Some tips for engaging your supporters!
- Be emotional; people donate based on their feelings, and try to appeal to their emotions by showing supporters why this matters to them. Try to avoid using buzzwords and organizational language.
- Use conversational language, and talk about your project in a way that is approachable and easy to understand.
- Use "you" focused language; this allows supporters to see themselves as a part of the project and will help you appeal to them.
- Read your story out loud. Does it sound sincere, natural, and easy to understand?
