Glimpse Unveils New Online Store for Study Abroad and Cross-Cultural Resources
Providence, RI (PRWeb) February 21, 2007 -- The 501(c)3 Glimpse Foundation has launched a new online store that consolidates the resources it offers to further cross-cultural understanding and to help prepare students and volunteers for their overseas experiences. The store is available here: http://store.glimpsefoundation.org
Among the new store's many offerings are subscriptions to Glimpse Quarterly, the Foundation's print publication, which features first-person narratives written by study abroad students and international volunteers. Glimpse Quarterly has been hailed by Keith Bellows, Editor in Chief of National Geographic Traveler as "heartfelt, honest, refreshingly young and explorative, (revealing) places with a distinctive voice that is important to anyone curious about the world."
In an effort to accommodate readers who are just discovering Glimpse, the new online store features box sets of back issues. Because of the magazine's focus on the daily realities of life in other countries, Glimpse articles have a uniquely long shelf life: the 2006 box set includes issues focusing on Australia and the great outdoors, race relations in South Africa, Italy's north/south divide, and Islam around the world. All back issues are also available for individual sale.
Other best-selling items include Glimpse's PDF Study Abroad Guides, covering such topics as culture shock, language learning, American identity abroad, race abroad, gender roles abroad, and traveling to developing countries. The guides are based on extensive surveys of hundreds of returned study abroad students across the country. Fresh, funny and insightful, they are proving to be the #1 resource for young adults who are preparing for an extended stay overseas. As Chris Deegan, Director of Study Abroad at University of Illinois, Chicago, says, they offer "student voices about themes critical to a successful study abroad experience and also to being an attentive and responsive community, national and global citizen."
The Glimpse Store also features the Foundation's 2007 calendar, which includes the 12 winning photos from its spring photo contest. Glimpse's annual photo contests call for photos that speak to a certain theme; past themes have included "A Day's Work," depicting people around the world in their work environments; "A Day's Rest," depicting people around the world enjoying their leisure time; and "It's All in the Family," depicting family scenes around the world. Limited copies of the 2007 calendar are still available for sale.
The Glimpse Foundation was established by Brown University students in November 2001 and began full-time production in May 2002, with generous seed funds from the National Geographic Society. In pursuit of its mission to foster cross-cultural understanding and exchange, particularly between the United States and the rest of the world, Glimpse also publishes a website, GlimpseAbroad.org, which serves as a gathering space for study abroad students and other young travelers. It offers a database of over 400 articles from almost 100 countries, as well as "Ask the Expert" peer-to-peer communication features and a growing library of blog posts.

Google Adsense Profits Mixed In With Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effective ways to advertise online. It is also one of the easiest ways for anyone with a website to make a profit online. Affiliate Marketing is an agreement between a merchant and a website owner. The website owner, or the affiliate, allows the use of their site for the promotion of the merchant's products by linking to the merchant's website. In exchange, the merchant pays a commission to the affiliate on all sales generated by the affiliate. Every time someone clicks on the link on the affiliate website and proceeds to make a purchase, the affiliate gets a commission. The merchant will pay the affiliate only when a customer clicks on the product link and makes a purchase.
