t like offline marketing, if you do something wrong in online marketing, you will ruin your business image. Plus, when it comes to online social media, bad news spreads like wildfire. So, if something goes wrong, you will become notorious all over the world before you even know it.

So, you’ve launched your small business, and now you’re ready to start growing a strong online presence. You enlist the services of an SEO company (or maybe you learn SEO and tackle the job yourself), and then, you wait. And you wait some more. Y
ou keep waiting. Then, you start losing your patience, and you consider pulling the plug on your SEO campaign.
But wait. Don’t ditch your SEO efforts just yet.
Look, I get that you want to see results as quickly as possible. We live in an instant satisfaction society, but that’s just not how SEO works. Good SEO takes time, and the key to getting results is sticking with proven SEO techniques for the long haul. In other words, you need to give your SEO efforts time to work.
So, why does SEO take time? Here are 5 reasons.

I have had the chance to interview Jason Sadler in the past, check it here. But when I heard he had started a new charity to gather shirts for disadvantaged people in Africa I had a few questions for him. So see below for a quick interview!
What prompted you to start 1millionshirts.org?
I’ve worn shirts for charitable organizations on iwearyourshirt.com and knew that it was hard to make an impact for them. You can’t ask people to donate to different causes each week without truly having a connection to them. My life has become all about t-shirts and I thought with the community that I’ve built, I could try to make a difference.
Where did you get the idea?
One of the charities I worked with last year (WaterIsLife.com) asked for the 600+ shirts I accrued and said the t-shirts would be going to Africa. Not only would the t-shirts be providing protection from the elements, they’d also spark some small economy; having people selling and bartering with the shirts. 600+ shirts is a good amount, but I knew I could go bigger. 1MillionShirts was born and I’ve finally had the time and the people to help get it off the ground.
What happens when you get to 1millionshirts? Will you try for 2million?!?
This is one of the things I haven’t thought too much about yet. I’ve been focusing on the launch, on finding partners and finding the right people to help organize t-shirt donation efforts. Then there’s the non-profit 501c3 paperwork, thinking about sponsorship opportunities and getting all the content together for the website and social media sites. We certainly won’t tell people to stop sending shirts in when we hit 1,000,000.
How can people help you get the word out?
The biggest thing people can do is go in their closets/dressers, grab a couple good condition t-shirts, throw a couple $1 bills in an envelope and ship the package to our warehouse in Colorado. All of the information for sending in t-shirts can be found on our Send Shirts page. People can also get involved by setting up t-shirt drives in their area, by getting involved with social media and sharing the idea with their friends. We’re looking for corporate sponsors and just want to help change lives in Africa via t-shirts.
If you get a chance to send in your shirt or can help out in any way please do get involved. Just visit www.1millionshirts.org
