Three fun and easy ways to contribute.

When most people think of contributing it mostly involves giving money to charity. In todays hard ecconomic climate this may be the last thing people feel like doing. However there are other ways to contribute and feel you are making a difference.

1. Give advice over the net. How much time are you spending surfing the internet? Everyone has experience with something whether it's good or bad. I have just done really well at breastfeeding my baby for the past six months. There are many 'new mums' forums with people distraught about this topic. I can easily spend a couple of hours giving tips. What are you good at? have you survived any traumas? survived a break up? what's your favourite hobby you could share?

2. Take a dog for a walk Local animal shelters are always needing dog walkers. It's a great way to combine exercise with giving. You never know you may just fall in love with one of them too!

3. Buy some art. Websites like etsy provide the perfect place for artists to sell their art. I sell photographs through etsy and I can assure you that it is such a fantastic feeling when someone buys one of my images. Make someone's day and decorate your home at the same time.
