Social media. Like it or not, it’s here to stay. If used inappropriately, it can cause great harm. If harnessed properly, it can be used for good. Now reaching over a million readers annually, AskMissA.com was born out of Andrea Rodgers’ social network Moniker, “Miss A”. We introduce readers to events and activities related to charity and style. Using forums such as Twitter, and Facebook, websites like AskMissA.com can bring charitable places, people and products to the eyes of thousands who may not have time to go onto individual websites. This in turn, drives readers and their network to fundraisers or to purchase beauty or fashion products which support nonprofits. We are currently using Pinterest with Lafayette 148 New York to raise money for the fight against breast cancer.
