I usually help strangers, I am more likely to give a strange needy guy some money than a loan to my friend. Apart from that I donate 4% of my income to a NGO that works for welfare of poor uneducated kids. How about you wickedfire?
How do you give back to the community?

I pay the kids in my neighborhood $20 for each bike they "find" and bring to me, and then I sell them on e-Bay for $40.
It gives the kids something to do so they stay out of trouble, and it's profitable as well.

Isn't that like reading "OMG WHY DID GOOGLEZ SLAP MY EMDS AGAIN" threads but in real life? You sir must have amazing patience.
I never said anything about stealing.
These are good kids.
They happen to be great at finding bicycles.

It's very rewarding.

haha, not quite. My office is at an incubator which also happens to be an SBA and the employees here do exactly what you described.
The org that I work with hosts events modeled after shark-tank so the only consulting I do is helping people improve their pitch.
I was thinking the conversations would stall out when you asked someone, "so what's the roi on that yellowpages ad? are you split testing it with different numbers or are you using a coupon, what's the average transaction on it?"
followed by crickets for days or the "oh nonono, this is for brand awareness..."
I think you are considering everybody on Earth makes a living by Internet Marketing.
If those orphans need jobs when they get older, I'm always looking for young children with excellent bicycle location skills.
