One of the biggest questions we often hear from our campaign owners is, "Who is going to give to my campaign?" It's a valid concern, and we understand that it can be intimidating to ask for help from your friends, family, and community. However, we want to encourage you to share your campaign with your inner circle because those are the people most likely to give to your campaign.

Studies have shown that the majority of donations to crowdfunding campaigns come from people who know the campaigner personally. That's because those who are closest to you are often the most invested in your success and want to support you in any way they can. We’ve seen this to be especially true on GiveSendGo. So, if you're hesitant to share your campaign, we urge you to take the leap and share it with those closest to you. Here are some tips to make the process a little easier:

Start with a Personal Message:
Instead of just sharing your campaign link on social media, start with a personal message explaining why your campaign is important to you and why you need their help. This will help your friends and family understand your situation and will encourage them to support you.

Share Your Campaign Everywhere:
Share your campaign link on all of your favorite social media platforms, through email, and even through text message. The more you share, the more likely people are to see your campaign and support it.
Give Updates:
Don't forget to give updates on your campaign's progress which you can do through your campaign dashboard and will appear as updates on your campaign page. Share milestones and accomplishments, and thank your supporters publicly. This will keep people engaged and interested in your campaign.

Be Grateful:
Remember to always be grateful for any support you receive. Even if someone is not able to donate, they can still leave a prayer message for you and share your campaign with their own network, which can help to spread the word even further.

While it's true that your campaign may not go viral and attract strangers to donate, it's important to remember that your friends, family, and community can make a big difference. So don't be afraid to share your campaign with them and ask for their support. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.

Giving and sharing are some of the most important aspects of life. Whether you are raising money for a charitable cause or supporting someone in need, crowdfunding campaigns like the ones on GiveSendGo have become increasingly popular. If you have a GiveSendGo campaign, you may be wondering how to promote it on YouTube to get more visibility and support. Here are some tips to help you effectively promote your GiveSendGo campaign on YouTube.

1. Create a compelling video
The first and most important step in promoting your GiveSendGo campaign on YouTube is to create a compelling video. Your video should tell your story and explain to those watching why your campaign is important. Be sure to include visuals and graphics that help to illustrate your story. You should also include a call-to-action, encouraging viewers to support your campaign. That may be the perfect time to share your campaign link by having it appear on the screen or putting it in the description of your video. 

2. Optimize your video for search
Once you have created your video, you need to optimize it for search. This means including keywords in your video title, description, and tags that people are likely to search for when looking for campaigns like yours. If your campaign is about adopting a child, include the word “adoption”. If it’s to raise money for an upcoming mission trip maybe include the tag “mission” or the location name. This would be another reason why you should also include a link to your GiveSendGo campaign in the description of your video.

3. Use YouTube advertising
If you want to create a catchy and concise YouTube video or multiple videos to promote your campaign, there's an effective way to ensure it reaches a larger audience: by utilizing YouTube advertising. You can tailor your ad campaign to target people who are likely to be interested in your cause, and place your ad before, during, or after other relevant YouTube videos. While it's important to encourage your closest network to support your campaign, YouTube advertising can help you reach a wider audience, even if you have a limited budget.

4. Collaborate with other YouTubers
Another way to promote your GiveSendGo campaign on YouTube is to collaborate with other YouTubers. Look for YouTubers who have a similar audience to yours and reach out to them to see if they would be willing to promote your campaign in exchange for you promoting theirs. This can be a win-win situation for both of you.

5. Share your video on social media
Finally, be sure to share your video on all of your social media platforms. This includes Gab, Truth Social, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Getter, and any other social media platforms that you use. You should also encourage your friends and family to share your video on their social media platforms as well.

In conclusion, promoting your GiveSendGo campaign on YouTube can be a great way to get more visibility and support for your cause. By creating a compelling video, optimizing it for search, using YouTube advertising, collaborating with other YouTubers, and sharing your video on social media, you can reach a wider audience and increase your chances of reaching your fundraising goals on GiveSendGo.
