New Web Site: 'Please Give Me A Dollar, Give Your Karma a Boost'

Watch the journey as a young man struggles to pay off his student loan within the span of a year, along with some help of some kind strangers.

(PRWEB) September 3, 2006 -- Can you spare some change? Pleasegivemeadollar.com, an “Experiment in Human Generosity”, was released earlier this month. The website chronicles a young man’s progress as he works to pay off his roughly $15,000 in student loans, using his own money as well as donations he receives through PayPal.

There have been a lot of sites asking for help after the unprecedented success of SaveKaryn.com, but right away you can see that pleasegivemeadollar.com is different. Trevor, the young man asking you for your dollar, provides gifts and small services in return for your generosity.

Trevor outlines on the website’s main page all the wonderful things they can get from a simple donation of one dollar. He starts off by offering a personal thank you e-mail, no auto-responder or e-mail templates used, it’s all written by hand. Now if that doesn’t tickle your fancy his offer increases with access to a special download page in which you can download approximately $700 worth of e-books and other fun free items.

And if that’s not enough, he also includes your name and a link of your choice to be displayed on his website. So for a mere dollar you can also get some advertising for any webpage you wish.

And the fourth and final offer is what really makes pleasegivemeadollar.com special. After his student loan is paid off he will step down and choose one of his donators to replace him. Trevor hopes to have the website live on for years after he is gone so it may help other recent graduates pay off their student loan as well.

Now, if you think Trevor isn’t worthy of your dollar, he also lists some of his favorite charities. It seems that Trevor’s goal with this “Experiment in Human Generosity” is not to simply donate to him, but to get people to donate in general.

Well, as they say, There’s No Nation, Like Donation.
