ChipIn Widget – How I Got A Blog Post Idea

September 8th, 2008 · 1 Comment · 1 - Get Content Ideas

That was easy:

a few days ago I heard about a cool service called ChipIn – so I’m blogging about this. I guess it was via other blogs, I’m not sure – but usually that’s how I get new content ideas…

I even created a page on ChipIn which is something basic but they say you could add new content, pictures, and video stuff to it later on. So it’s worth giving it a try.

Still not sure? Obviously you want to know what this is all about, right?

Here’s what ChipIn does in a nutshell – and how it helps bloggers – straight from the horse-mouth:

1. ChipIn is a web-based service that simplifies the process of collecting money from groups of people (via PayPal)

2. it allows anyone to collect money for a personal cause, group purchase, or fundraiser using their own custom ChipIn page

3. it enables bloggers to create an interactive widget that allows them to raise money directly through blogs and other social media

4. it empowers non-profit organizations to engage a distributed network of supporters in “blograising” campaigns for major fundraising efforts.

The best part? It’s 100% free.

You’ve probably noticed by now what I am collecting money for (I need those within 20 days) – check out the sidebar widget on the left side of this blog! :)

Would you like to show some love? ChipIn some dollars straight to my paypal account :)

Would you like to give this a try on your blog too? What are you waiting for then?

Send me your feedback – is this something which you find it cool or you think it’s just a waste of time?

At least, I see here two advantages – I got a new blog post idea, and have added a widget which allows me get funds for my goal.

The third advantage is that you heard about it, and you’d want to start using the service too.

Cheers,
Codrut Turcanu

P.S. If you think this was a PAID blog review, think again. I’m not writing a paid review even if they’d pay me $500-$1,000 in real cash! I prefer to exchange blog reviews with friends and fellow bloggers.

Will NEVER write about a service, product or blog which I don’t like personally :)

    Hello Codrut, thanks for this introduction to a great-looking service. I have a couple of charities that I work with that could well benefit from this. It also occurs to me that I may be able to raise money via my backpain-oriented blog for someone who needs help with medical costs etc.
