The site has exploded. I can't even finish a sentence without having to approve a new member. So many people . . .
All the traffic is coming from the college students being referred to the site as they prepare for the 2009 MOJO International Service Camp. Every time they refer someone, they receive a $5 credit towards their trip. Shocking what a little compensation can do. In the month of February alone we've added more than 112 members and I'm pretty sure we will add close to 200 members by the end of this month if this continues to go on.
It reminds me of my earlier days and all the people I've added. I never even thought about how much money I was earning towards my trip. I was just concerned with expanding the site. If I do go back, I know that I have already referred 81 people and I could easily get a bunch more thanks to all the other friends I have on the other Ning networks. I am however concerned how we're going to be paying people for all the members being referred. $5 may seem like a small amount but when you have 10 college kids at work, the numbers quickly multiplies. Would that mean if I ever wanted to go on a future trip that I would already have $405 towards my trip or would I have to start fresh like everyone else.
This isn't the first time people have asked me if I plan to go back and its a question thats been in the back of my head for a while. It would be great to go back and see all my old friends but I feel that I would only go back with a purpose. I still have till September 26, 2009 to make my impact and I've been scratching away at what I can do. It could be something small, but I believe that my impact will be organizing a trip to the US for Chinese students. It's easy to say those words, but actions speak louder than words and its only a matter of time before I take the first major step.
Sincerely, Hector Guzman
