A big return on a small investment

If you want to see a great example of the power of uPlej, I invite you to view Nathan Osmond’s user page at http://www.uPlej.com/NathanOsmond. In less than two months, Nathan has paid a grand total of $9.98 to uPlej, with $8.00 going directly to charity. He has 119 friends in his network and he has raised $172.00 for the Children’s Miracle Network, his chosen charity.

Let’s put that in perspective. Nathan’s chosen charity has received a return 17 times greater than his investment. That’s a rate of return that any investor would beg to receive.

The type of return Nathan’s charity has seen on his efforts is possible for anyone. All it takes is a little effort, a few phone calls, many e-mails and the willingness to tell people the good that you’re doing. So get out there and DO it. Tell others to “give a little bit.” You’ll be amazed at the return!
