I, the boys father, made the original post to begin my twins experiment to raise funds through selling online instead of door to door, see the original post here. The twins are participating in the fundraising (they just turned 6 and are in first grade), their younger brother is 3.
Our Experiment
They are learning to use Twitter (Longest Brothers Twitter) and this Blog (Longest Brothers Blog). They will update both before the fundraiser is over, October 8th, 2008.
How you fit in
The goal is to achieve as many sales as possible for their fundraiser, the proceeds go to their Elementary school named Liberty Elementary in South Riding, VA. They get a point for each item sold regardless of the price of the item, they have items under $10. To assist them please make a purchase.
Step 1
Go to Lavenders Online Here, the instructions for checkout so the the twins receive credit is on the right, the screen is framed. They accept PayPal. This site does not use typical affiliate links so you must enter the following at checkout:
- School name: Liberty Elementary
- City: South Riding, VA
- Student Name: Dylan Longest/Nicholas Longest
- ID: 082416700

Step 2
Follow them on Twitter, add them by going to the Longest Brothers Twitter here to follow their daily updates. They will let you know what prize they won if they achieved enough sales, the more sales – the more points – and the better prize they get. Any prize, no matter what it is will show them the power of online communications and relationships. This will also make an interesting case study.
