What percentage of your money earned from IM do you donate?

7 replies
Hello friends,

I believe money is important in life but helping the under privileged who do not have any matters a lot. Do we have top internet marketers over here who believe in giving back to society?. What % of your monthly or annual earnings from IM do you donate.

Please share your thoughts.

    Hey Andy,

    I'm very passionate about philanthropy and conservation, so I am always thinking about how I can make a change in the world. Instead of just giving money away all the time, I like thinking about how I can set up special ways to help charities and scientists.

    For example, instead of a niche site to promote an affiliate product, you could set up a fan blog or something, pointing people to an important research project or a charity. A successful marketer can push a site like this to the first page of google and provide more exposure to the public. Sometimes this can be more powerful than just donating. Perhaps you could even make it so that people end up donating to the cause presented to them. Just imagine the possibilities our abilities can add to a small research group that is always struggling to get a bit of money to fund their research.
    Instead of setting up a money site for yourself, set up a money site for a charity. If you are a successful marketer, your abilities to make money are worth more than just a donation. Besides, we all have passion for IM, I presume. So setting something like this up is interesting and fun!

    As a starting point, I try to remember to donate 10% of everything I earn, online or off. I don't always remember, however!

    Well I usually give money to beggars. I don't make much, but considering that I have a decent life I can also give to others some change. It's not much, but maybe someday it will be possible to give more.

    I do set aside some amount of money for charitable purposes each month. I try to give something that would be meaningful to those receiving it.

    When I was a teenager, I never really thought of myself as someone who would give to charity often. But once you start doing it and experience the associated feelings, there's no stopping!

    Giving freely has got to be one of the most powerful and wonderful things you can do on this planet.
