July Newsletter- 7.15.08


How is everyone's summer going? sKoolBoY is continuing to grow and we continue to evolve as well. Over the past couple of weeks, we have added some new categories such as Solutions Manuals, Dorm Posters, and reintroduced DVDs to the site. We have also created a special category called Bid on a Private Tutor. If you are going to use the category 'Bid on a Private Tutor,' then you should scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the link that says 'how to bid on a Private Tutor.'

The sKoolBoY blog is updated daily with new information from the site and other random stories found on the internet. Don't forget to check that out. Very Funny Stuff.


We are proud to announce that the sKoolBoY group page on Facebook has reached 165 members and continues to grow everyday. The sKoolBoY profile page is doing just as good at 866 members and growing everyday. We hope to reach as many people on Facebook as possible since they are our base.

On a side note, we have started a charitable initiative to donate 15% of all site earnings to organizations that deal with juvenile delinquency, drug abuse among teens, and orphaned teens. This is an ambitious initiative but we look to tackle it because kids are the future. We hope by improving their circumstances we will better able them to facilitate a brighter future for others. We will donate 15% of all site earnings if the number of users on the site reaches ten thousand members or the Facebook group page reaches one million members. Please help tell others about this initiative by inviting others to our Facebook group page or by telling others to sign up on our site.

We are still hiring interns for the summer and into upcoming Fall/Spring Semesters. If you would like to become an intern, please email us at jobopp@skoolboy.com.
We know you do not want to hear this but (whisper) school is right around the corner. Ahhh!!! We know that is a nightmare for some and beautiful music to some people's ears. Either way, we just want to remind you to check the site for your textbooks or sell your textbooks and other stuff to students who will be visiting the site before school starts.

That's all the happenings for this month and next month, based on how business negotiations go with a certain firm, we may have a big announcement either next month or in the coming months. Stay tuned and continue to check the site everyday for new listings or new categories that are created. Remember: Users can suggest categories to the site. Peace.

Completely Unrelated (C.U)- Dark Knight comes out in three days!!! Go see it, we will be there. We are thinking about sponsoring some sort of summer activity. If you are interested and live in the Miami, FL area, then send us an email at contact@skoolboy.com. If you do not live in the Miami area, you can still participate but in your respective cities and we can talk about the activity on the blog afterwards. If you have an idea for some sort of activity, tell us about it.
