This is my first time and I hate asking for help but We might end up homeless if not so I swallowed my pride for my family! Does this work? Any success stories and how much did you raise in how long?
Great question
The main way so far for my fundraiser to get donations is contacts that I have helped in some way, such as input that helped them in the past. In particular two businesses that appreciated my help.
I am now trying to continue through tweets on Twitter. So far, not as good on results. But I have not given up and I can’t afford to give up.
You’ve done a great job so far
I also recommend checking out Instagram as an option for getting your story in front of a lot of people. Instagram uses Reels, which is their version of TikTok. Because Instagram is competing for marketshare, they’re promoting videos broadly in order to attract creators. For example, I made a Reel for an Instagram account I run and it garnered over 8 thousand views. The video only took me about 20 minutes to make!
One tip I recommend is to reuse that video other places. For example, you can take your Reel and share it via text message, email, or other social media platforms.
