This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bidazzled. All opinions are 100% mine.

Bidazzled recently caught my attention for a number of reasons:

1. The premise of the web site was founded around The Ruch Foundation (a lung charity organization)

2. It’s a “penny auction” or “pay-per-bid” auction web site. These are always fun and you never know what’s coming up for bid – so keeping your eyes wide open is a must

3. Everybody wins! Even if you’re not the winner for the item you are bidding on, Bidazzeled still awards you up to 50 “bonus bids.” Their personal way of saying thank you for giving it a go – and of course encouragement to come back again and again to this auction fun zone.

They have also covered their bases since not everyone is a fan of bidding. So if an auction is not your style, but the item online is, then you can “purchase the auction item less the investment you had in the auction.”

What is truly odd, or unique, is that they, in turn, offer the winner of the auction the ability to sell it back to them! Yeah, I know it sounds odd, but they will buy it back for cash (PayPal or check); cash plus bids; or more bids.

You will also love the fact that a bid costs just $1 with a minimum purchase of just $25 per pack. And, just so you know, in Bidazzled’s first month online two people won Nintendo Wii’s. How much did it cost them? Just 5 free bids!

Honestly, as if that wasn’t enough, they also have a referral program so you can build up your bidding power like crazy just for spreading the word about this amazing – and truly strange (in a wonderful way) auction website!

During the past week, we’ve been super busy!

A great addition to our Whole Hog Blog family is the not-for-profit website and blog for ALS of Nevada. The entire state of Nevada coverage for ALS patients and their caregivers is provided by just three individuals (and an outstanding Board of Directors). Two people cover the state, with another fine individual up in the Reno area providing assistance to those in need suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease.

We’d like to ask you to please visit the site, comment on the blog, and help get their traffic and alexa rankings rolling.

We’ve also added a blog to My Wizard Ads, an ezine advertising information blog. “Diane’s” first true business online after a several year stint as a publisher herself (weird talking about myself in the third, or would that be fourth (?) person). Day in and day out I field questions for not just the new but veteran internet marketer. Ezine advertising gives people the freedom to use other people’s lists as contact points to announce and promote the businesses and programs they join online.

Again, a visit to that new blog and your comments would be greatly appreciated, too.

Both of these new additions have do-follow linking, so your trip gains you that valued backlink in the process.

Enjoy!

Saturdays and Sundays typically mean we get to stretch our legs and post things outside the fields of social media marketing.

Today is one of those days

Let’s face it, one of the most valuable things each of us has is our memories, be they great ones or one’s we’d rather not think about (even those serve a purpose to remind us what not to do in the future).

Alzheimer’s Memory Walk

But a devastating fact is that Alzheimer’s is a disease that strikes many, wiping all memories and impacting families.

The Alzheimer’s Association would like to make us all aware of the fact that raising awareness and money for research should be upper most in all of our minds.

The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for research.

They are looking for volunteers of all ages to “become champions in the fight against Alzheimer’s.” With more than 600 walks in communities across the country, a typical walk is 2-3 miles. They hold these walks on weekend mornings in the fall.

You, too, can volunteer to “walk with a purpose” just click on the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk link featured above for more information.
