Help Mike Ride
Posted by mike on July 17th, 2009
I wanted to post to let everyone know that I have recently put up a new web ste….
Before you get to the link, I want you to know that I’m asking people — somewhat boldly, perhaps — for a small donation. However, a donation is not expected from anyone. Over the years, I’ve witnessed first-hand what “viral marketing” can achieve, particularly on the Internet. People can achieve amazing results when they ask others for a little help. Recent statistics show that there are more than 251 MILLION Internet users in North America, alone! Worldwide, the number of users online now exceeds 1.5 BILLION (source). In the last 9 years, the number of people online in North America has increased by 132.5%. Those numbers are expected to continue to grow.
So what does that have to do with my web site? Simply put, I have a goal… a dream. I feel I have been patient enough in my life in waiting for this to happen, and now I need to do something about it. Sometimes life has a way of happening, and before you know it you’ve lost track of time. Sometimes your dreams get put aside because you just don’t have the means to get started. Well, I’ve been waiting for a while, and now it’s time to grab the proverbial bull by the horns and DO something about it!
I carry the simple hope that I can convince 8000 people to help me realize my goal. That’s a tiny 0.0032% of online users in North America, and an even smaller 0.0005% of the people online in the world (which only represents 23.8% of the world’s population).
So please check out my site today! If you choose to help, that’s great! If not, I will not be offended. But either way, I would like to request that you please forward this message to anyone you know that might be willing to help. If each person that reads this message passes it along a few others (or posts my site address on their facebook or twitter page), then I might just have a shot at making this work!
The address of the site is:

Thank you for your time!!
