Help Wanted

September 11, 2008

PeopleRipple.com’s Mission is to Make the World a Better Place. It’s a world project, but we’re starting it here at home. Because we’re all connected, what we can accomplish through PeopleRipple.com will naturally affect the rest of the world. We each have a vital role to play. It’s up to us, individually and together, to make a difference.

One by one, we are growing a community of People actively making Ripples of positive personal, social, and global difference. The more people who get involved, the greater the impact will be. Here are some ways you can help:

  • Begin or Keep Rippling. By taking on Challenges, you’re already creating a difference.

  • Tell other people about PeopleRipple. Shout it from the rooftops. Write it in the sky. Wear our T-Shirts (soon to be available for purchase). Or pass out your Ripple Cards. The more People involved, the bigger the Ripples of Change we can create.

  • Participate in the MAD Hug Drive. Who doesn’t like to give or receive hugs?! This time, every hug counts towards making a difference.

  • If you have some graphic design background and an eye (or two) for design, help us to design Ripple Cards and MAD Hug Cards. We’ll give you full credit on PeopleRipple.com. If you’re interested, email RippleCards@PeopleRipple.com.

  • Sponsor a Zip Code for your business or for yourself. You can even give the Sponsorship as a gift to another person or to your favorite Nonprofit. Revenues from Sponsorships allow us to keep PeopleRipple.com going and growing. [Link: Zip Exclusive]

  • Blog about PeopleRipple.com. Talk about the Challenges you’re currently taking. Talk about your experiences from the Challenges you’ve already taken.

  • Donate directly to The PeopleRipple Foundation. The PeopleRipple Foundation is the charitable arm of PeopleRipple.com. PeopleRipple.com profits offset the operational costs of The PeopleRipple Foundation. This allows it to give 100% of donations collected to help service- and education-based Nonprofit Partners continue to make a difference.


The PeopleRipple Plan

September 11, 2008

PeopleRipple.com is passionate about making a difference through the continual improvement and promotion of a unique Member Experience, called Rippling, and by offering effective Advertising Solutions.

Rippling. We provided the tools, opportunities, and support to get people Rippling. Rippling is taking action to make positive Personal, Social and Global impacts. The more people Rippling, the better the world will be.

Rippling inspires Others to begin Rippling. Just by doing Challenges, more and more people will be introduced to Rippling. And, together, we’ll move one person closer and one action closer to achieving the kind of life and world we want.
Advertising. We are dedicated to providing cost-effective, targeted advertising that yields phenomenal returns for advertisers. We want to Be the Change we want to see in Internet Advertising. We believe that offering innovative, results-driven advertising at an overwhelming value is critical to accomplishing our Mission to Make the World a Better Place.
PeopleRipple Advertising promotes the Win-Win-Win-Win-Win Principle:

Members WIN because they’re not exposed to ad clutter or to ads with offensive content. They also win real prizes which are paid for by advertising revenue.

Advertisers WIN because they get phenomenal advertising.

PeopleRipple.com WINs because it can continue growing and spreading the benefits of Rippling to the world.

Nonprofit Partners WIN because PeopleRipple.com donates a portion of EVERY advertising revenue it will EVER earn to causes for which our members vote.

And when Nonprofit organizations fulfill their missions, the World WINs.


Doing Challenges = Rippling

September 11, 2008

Challenges are simple actions anyone can perform. But don’t let their simplicity fool you. These small, fun activities will Ripple to have a bigger personal, social and global impact.
Skeptical?…

Just try it. Do the Challenges. And we guarantee you will experience a positive difference in your life, in your relationship with others, and in the world.
Challenges are divided among three main Ripple Groups: YOU, OTHERS, WORLD. Because everything is connected, what you do in one aspect of your life impacts the others. What You do to become a better person (You Ripples), affects your relationships with Others (Others Ripples), and ultimately makes the World a better place (World Ripples). It’s all connected.

Do as many Challenges as you find interesting. Definitely do the ones that you think will be fun. And if you really want to have the best experience, do the Challenges that get you out of your comfort zone.

There will be new Challenges every week! It’s all part of our commitment to keeping the PeopleRipple experience fresh and fun while making a meaningful difference. So, be sure to check back into PeopleRipple.com regularly.

Challenges will be updated every Wednesday. Please make sure you check back into PeopleRipple.com for new Challenges on Wednesdays to have the maximum time to complete them.

IMPORTANT: Please log your Challenge Participation BEFORE Wednesday 9am EST. Once the Challenges change, you will lose the ability to log your participation and earn Ripple Points for those Challenges.

There will be long-running Challenges that will be around for months. Most Challenges, however, will be active for only a week or for a few weeks. Past Challenges will be archived so members can access them.

The Challenges are starter sparks that hopefully get you fired up to pursue more and learn more. You’re going to find that achieving small successes fuels momentum that will lead to bigger success. So, if you get inspired and want to take a Challenge to the next level, then go for it!

Safety First:

1. Use common sense. DO NOT perform a Challenge in a way that will harm you or others.

2. If you have or suspect you have a condition that may become exacerbated (made worse) by performing a Challenge, then refrain from doing that challenge. Before you exert yourself physically – significantly more than you normally do – consult your physician.
