Advertising Opportunity and Charity Too
One of the things all self-employed, work-from-home Internet entrepreneurs have to do at least once in a while is advertise. I don’t spend money on advertising very often, because I hate spending money, but occasionally I see an opportunity that is worthwhile.
Obviously, getting a good return on your advertising investment is something everyone wants to achieve. Once in a blue moon, however, I don’t even think about the ROI. Sometimes, an advertising opportunity is good no matter how well it ends up paying off. How is that possible?
When you purchase advertising, and all of the money is donated to charity, that’s a good return on your investment already. Never underestimate the power of good will. Donating to worthy charities is good ROI all on its own, and if you get the added bonus of attracting users to your web site, that’s great!
In case you were unaware, I am a staff columnist for Personal Branding Magazine. All proceeds of the magazine are donated to the American Cancer Society. That’s 100% of the proceeds, including all of the advertising revenue. The magazine still has some ad spots available for its next issue which is being published on November 1, 2007, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. You can contact Adam Salamon at aasalamon@gmail.com to arrange for your own ad spot.
If you are interested in getting a great ad spot for a good price, and donating to charity as well, please consider an ad in Personal Branding Magazine. Sure, that sounds like a sales pitch, but it’s actually just good advice.

Donna,
Thanks so much for posting this. Our second issue is going to be fantastic. If you’d like to donate to the American Cancer Association we will give you space for an ad. It’s for a great cause!
It is a great cause, Adam. My mom died of cancer, and I’m sure many of us have been touched in some way by cancer. I’m always happy to contribute to organizations devoted to fighting this disease, and in helping us fight it as well.
There truly is something magical about giving to others. You always recieve a return of the initial investment ten-fold in some way form or fashion. Ofcourse that should not be your reason for giving, but its nice to know that the universal laws play in your favor on that one.
Great looking blog by the way!
