Hello, poor college student!

We here at Help! I'm Poor! are excited to see the end of the semester coming.

We'd like to remind you to sell your textbooks to your fellow students using http://HelpImPoor.com.

Just select your college and you can start listing books for free. You'll even get your own little bookstore URL (http://helpimpoor.com/YourUsernameHere) to share.

Listing books is very easy - if you have an ISBN, you can put it in and the site will automatically get the title, author(s), description, cover image, etc.!

If your fellow students start listing books, you can also see a list of everything being sold at your college (or narrow it to one particular seller if you'd like).

Oh, and did we mention it's free? Because it is. You literally couldn't give us money even if you wanted to. College students are poor enough as it is!
