as the original goal was met and Michael's last comment to me was that this met his needs for resolving the issues he was having.

However, for those of you who would really like to continue helping, one obvious possibility would be to promote his Africhef sales page - linking to it, driving some traffic to it and so forth.

I did the "save our Mary" subscription for a year but never heard how she went. That was a bit amiss I think to be honest here.

Hey Shaz,

We finished up at $17K and change (I think - that's from memory). I had written up and posted about this in the old WF's "How this forum can make you $50K or more thread" to bring closure to it and keep it visible.

I'll leave it to Mary herself to post on her own personal outcome, but as she's still around, creating products and marketing like a madwoman, LOL, I'd say that the efforts the members made to help her paid off

I'm just waiting for PayPal to finish the transaction log so I can post the final numbers. As I did with Mary's, I'm off to my accountant to get the numbers validated and forwarding the info to Michael and Allen. Then I'll pull together a report and post it here in the WF for everyone to see how their efforts paid off.

You've all done such a tremendous thing this week and made an enormous difference in the lives of a family in our community. As I said in my OP, maybe we can't change the state of the global economy, but by God, we stood up up together and made a difference for one of our own!

[SharynP]

Thanks Mike,
I never look at the make lots of money threads
Glad Mary is well, I just never had the heart to ask...if you know what I mean
Thanks, that makes me feel good.
Shaz

[Alice Seba]

That is awesome! Way to go Warriors and all the best to Michael and his family.

[jhongren]

On behalf of our dearest Stanley Tang and Bev Clement, I have donated their prize money from the recent Blog Contest to Michael. =)

Thank you to these two kind-hearted Warrriors for their generosity!

Cheers,
John

[Greg Cooksley]

Hey Big Mike,

Thanks for your effort and to Allen for his support in this exercise...

Warriors - well done!!!!

You're a fantastic bunch....

"it's better to give than it is to receive"

Regards

Greg

[Phil Jones]

Wow, awesome news! All Warriors should be proud of what they have done over the last 5 days for Michael.

[Jason Hodgins]

Ah...

Refreshing to wake up to. Thanks to everyone that helped in any way they could and continue to.

I did what little I could, for this cause I'm glad to see it worked and then some.

Rock on!

[JayXtreme]

Fantastic news.. that's amazing Mike.. and exceptional from warriors..

You guys rock

peace

Hey Shaz,

Nothing amiss here. I've been about as public as I can about what's going on with me considering. Matter of fact, I wrote the whole story in a piece of sales copy for a Joomla special (I think it was) I ran not that long ago, and how this forum, Allen, Mike, and the members of NM helped save my life (literally), and how every penny I make online goes to paying current medical costs.

Am I cured? Nope, not a chance of that, but I can say that at least I have a running start at paying the medical bills to keep my treatments going. That's about $150K a year so far over and above insurance, and trust me, I don't make that with my offline salary.

I make that because of people like you, and the rest of the gang here, everyone's knowledge, and willingness to share ... and their fighting spirit that kept me encouraged, and made me who I am today.

I don't say much about me still being sick because I don't like to play that type of a hand if you know what I mean.

That'd be like spunging off the hand that fed me when I needed it the most, and still feeds me.

Plus there are other factors to consider that I can't disclose publicly.

But if people must know, I still am getting my blood and bone mass built up (which is neverending), and transfusions once in a while when I over do things.

Can I live a normal life? About as normal as someone can get.

Btw, if I ever gave you or anyone else the impression that that fundraiser went amiss, I am sorry you felt that way, and I hope none of you feel that way from now on.

Like I said, if it wasn't for everyone pitching in I wouldn't be alive to tell about it. And for that I am eternally grateful!

Anyway, I hope this clears matters and/or any misconceptions regarding me.

On another note ...

This is Michael's thread, and I hope you keep doing for him like you've all done with me. I know what this means/meant to him, and I cried with him because of the outpouring love both of us experienced here.

I also want to congrate each one of you who pitched in to help us both.

You are remarkable people!


All the best ...


Mary

[Zachary R. Skinner]

Damn we're awesome! :-)

Hell, I wonder how long it would take us to raise $100k?

[Paul M]

That's great news mike,

Without you bringing it to the attention of the warriors this would
never have happend, so I think you more than deserve that drink now

-paul

[Barbara Eyre]

On so many levels, November 2008 will go down in history!

Congrats to New and Veteran Warriors for pulling together, despite any differences, to help a stranger, a friend, a mentor. Just shows that man still cares about his brother/sister.

HUGS!

[ibringjoy]

I feel so proud of the Warrior Forum community. Seeing what we were able to accomplish in a mere 5 days, and how much it helped Michael, just warms my heart. You guys are the best group of people anywhere!

Kathryn

[Sean A McAlister]

Well Done Everyone...and Great job on this Mike!!

There is no denying the heart of the Warrior Forum.

My prayers are with Michael and his family.

[cloudchaser22]

Hi,

I don't know if it's too late, but I just donated $5 to this cause. When this was posted up, I only had 20 cents in my Paypal so I couldn't donate, but then I just realized that there is an option where you can pay through credit/debit card that I forgot existed below. Anyway, sorry if it's too late but I hope this small amount of money can help this guy out.

More than happy to help in any way we can, Michael.

It's one thing to say "be warm and filled" or "good luck with that." This is a group that has stepped up to the plate and actually done something. I'm honored to have been a small part.

All the best to you and your family.

[Robbin]

I know I haven't been an active contributor to the Forums around here in a long time.... but I'm still lurking. Joining the Warriors was the first money I spent online way back over 10 years ago and I've watched this group grow and evolve over time. I am proud to be a part of the Warriors and not surprised one single ioda that this group can pull together and do what it does for others in times of need.

I believe what makes people successful is how they touch others lives and make a difference.

Monthly subscription sounds good. Count me in!

[Spike SpiegelIM]

Congratulations to everyone for meeting the goal in such a short span of time. This thread warms my heart. Wishing Michael all the best from here on..

[Maurice Rigaud]

I don't know either Michael or Mike and despite being late with the donation, I figured any continued amount is of great assistance. I will keep you in my prayers and for God's grace to a healthy recovery Michael.

God bless you, family, Mike and WF members,
Maurice
