Belmont University alumnus Nathan Baker wants to help tackle the issues of homelessness in Nashville, but he isn’t having a canned food drive. He is having a viral marketing campaign for clicks.
“Too often we click Perez Hilton or Facebook. I want to work with like-minded individuals that want to click homeless,” Baker said.
Baker said he is developing a network of homeless and non-homeless that supports the blogging efforts of the homeless and chronically homeless, starting in Nashville.
The network would help design and maintain blogs for homeless writers, try to get laptops in the hands of the homeless, pursue sponsorships with food spots with free Internet access, and advocate that people “click homeless.”
Baker’s goal is to raise $10,000 from Ideablob.com by the end of the month. You can offer feedback and vote for his idea at ideablob.com.
