while good looks can help your campaign, you can’t rely on them to get your campaign funded
Ask Your Family To Support Your Dream
Don’t forget to tell your family what you are up to. This includes your immediate family as well as your extended family. Make sure to tell them why you are running your campaign. Pssst. “To Make Money” probably isn’t the best answer. Bring some passion and enthusiasm to the table and be rewarded with your first purchases from those that love you most.
Your Friends Are Down For Your Cause
Enlist the help of your friends. Ask them to show support for your campaign by making a purchase. Once they purchase, make sure they tell their friends they supported your campaign. If they cannot support the campaign financially still ask them to help you spread the word via their social channels.
A Simple Email Goes A Long Way
Never underestimate how impactful your personal emails are. Make sure to send an email to your list at the start of your campaign introducing your campaign and what you hope to achieve. Don’t forget to follow up with everyone.
Use Phone Calls To Follow Up And Close Sales
There are some people that you expect to support your campaign. Don’t hesitate to follow up your personal email with a personal phone call. Give time and attention where there are certain sales.
Social Builds Proof And Spreads The Word
For the duration of your campaign you are the head cheerleader and are responsible for letting everyone know about your campaign. Make sure to tap your personal social channels and work with any close friends that have influence over large audiences.
Link From Websites To Drive Campaign Traffic
Hopefully your campaign is targeting a specific demographic audience. If so, it is likely that people in your demographic congregate in places on the web. Perhaps it is a forum, a subreddit, or a facebook group. Make sure to introduce your campaign to the audience and provide a link to your campaign.
