Check out Shift Happens: Education 3.0, for an interesting barrage of stats demonstrating just how quickly the world is moving in education and business. One of the reasons we started GoHuman.com is to help independent businesses keep up with all the changes that otherwise might leave them behind. Individuals are being rewarded for their ability to work independently and fluidly now more than ever. GoHuman.com helps those people find good customers locally for all their various talents.

We’ve just announced our 3rd HD Flip video camera winner, Rich Weiser of Katonah, NY. Rich is helping us find local marketing coordinators (LMC’s) for GoHuman.com to find and help businesses that don’t otherwise have access to Web marketing resources. Thanks Rich!

Rich likes GoHuman.com because “It’s a vehicle that’s been designed by people to serve people. Opportunities exist for all who get involved, and the services and benefits to the community are easy to access and unlimited in potential. As the space grows, I believe the light will shine on the power of the GoHuman neighborhood and what it has to offer.”

Flip for Your Community for a chance to win a camera by joining GoHuman.com and posting your service before Halloween.

Two weeks down, two HD cameras given away to productive GoHuman.com members! Congrats to Vallea Woodbury in Chicago, our 2nd winner. Hire Vallea to plan your next event.

Vallea believes in the vision of GoHuman.com, and had this to say:

“Gohuman.com is a spectacular resource. Instead of an anonymous yellow pages, it gives local merchants like me a place to advertise in a more personal way that shows potential clients a bit about who I am and gives them an opportunity to see feedback about the way I work. It’s especially an asset for those of us who can’t compete with the marketing campaign budgets of larger businesses.

“On the flip side, I also get to support the people offering services in my area when I need something. It’s a way of building a network of local, quality, business people. In today’s economic environment, this kind of opportunity is extremely important. I can’t wait to see GoHuman.com reach its potential.”

Thanks Vallea! We can’t wait either, and it’s support from people like you that will get us there.

You, too, can Flip for Your Community and win a camera by joining GoHuman.com and posting before Halloween.
