Course Description

If you’ve been wondering which fundraising platform to choose and how to create a campaign that has been sitting in your head for some time, be my guest. Here’s a quick course where you’ll learn how to make a successful GoFundMe campaign to get the resources for fulfilling your dream! There’s no need to look for bits of tips and information from many different places – find all the essentials in one GoFundMe tutorial and start collecting money for your cause with no delay.

People aren't born knowing how to make a successful GoFundMe campaign

GoFundMe is the optimal choice of online fundraising platforms. Compared to other big platforms offering the same service (e.g., Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, etc.), GoFundMe allows campaigners to collect all the donations (minus miniature fees) for a broad and unrestricted range of causes – no approvals needed for your projects. That means, it’s not ‘all or nothing’ case as in Kickstarter, so your chances to start your project are higher even if you don’t collect the required amount at once. GoFundMe campaigns are extremely shareable, so, when you know the underlying principles, you’ll hit large audiences. In my experience, I’ve tried a few online fundraising platforms, and GoFundMe is my number one option.

However, crafting a successful campaign is not an easy feat. Good vibes and a perfect world-saving idea might not be enough. It’s worth the time and effort spent on learning how to use GoFundMe before you go public because you’ll never get a chance to have a second take on making the first impression. I know you might be burning with desire to drop lines in a flash and go around sharing the link to your campaign, but let’s just have a bit more patience for a detailed GoFundMe tutorial and learning how to make a successful GoFundMe campaign!
