Mulu Publisher Webinar- Tuesday 1/17 @ 3pm CDT

Join us for a webinar with Mulu. See below for details.

Mulu, which launched Dec. 5, is a distinctive, new social platform that will change the way consumers discover and share everything they love online, while simultaneously playing an active role on behalf of social good.

Mulu users are trend-setting curators who post their personal picks with resulting sales benefitting their cause of choice. Mulu is not an e-commerce site, but works with them as an affiliate partner to drive traffic to their sites. It's a fun place to socialize and connect and make a difference in the world.

Users can pull their favorite things from anywhere on the web. When an item they recommend is sold, half of the affiliate fee goes directly to their designated cause. Mulu brings curators, charities and consumers together to democratize the discovery experience: Want book recommendations? Visit Jonathan Franzen's Mulu page. Need a jacket for your date on the lower east side? Wes Anderson's got you covered. A candy- colored iPhone case? Check out picks from Zooey Deschanel and the girls at HelloGiggles.
