The NEW FACE of  “Do Gooders”:

One of my fellow Next Internet Millionaire contestants, Jason Marshall,  is getting ready to do an online fundraising for his student, who is confined to a wheelchair, in order to buy a wheelchair accessible van to drive him around. He is doing this by holding a product launch where many internet marketers are donating the products to be sold and  promoting to their lists. (You’ll hear about the details soon as I’ve agreed to help.)

Another woman I met, Joanie Winberg,  has just launched a membership community site for women going through divorce. As one of her “Panel of Experts”, I agreed to be a resource for women on her site who may need some direction in building in some income from internet marketing to help them not only survive, but thrive!

On April 5th, GutZy Women will be holding a special educational event specifically to share valuable pointers with women artists on how to better market and sell their art or artistic services. The event is in conjunction with SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now) a grassroots effort that is being coordinated by The Fund for Women Artists through its websites. This Nonprofit has provided me with a national website and promotional tools already in place so that we can co-promote, me to my list and them to the world.

Hayley Solich from Australia, a gal I met through the “Virtual GutZy Women Clubhouse“,  just launched her Women Can International, Inc. As I have been asked to be featured in her next newsletter, GutZy Women LLC will gain the attention of other women who are passionate about helping us all be the best we can be as we offer our gifts and talents to the world. We in turn will reciprocate…probably by holding a teleseminar interview with Hayley.

These are just a few real, close to home examples of how this new way of “cause marketing” is being created by possibility thinkers online.

This really got me thinking…

WHAT ARE THE STATS?

I used the study titled “Blogging for Donor’s Hearts” done by the University of Massachusetts in my research for this article that analyzed social media use in the largest charities in the United States.

Join the International Movement for Women in the Arts!

Do you just want the short and sweet version?

In conjunction with SWAN Day and Women’s History Month, GutZy Women LLC, Dream Teller Video and The Sports Garden are PROUD to PRESENT :

“The GutZy Business of Women Creating” … a very special workshop, expo and celebration happening on Saturday, April 5, 2008.  Learn valuable information, enjoy lunch, support women artists, be entertained, display your wares, discover new resources, laugh, chat, have FUN!

10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

The Sports Garden Complex, 605 N. Pueblo Blvd., Pueblo, Colorado, 81003.

PLUS…Take notice of “The GRAND FINALE”….

Especially designed for your Friends, Family and Fans:

From 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM the event turns into a FREE OPEN HOUSE with entertainment, refreshments and munchies…open to ANYONE wanting to network, support, encourage or get to know our female artists creating in all sorts of different mediums. We’re talking Visual arts, Theater arts, Language arts, Musical arts, WHATEVER!

What’s in it for YOU?

Well, do you want to reap the rewards of your talents, gifts & abilities???

From morning to afternoon, women artists of ALL DISCIPLINES can learn how to:

• Make more money selling their creations or services.

• Get more exposure using traditional as well as new Internet marketing and multi-media strategies and techniques.

• travel less, work less, spend less while marketing their art forms.

• Meet, get to know, and team up with other female artists who have had successes themselves.

• Gain more support and encouragement as a result of joining forces with other national and international organizations that support women in the arts.

If you’re an artist…you LOVE creating your ART…you are PASSIONATE about it and more often than not, you have mixed feelings about making a living from it.

That’s OK…maybe you just want to make a difference in the world by getting your creations out into the world and it’s NOT about the money. Maybe it’s more about how can you get more people to see it, hear it or experience it and then recognize, admire and promote your talent or gifts.

Maybe you feel your art has the potential to heal, enliven, enrich, or positively affect other people’s lives and selling it or promoting it feels uncomfortable, cheapens it or is in opposition to the reasons you do it. If you are a typical right brained person, marketing your art is really the LAST thing you want to do. Yet it’s probably better than being forced to take a job you HATE just in order to survive.

Maybe you have a career, job or some other business, but you wish you could quit and do what you REALLY LOVE, are passionate about, or feel is your REAL PURPOSE in life, instead. If so….what do you stand to lose by attending this one of a kind, never before offered event in Pueblo Colorado? TIME? MONEY? UNCERTAINTY? GUILT? POVERTY STATUS? (just kidding:)

Open up to the UNIVERSE and the infinite FIELD of POSSIBILITIES. This is a UNIQUE opportunity and may never be offered again.

Your tiny investment will come back to you EXPONENTIALLY when you take responsibility for opening up your gifts, talents, beauty, creations, messages out into the world…with LOTS of support from your friends, colleagues, peers, teachers, clients, providers and mentors.
