What are some quick ways to boost your crowdfunding for cancer campaign?

1. Make sure that your base is secured. This means writing a great fundraiser. Your fundraiser should be lucid and identifiable. It should portray you as an honest and genuine person. Remember that credibility is really important when it comes to crowdfunding. People do not want to donate to someone who does not have very clean credentials.
2. How do you demonstrate that you are credible? Well, to begin with post pictures of medical documents. This includes prescriptions, reports, diagnosis, medical bills and everything else. Moreover, post pictures of the patient you are campaigning for. This gives flesh and blood to your campaign.
3. Campaigning alone is very difficult, especially in cases of medical crowdfunding where you may be busy taking care of the patient. Hence, you should always work with a team to back you up. Include people you trust in this team. Remember that they will keep track of the campaign from day to day. Moreover, they will also handle your financial operations. These people should be efficient and trustworthy.
4. There are various people who have suffered from cancer and have survived. They have been cured of the disease. Many of these people are fairly well- to- do and hence in a good place to donate to your campaign. Contact as many cancer survivors as possible. It would be a great boost for your campaign.
5. If you think that only one fundraiser is not enough, you can start a number of fundraisers by different people targeted at the same cause. This gives you better visibility. If you start five fundraisers instead of one, chances of people viewing and donating to your fundraiser increases by five times. This is especially true for those fundraisers which circulate on social media.
6. Remember to keep all your contributors in a loop. This creates a financial support network for you. It enables you to have a set of go- to- people in case you need more funds. It is also healthy crowdfunding practice.
7. Remember to promote your campaign on social media. People will not give you money without a strong campaign. Release your fundraiser, photos and videos are important too. Make sure that your campaign gets the maximum amount of visibility you can give it.
