The most important thing to consider about your Fundraising page is how much traffic it is getting. Simply put, the more traffic, the more sponsors. You can always monitor your traffic in the Visitors tab on your Fundraising Page.
The following tips will help you to drive traffic and make the most of your page for when people visit.
Personalize Your Fundraising Page
Your Fundraising page will be more instantly recognizable and effective if you personalize it as much as possible. This shows that you're engaged, and believe in your cause. If you believe in it, so will they!
Upload a Photo of Yourself
Click the yellow "Profile Settings" button.
Upload a photo of yourself or use your Facebook profile photo.
Add Photos or a Personal Video to your Page
Click the yellow "Add Photo or Video" button.
Upload up to 5 photos or one video to make your Fundraising page more engaging.
TIP: Use your phone to record to upload a video to YouTube explaining your passion for the cause and how people can help.
Add a Welcome Message:
The Welcome Message is the first thing people will read about why you are fundraising. Write about the following:
Who are you?
Why are you raising funds?
Why should others support you?
Write personal and regular Updates to engage your family and friends.
Write Updates Often
It's commonly known that people need to see something about 17 times before they decide to act. That's why posting Updates daily or weekly is so essential in your success. Every time you post an Update, remember to post it to your social media accounts and email it to your friends. We recommend writing an Update to your Fundraising page at least once a week.
Share Your Page
Use the social media buttons in the "Spread the Word" section of your page to share your page on sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Tumblr. You can also copy the direct link to your fundraising page to share on other sites or send via email to your friends and family.
