Nonprofits That Twitter

Most people that know me, know how I've become a Twitter Addict!
(There I said it, I admit it!)

Twitter has not only helped me grow my business, it has helped me grow many friendships AND allowed me to lend a hand here and there. But what I enjoy the most is reaching out to people in the network!

Whenever I encounter a nonprofit, I tell them about MissionFish.org and I'm amazed at how few actually know about it.

Recently I hooked up with this new twitter friend: Water1st.

I soon learned this was a nonprofit organization and I sent them a link letting them know about MissionFish. They did not know about it, just like so many nonprofits do not know.


Anyhow, the story goes a bit like this:::::::::::::


@PowerSellingMom Hey Danna, we're all set up on missionfish, and we linked an eBay account. Got any tips for getting started?

THE POWER OF SOCIAL NETWORKING!

What a rewarding night it was!

Most everyone that knows me, knows my mission has been to reach out to nonprofits and I've been especially reaching out to those in Florida and Marion County. I provided a 3 week class with Hospice of Marion County educating the staff about eBay and how everything works at eBay. It was extremely rewarding for me and has opened up more doors of opportunity.

eBay Giving WORKS!!!!

special thanks to my dear eBay friend: ModelSupplies for the retweets and support as well!
