Tips for promoting your page:
Keep on it! For social media, don’t just post once hoping that you’ll get response and forget about it. Post 2-3 times a week sharing your link at different times on different days.
Make sure your posts are not limited in visibility to maximize exposure. Set viewing preference to “Public” so anyone can view and to be more easily shared and seen by others.
When posting, change your message up a bit each time so that you’re not saying the same thing each time.
Challenge your social media friends/connections. Post something like: “Please Help! If only (insert number) people on here give $(insert dollar amount) each, I’ll reach my goal of (insert your goal) in support of a great non-profit called Bornhava.”
Post/share your page directly to your friend’s pages. They’ll be more likely to see it and respond/give. Add a personal message when you share direct to increase probability of response/giving.
Ask people to Like and Share to help increase exposure.
