You spend a lot of time creating great content and attracting an audience for your blog. What if you could use that influence to make a positive social impact? Now you can.
We’ve teamed up with SocialVibe, and now by adding the SocialVibe widget to your blog, you are able to earn donations for the charity of your choice by getting sponsored by a brand that appeals to you.
Each time someone visits your blog and engages with your brand (by rating a video, for example), you’re making a difference. That impact is immediately visible on your badge, i..e., ‘My blog has provided 63 cups of clean water for people in need.’
The money donated comes from your brand, so you and your readers never have to pay a dime.
In addition to earning donations, you’ll also get feedback from your charity about the difference they’re making thanks to you. By clicking the charity logo in the badge, you can find information about your cause and view real-time goal progress.
Setup is easy and only takes a few clicks – just go to Appearance->Widgets in your dashboard, add the SocialVibe widget and pick a cause and a charity. For more details you can find documentation in our support area. If you change your mind about your sponsor or cause, you can easily make adjustments by visiting your widget dashboard.
If you are running a self-hosted WordPress blog, be sure to grab the SocialVibe plugin.
With SocialVibe, our community can pool our individual influences to create positive change in the world.
Very useful plugin, thanks.
this is a great widget, im amazed someones set this up and it works…im gonna help spread the word
good idea
That’s really cool.
Just wanted you to know that my computer slowed to a crawl after putting this widget on my blog. I did some checking and a tracker from that site was taking over most of my capacity. I had to delete it.
Sorry to hear that anhinga — sounds most likely that one of the partner video ads was slowing things down temporarily.
nice i love this!
How cool! Hope we will all make a difference in our own little way
new on this Word Press thing and this looks pretty tight, will mos defo want to get involved in such stuff!
Im having troubles with Firefox… the widget is not displayed on the blog, neither the banner… only with Internet Explorer. And im not IE user xD

I will definitely consider this with a positive thing and add the widget on my blog.

This is one great way to give back to the community and contribute to nation building. Wonderful!
This is pretty cool. It’s nice to make a difference, ’cause then the blog seems like it’s better than just another random person yapping on the internet… lol, even if it still is. Haha, I really like it. I’ll probably use it some time. =]
