What does the Cure for Cancer and Social Media have in common?

What does the Cure for Cancer and Social Media have in common? | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Attn:  It is best to read this entire post to have a complete understanding of why I chose this post topic.  I thank you in advance. ~Carla Dear Readers, I’m writing this post today because I’ve be...
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Wonderful, generous and kind post from Carla about several things I KNOW is true:

* We will cure cancer in our lifetime.

* Social media and the web will play an important role in the cure.

* We cure cancer when we BELIEVE we can.

 

Carla is right. I'm all in because that what creating anything great always takes (at least for me). I've been so lucky and honored to know amazing people, a list that grows daily.

I've NEVER been disappointed by trusting in the kindness of strangers and Carla proves why I won't be this time either in this kind post. Imagine the day we cure cancer. Think of how that day will feel and let's work backwards.

Thanks to Carla and my growing list of FOMs (Friends of Martin). With an army of friends we climb any mountain.

Marty, I love to write and therefore blog. This doesn't always come easy. This post was actually quite easy to write - nothing technical - the research had already been done just out of curiosity and interest the thoughts just flowed. I hope your sale and goals are reaching further everyday. Thank you for the inspiration to intertwine my social media profession with a topic of human interest. Because of your story, I will always seek to find human interest stories relating to my social media business. Hmmm...a new blog may be due. This has sparked a thought.

Carla, thanks and glad to have you on our journey to cure cancer. Stories are so important to Internet marketing now. Stories are everything. Since the web starts FLAT our words and stories provide the fabric we weave with customers and friends. As Karen Dietz so accurately says, "He who tells the best story, WINS". Marty

Selling Out To Help Cure Cancer - ScentTrail Marketing

Selling Out To Help Cure Cancer - ScentTrail Marketing | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

Video Tour of my house in Durham, NC:

Here is how my "Selling Everything" sale will work and a few of the first items we can't ship (furniture). My house and the rest of "everything I own" should go up in the next few days.

This post explains WHY I'm "selling out" and how you can help by buying STUFF and VOLUNTEERING. Will be loading more STUFF up over the next few days, so please tell your friends and wish us luck.

Together we cure cancer in our lifetime.

All proceeds benefit my 501c3 nonprofit Story of Cancer Foundation and help with development costs for Cure Cancer Starter (http://www.curecancerstarter.org) the first crowdfunding platform developed by a cancer survivor (me:) and dedicated to cancer research.

I am not ALONE in this journey.


My amazing employer, Raleigh software and web devleopers Atlantic BT, are creating Cure Cancer Starter and matching my investment.


I'm paying for development with my salaray and cash is getting TIGHT so time to sell everything, time to sell out to help cure cancer :).

Also explained in my Startups Scoop.it Feed and on GooglePlus.
