Save the World. Use the Internet.

When life is hard, work is hard, personal life is hard and the world feels like its caving in around you, it's easy to get lost in the noise of life and the dark clouds of the mind and forget some really important things.

For the last year or so I've felt my passion for certain kinds of charity grow ten-fold. Call it life, call it a calling from God, I soon learned that we can all do our bit for good causes even when we're in that noise, and in those dark clouds. Here's how.

I'm a big Google user. I'm big on technology, the Internet, and I spend a lot of time evaluating services and what will and won't benefit my life and life's ventures, be it business or otherwise. I use Google to search the Internet because Google are great at what they do. Their search functionality is sophisticated, comprehensive and they have done well to become the de-facto standard of search to the point that to "google" something is recognised in English dictionaries. What's this mean for charities though?

I'd like to introduce you to Everyclick. On first visit, it looks like any old search engine. Nothing to entice me away from the search behemoth Google. I encourage you to click Everyclick.com/womensaid. Now the magic starts to happen. With this service, you can continue your working life on the Internet as you normally would but with one core difference: when you search the web, you will be helping a charity. In this case, I've provided a link that supports Women's Aid, a damn fine charity that works to end domestic violence against women and children. If I search the web with this web page, I help people who really need to help. I can get on with my working day while helping services bring an end to domestic and sexual violence in the UK.

Everyclick supports charities and fundraisers. Pick one and bookmark the page as the default page in your web browser. When I open up Safari (my web browser of choice), I see instantly Everyclick.com/womensaid.

Share this post with your friends. I'd love them to read this and help others benefit. Go: Work, create, develop, pursue, succeed. But do it while helping others at the same time.
