Now that the financial system has been rocked to its core, "social capital" is getting a lot of buzz. But what is it? It boils down to putting your efforts into jobs with a socially positive impact, connecting money with meaning and investing with those principles in mind. People of all ages are pursuing those mantras -- from twentysomethings seeking socially responsible jobs straight out of college to Gen X-ers in their 30s and 40s leaving highly paid posts in major corporations to launch socially aware start-ups to baby boomers investing or advising companies on how to be more socially aware.

One such socially aware start-up, GetZooks, is a sponsor of the UN Peace Day Gobal Broadcast.  The purpose of GetZooks© Club is to help people maintain and even revitalize communities through humanities collective transition to a global knowledge based economy.
 
Communities are made up of individuals, businesses, and associations (non-profits, schools, churches, and the like); communities prosper when these three elements are successful in commerce, this means importing and circulating wealth in their local economy.

At present our communities are losing jobs (retail, car dealerships, etc..), which decreases retail sales for local businesses, and begins driving down property values. This is all part of the world shift from an Industrial Age socio-economic model to an Information Age (Global Village) model; as the old systems become antiquated we face greater financial and societal challenges.

GetZooks is designed specifically to address these challenges. For individuals losing jobs in sales we offer the ability to cheaply and easily open a chain of retail stores online with products from brand name suppliers in almost any field of expertise and thereby become a business owner. Individuals can also market exclusive local businesses they or other Members have brought to the system.

For a pre-existing business needing more sales, GetZooks provides Members worldwide, a global 24/7 sales force. Members can share your business or products by placing links to your website in social networks, personalized CyberMalls, blogs, videos, and e-mails. GetZooks Members sharing your site with people socially will bring targeted traffic that increases sales while decreasing the marketing cost.

More sales by local businesses, and individuals in the community will import wealth into the local economy; this is the basis of community revitalization, access the growing global marketplace made possible by the Internet . To help whole communities GetZooks is developing a program for Chambers of Commerce to bring their local businesses together to open a City Mall that will be placed on GetZooks World Mall Map. We hope to bring on many cities by years end, having small or individual businesses as the main stay of the GetZooks Product & Vendors Catalog.

To further support communities, GetZooks has a program where community non-profits associations like schools, faith groups, charities, and the like may request a free CyberMall for fund-raising purposes. Instead of kids selling candy bars door-to-door, families at the school can be asked to do any everyday online shopping (like from Amazon) from the schools CyberMall page. The school will get approx. 8% of the sale back through GetZooks on a Amazon sale, it is free money simply for clicking on Amazon from the schools page instead of typing in amazon.com, this is a free program.

Our purpose with the GetZooks Affiliate Marketing System is to create a synergy between individuals, businesses, and community associations so everyone wins and reinforces one another in the process. Our communities are failing in places we use out-dated industrial models, to prosper again is simple, embrace the new models where the wealth has migrated to ~ the Global Village of the Internet.
