A story of how YOU helped a girl pay her 2nd year fees for her Computer Science engineering degree.
A thread...

2 weeks back I got an email from Anjali.
Anjali is a Computer Science Engineering student at a top engineering college in Bangalore (not naming it to protect her identity)
She topped her college in the first year.
However, COVID affected her family's financial condition.

She wrote, asking for help.
She shared her grades, the fee schedule, and all other details, in an email that was professional and heartwarming, at the same time.
Her 2nd year fees is 1.35L, due July 4th.

I asked her if she could afford to pay any of it on her own
Her reply signaled the extent of her family's condition.

So I decided to run an experiment.
Last Friday, for my weekly threads, I ran an affiliate campaign.

I consciously did not brand this as a crowdfunding exercise, because then the results would be biased.
Since these were products that have improved my life, I wanted others to experience them as well.
So I ran a giveaway on them (totaling ~Rs. 60,000)

Over the past 4 days, because of the sales YOU have made, the affiliate revenue generated is upwards of Rs. 93,000.
So this simple thread served 3 purposes
1. It raised Rs. 93,000 towards Anjali's education (I will be filling in the rest, gladly so)
She doesn't know as yet - I am to tell her this evening :))

2. I had the joy of gifting my favorites purchases, to others (results to be announced in 2 weeks)
And through that, introduce these lovely products to so many others, who bought it on their own.

3. I was hopefully able to show you the power of affiliate marketing.
To all those 20yr olds looking for passive income - this is it.
Go out there and create a trust-first community.

Anjali is happy.
You all contributed to your happiness, while buying something you would benefit from.
So I am hoping you are happy.
I am immensely happy.
Such a wonderful life :))
