Tips on your webpage
When setting up your Spandana Stars page, be sure to personalise the appeal message.

Make sure you send the link to your Spandana Stars page along with a well written appeal to all the people in your address book. Tell them exactly how the money they give will be used and what impact it will have.

Post your Spandana Stars page link and a brief description of what you're raising funds for on whichever social networking site you use such as Facebook or Orkut. Lots of people take the time to read what their friends are doing.

Spandana offers tax benefits in the US to eligible NGOs so don't forget all your contacts overseas.

Do you have a blog? Write some posts about your Spandana Stars page and your efforts to get to your target amount.

Do any of your donors have a blog? Ask them to write about why they donated to your cause.

Don't give up after the first mail; many of your friends may need a gentle reminder so send at least one follow-up mail.

Ask your spouse, siblings, parents and children to help you spread the word.

Still can't think of who to send the link to? How about your….

cousins
neighbours
batchmates
colleagues
family friends
club/gym friends

One last tip - after your page expires, don't forget to write to everyone who donated to you thanking them and telling them that they helped you succeed.
