I know that some people out there, even you playas know what affiliate marketing is. You sign up with a program on an online store and that makes you into a third party reseller and that you get a percentage of the sale.
Aside from just being an online charity, I plan to focus more on the affiliate marketing side of it so that it may better serve it's purpose. One of the conditions and advice I would make is that if you execpt donations from people using PayPal or google checkout, posting up your home address so people can send you checks then you should opt to state that if someone sends you a certain amount of money then they would be entitled to a free gift valued at a certain percentage of the money that indiviual has sent you.(Kinda like a PBS telethon) You still need to state your name and condition just like what I have done here:

I will answer one question and that is this.
Q:
Is the oline self care network an offical charity?
A:
No. The online SelfCare Network is "NOT" a charity, a charity rasis money for certain causes and they get it by whatever meens from auctions or sales at conventions. to personal donations like when you go into a McDonalds and you see the box where people put in there spare change to support the Ronald McDonalds Children's Charity. A church might have a bake sale or a fish fry, but no matter which ones of the two that are mentioned above it all goes into the same bank account and is distributed to people and busniesses that do the type of work that the charity or church supports. The Online SelfCare Network takes the same idea but instead of going to one group, the money is given directly to the indiviual without having to go throw us first. Even it's founder can benifit from it and I am looking for others out there who need it's services or wish to get involved. Like summiting it to the most powerful search engines on the internet and to set up different versions of it in other countries. Canada has a great healthcare system but news reaching the US has stated that when you need their services your put on a waiting list. For the Online SelfCare Network, there are no waiting lists.
That's all that needs to be said.
