As most of you know one dollar in itself does not do much or mean much these days therefore you might be curious as to why the 1DollarClub only asks for $1. The 1DollarClub is not just about giving a dollar to charity; it is about creating a movement that encourages every single person to give a dollar to change the world.

 

The way www.1dollarclub.org has been set up supports the way in which this movement can happen. There are three easy steps involved with becoming part of the 1DollarClub. You start by donating your dollar, and then you invite your network of friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances or anyone you feel should know about the 1DollarClub. Finally, you get the unique chance to watch your 1 Factor grow through the power of your social network.  

 

The 1 Factor has been set up to show how much money you as an individual are responsible for raising. This doesn’t just mean that you get to watch the real time widget on our websites homepage; this means that you can download your own widget that will keep track of how much money YOU are responsible for raising. Once this widget is downloaded you have the ability to put it on your Facebook or Myspace account as well as your own website!

 

So, how does this work? The 1 Factor tracks all of your friends that have donated because of the 1DollarClub invitation they received from you. It also is able to keep track of the money donated from the friends of your friends and friends of their friends and etc… (You are responsible for this money as well!) All in all, the 1 Factor allows you to see how much money you are actually responsible for raising through the utilization of your social network.  

 

The underlying goal of the 1 Factor is to add another layer to social networking. Millions of people belong to enormous social networks all over the world and it doesn’t really mean anything except that they are well connected. However, we want to take everyone’s enormous social network and put it to good use by showing how much good can come from utilizing the power of your social network.

 

The 1 Factor is set to be released in the coming week. For people that have already donated please watch for an email from the 1DollarClub team that will provide you a link to download the widget. For all you potential donators out there, check out the website in the next few days to download the next big thing to hit the internet!
