<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Some people want money &#8211; that&#8217;s their goal. </span></p>
<p>Others live to make an impact.</p>
<p>Dr. Mani falls into the second category. But because of his passion to help others, he&#8217;s made a ton of money. In fact, <br />
 through his Internet marketing efforts, he&#8217;s raised more than $137,000 for his foundation that has performed open <br />
 heart operations on more than 70 children.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s one of the most respected men online. He was named one of Seth Godin&#8217;s 99 Purple Cows for innovative and <br />
 remarkable marketing, and Fast Company magazine profiled his philanthropy-fueled approach to business. And he&#8217;s <br />
 consistently ranked in the top 50 Internet marketing specialists at Gurudaq.com.</p>
<p>Really, all he wants to do is save kids&#8217; lives.</p>
<p>And I think you&#8217;ll want to help, especially after you read this.</p>
<p>In just a few days, the NAMS4Kids Joint Venture Giveaway launches. All the proceeds from the front end of this effort <br />
 go to Dr. Mani&#8217;s CHD Foundation.</p>
<p>You can help! And you can profit from this as well.</p>
<p>But most of all, you will experience that feeling of saving a child&#8217;s life by participating in NAMS4Kids JV Giveaway.</p>
<p>But before I describe what&#8217;s in it for you, read this story from Dr. Mani about one of the 70 children so far saved <br />
 through the efforts of Dr. Mani:</p>
<p>***********************************************************</p>
<p>On the sands of a beach on Rameswaram, in the southern tip of India, a mother holds her little boy, and stares out at <br />
 the sea.</p>
<p>The shiny surface of a fishing boat ashore mirrors the strain and anguish on her young face as she glances at him with deep concern. The boys lips are blue. So is his tongue. And his fingers and toes.</p>
<p>His blood cannot carry enough oxygen because he was born with a complex heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. <br />
 Untreated, it will soon be fatal. And his parents know this.</p>
<p>So she weeps softly, her tears mingling with the salty waters of the Indian Ocean. Far away, on another continent, <br />
 her husband is struggling to earn enough money to save his son&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>But he&#8217;s running out of time. Azhar has been falling sick more often lately. He gets fainting spells and needs to be <br />
 rushed to hospital frequently. The doctors tell him operation is urgent.</p>
<p>When our team of videographers visited Azhar&#8217;s village to record his story as part of a documentary film about <br />
 congenital heart disease, his sad tale touched the heart of the assistant director. He called that night, with an <br />
 impassioned request to help.</p>
<p>Thanks to the generosity and support of wonderful people all around the world, the Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation has money available to help the little boy. A month later, he was recovering from his complex operation at India&#8217;s finest heart hospital, the Narayana Hrudayalaya Institute in Bangalore.</p>
<p>His treatment was fully sponsored from donations you made &#8211; to help a child live.</p>
<p>Thank you from my heart.</p>
<p><a href="http://nams.ws/chd2" target="_blank">http://nams.ws/chd2</a></p>
<p>Dr. Mani Sivasubramanian</p>
<p>Chennai, India</p>
<p>***********************************************************</p>
<p>The Niche Affiliate Marketing System workshops have adopted Dr. Mani&#8217;s foundation by supporting his cause. In January, 2010, at NAMS3, we raised more than $1600 from the people in the room which resulted in surgery for one child in India.</p>
<p>The students at NAMS saved a life.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever thought about participating in a JV Giveaway to get great products to drive your business, now&#8217;s the <br />
 time.</p>
<p>This one is truly different.</p>
<p>David Perdew at NAMS4Kids has called in some favors from a whole bunch of top online marketers and convinced them all to give you TONS of free products and services at no cost to you.</p>
<p>But of course, we&#8217;d take a donation from you for Dr. Mani&#8217;s foundation. Our goal is to raise $10,000 in 72 <br />
 hours.</p>
<p>You will receive:</p>
<p>-ebooks</p>
<p>-scripts</p>
<p>-memberships</p>
<p>-private label rights products</p>
<p>-self-improvement products</p>
<p>And much more.</p>
<p>You name it, it&#8217;s there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
 P.S. &#8211; You may be wondering, &#8220;what&#8217;s the catch?&#8221; well, there ISN&#8217;T one. </span></p>
<p>This is my way of saying thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope that you will make lots of money selling and <br />
 using those products.</p>

<p>My husband says, I have been &#8220;running the roads&#8221; a lot lately.  That&#8217;s a southern thing if you don&#8217;t understand that phrase.  But he is correct.  I have been going a lot of places in the last couple of weeks and according to my calendar, I&#8217;m not going to slow down until around Christmas.</p>
<p>Now for a virtual professional, that&#8217;s a bit of a culture shock to actually go outside of your virtual world.  But I love getting out of here.  I love to visit and talk with people and network everywhere I go.</p>
<p>I shared a booth with one of my clients at the National Philanthropy Day luncheon in Knoxville last week and enjoyed catching up with old friends and making new ones.  And of course, sharing my business and the services I provide for administrative support and online marketing.  I walked away with a great list of people to follow-up with this week.</p>
<p><a href="http://avirtualbiz.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/dsc00095.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-168 alignright" title="dsc00095" src="http://avirtualbiz.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/dsc00095.jpg?w=300" alt="dsc00095" width="180" height="135" /></a>As I mentioned in an earlier post, the East Tennessee Veteran&#8217;s Memorial was being dedicated this past weekend and I was honored to be invited to a reception and the dedication ceremony.  The Mayor&#8217;s were there, as well as other politicians, high-ranking military personel and many familiar faces from my time with the organization.  The ceremony was incredibly moving and I was proud to be an American and to have been involved in the early stages of the memorial&#8217;s planning.  And it proved to be a great place to network.  I was invited to be on a local radio show and several people are interested in learning more about my business.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to the next couple of weeks and the many networking opportunties to share what I do and how I can help other business owners with their administrative and marketing needs.</p>
<p>So Honey, I have a few more &#8220;roads to run.&#8221;</p>

<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if someone could help all those struggling non-profit organizations with their fundraising program?&nbsp; Just to find someone who understands their needs and can offer a simple plan for meeting and exceeding their goals?</p>
<p>Well, I know of just a person.&nbsp; She is an incredible teacher, coach, mentor and Master Trainer for non-profit fundraisers and I have the privilege of working with her as her virtual assistant.&nbsp; She is <a href="http://www.sandyrees.com">Sandy Rees,</a> Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) and one of 125 Master Trainer&#8217;s in the world for the <a href="http://www.afpnet.org">Association of Fundraising Professionals</a> (AFP).</p>
<p>Typically, as a virtual professional I don&#8217;t leave the &#8220;virtual office&#8221; very often, however, I have had the opportunity to travel with Sandy recently to other AFP chapters in the South and watch her in action.&nbsp; To say she is awesome, is truly an understatement.&nbsp; She is captivating, funny, knowledgeable, engaging and right-on with her information.&nbsp; People comment as they walk away from her training sessions that they can&#8217;t wait to get back to the office and implement the ideas Sandy gave them.&nbsp; Now just how many times have you been anxious to get back to the office?</p>
