KCKool's Faves

As you might know, Groupon actually evolved out of a website called "The Point," which enabled group action based on the concept of a "tipping point." By delaying action until enough people came together to have a real impact, The Point helped organize people to achieve a common goal.

This mentality of helping others is one we like to carry with us. And so this Monday, May 23, we'll be running a $15 for $35 Groupon at Stand Up To Cancer, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Proceeds from all purchases help fund groundbreaking cancer research that can get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives.

Every day cancer kills 1,500 Americas -- one person every minute 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will get some form of cancer in their lifetimes. Every year, cancer kills more than 560,000 Americans and almost eight million people worldwide.

Hello Friends!

I have recently joined Commission Junction, an online platform that promotes Affiliate Marketing.  So what does this mean?

In a nutshell, Affiliate Marketing is when you advertise for companies (on your blog, website, social networks etc...) and make commission on purchases.

Why?  Affiliate Marketing  is a great way to promote fabulous deals for your readers based on topics that are covered in your blog or website.  And...when your readers, friends and family are shopping online, they can use your referral link and you can make commission on their sales!

What's in it for me?  I've applied to advertise with companies that I like and know that I want to shop with.  The companies will many times offer special deals and discounts just for their Affiliates, so you can't lose!

The following list includes the Advertisers that I promote by topic of interest.  When you make your next online purchase, please support me by using my referral links and clicking on the micro bars and banners below.  Thank you!

Join Team KCKool! Why I Love Social Media Marketing: Sponsored Tweets, WeReward, MyLikes And More!

Hey guys!  As many of my Twitter followers know, I am a huge advocate of all things Social Media!  I work in Marketing and live and breathe Social Media in both my professional and personal life.  I was first introduced to MySpace years ago and I thought it was pretty cool…but when Facebook and Twitter came around, I was a changed woman!  It may sound crazy, but so many amazing opportunities, friendships and more have come from my involvement in the Social Media world.  So, I want to share with you all of the positive things that it has brought to me and I hope that you’ll join my team, have fun and earn some money too!

What I am the most proud of, is that I organized a TweetUp in New York City and I live in Atlanta, Georgia.  How did I pull this off, you ask?  Well I networked like crazy on Twitter and Facebook and the event went viral!  You can find the event on Twitter at the hashtag – #NYCTweetUp.  The official event is also on Facebook at NYCTweetUp.  I currently have 57 RSVPs to the event, but when I hit 50, I became eligible to apply for a Sponsored TweetUp with a company called IZEA out of Orlando, Florida.  I of course applied, and got the sponsorship!  I have a $250 Visa Debit Card to use towards food & drinks at the TweetUp,  a Banner, Tee Shirts, Stickers & more!  Sponsored Tweets, one of IZEA’s platforms, is also featuring an official blog post on the event on their site.  Check it out here.

In addition to getting my TweetUp sponsored, I have won several contests on Twitter and won all sorts of prizes.  My favorite is probably my fab gym bag and I’m kind of jealous of the sweet Social Media tee shirt that my boyfriend just scored!  I also networked with one of my Twitter followers and she asked me to edit her Press Release on her new book!  And…she loved my work and paid me via PayPal.  So, what Team KCKool is all about is making some extra cash!  I figured I didn’t have anything to lose, so I gave it a whirl and it took some time (trial and error) to figure out which Twitter platforms were legit and how I could get paid via my PayPal account.

Here are my referral links and I hope that you’ll join me here!
