Unusual online marketplace uses unorthodox means of funding.

Funding sought via the StartSomeGood crowdfunding site for the marketplace created to tackle world poverty and environmental issues.  The site: https://www.aworldofgoods.com/ is quite different, considering it is the first and only online marketplace created exclusively for Fair Trade and Upcycled Goods.  The means chosen to cover start-up costs, is equally unique, as the creator has chosen the relatively new method of crowdfunding, that being to seek donations via online media sites and a youtube video.

The site was created as a means to market the idea of Fair Trade and Upcycling, with the ultimate goal of alleviating world poverty and addressing the issue of our environmental crisis.  After determining traditional business loans were out of the question for such an unusual venture, owner Ruth A Johnston investigated other methods.  She researched dozens of sites now offering this method of funding everything from business start up to musicians releasing a cd.  Eventually she found StartSomeGood.com and upon learning it was a site for businesses or non-profits that wanted to make a difference in their community, realized it was a perfect fit.  For Johnston, that community just so happens to be the world.  The fundraising campaign kicks off October 1 and runs through the end of the month, with the official launch date of the website being November 1.  For more information, you can go to: http://startsomegood.com/aworldofgoods (http://startsomegood.com/Venture/a_world_of_goods/Campaig...)
