Hi guys,

I've created an awesome little content-generating tool that I am going to give you for (practically) free.  Here's a quick demo of what it can do:

http://tipbuilder.com/

Now, I'm a huge fan of Kiva.org, the micro-lending site where regular people like you and me come together to make small loans to people in underdeveloped countries who are trying to start or build a business.  It's very simple: you LOAN $25 or more to these hard-working individuals.  Your loan gets repaid to you.  It's a non-profit, so you don't earn interest, but you've done a good deed for someone who is trying hard to work hard and take care of themselves and their families.

What does that have to do with the awesome content-building tool in the subject line of this post?  EVERYTHING.

Because if you join my Kiva Team and make a $25 loan (or more if you want), and then paste a copy of your receipt into my help-desk at AskJonleger.com, you will get this cool little tool I've created for (practically) free.

I say "practically" because there's a (very) small chance your loan at Kiva won't get repaid.  Kiva has a 98.5% repayment rate, so there's a 1.5% chance you won't get your $25 back.  But given that this cool little tool is worth AT LEAST $25, even if your loan doesn't get repaid -- which is very unlikely -- you still win!

Here's the link to my Kiva Team:

www.kiva.org/invitedto/jonathanleger/by/jonathanleger

Go there, join my team, loan $25 (or more) to somebody, post the receipt to AskJonLeger.com and you'll get the download link for the new tool.

Thanks in advance!

Jon

P.S. If you joined my team in response to my earlier mailer about Kiva, you qualify to get the tool free as well -- just put a ticket in at AskJonLeger.com with your Kiva receipt.

I always advocate rewriting to give the content your own voice and avoid any chance of plagiarism, but technically that would work most of the time yes.

Hey Jon - excellent looking tool. Thanks for the opportunity. I've gone way over budget on expenditures for this month, but will definitely look into it next month.

Great! Just donated.

Are there any plans for future improvements to the tool? This tool looks promising!!

Suggestions:-

1. Detect & remove duplicates.
2. Ability to insert HTML codes or any other codes in between tips, since some of might us might want to add images / videos for each of the tip, etc.
3. Ability to rearrange the tips according to their importance, e.g. point no 54 is good, so I want it to be number 1, etc. This feature also allows us to create procedural / step by step tips (point no 4), assuming the tip results have such data.
4. Perhaps instead of tips, can we generate step by step instructions / tutorials as well?


Cheers!

Hi Jon,
Funny you should do this at this time. Earlier, I had been looking for that link to Kiva in your previous email and couldn't find it.
Made a loan and submitted the receipt. That is one awesome tool! Just the thing to add to my growing arsenal of tools.

I would have made that small loan anyway, but it's nice to be rewarded. And I already have big plans for the tip tool.

I was very fond of the Kiva idea even after your first about it.
I joined Kiva and by coincidence the first borrower presented to me came from Bolivia - the country where I was born when my german parents worked the in development aid...
I haven't looked a the tool yet - but I trust it is "Jon Leger Quality" as all your tools are useful and cool ;-)

I just tried 3 times in a row to sign up on Kiva but just got a failed message!

Can you please send me a Paypal email and I'll gladly send you the money
to donate in return for the software.

Thanks!

Hi,

What do you need?

The paypal receipt number?

I also joined through your group when you sent the first email about it.
