Write to Earn

I thought that today we would take a break from talking about how to make money for ourselves and talk about an organization that uses writers to raise money for the needy. I just got an email from  Soles4Souls Inc. and Epinions announcing their new program that uses shoes reviews to provide shoes for needy people. Here’s what the email had to say:

Soles4Souls Inc. and Epinions

Announce “REVIEWS 4 SHOES”

Shoe charity and online consumer review site create program to provide shoes to needy people worldwide

Attention all shoe lovers, critics and writers: Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity, needs YOUR help!  Just 3 minutes of your time will equal 3 pairs of shoes for kids in need.

How is this possible? Our friends at Epinions.com are always on the lookout for simple, well-written reviews on products from toasters to cars.  Shoe reviews make their website better and gives honest feedback to consumers looking to buy their next pair of sneakers, work boots, fashionable pumps and comfy flip-flops.

Epinions is looking for anyone to write a paragraph or two on your favorite (or least favorite) pair of shoes in your closet. As an incentive, they will donate $5 for EACH REVIEW to Soles4Souls. That equals about 3 pairs of shoes for 3 minutes of work!  

To get started, visit www.epinions.com/shoes and sign up to become a member (it’s fast and free).  Then write some reviews about your pairs of shoes (and if it’s a bad review, you can always donate them to Soles4Souls).  But please, don’t wait too long - this promotion will end on December 31st. So break out your critiquing skills and start writing…some bare soles will thank you for it.
Remember, 3 Minutes = 3 Pairs.
If  you have any questions about this promotion, please visit www.giveshoes.org for details.

 This sounds like a great opportunity for us writers to use our abilities for a good cause.
