Like 16,000,000 people in America each year, you are enrolled in college. It is an amazing achievement that doesn’t get enough recognition. On your mind, like most, is how to navigate this time of transition in your life.
How do I deal with professors, classmates, roommates, extra curricular, tough coursework, money – so many things are on your mind, and we are here to help you.
Using Byeuni, you can see how others in your position are dealing with the same things you are, taking and giving advice on academics, social skills and beyond. You can inspire friends, family and others, and raise the funds you need to bring your future to fruition. We got you and you got this!
Why collect all your cash gifts in one place? Because people love you and are proud of you. They want to participate in this transformational event in your life. They want to give you gifts. Americans spent $5.2 billion in 2019 on graduation gifts. Most graduation gifts are cash. Byeuni.com is a website designed for students to get the most gift money from the most people. But even more, they can learn about you, your challenges and achievements, and contribute to your success easily and efficiently. All you need is a PayPal account.
FUNDRAISING
Wow you needed a lot more money than you thought. DON’T PANIC. Start a Byeuni campaign!
Unlike some other fundraising sites, Byeuni is not for basket-cases. It’s positive fund raising – and unlike some sites, you get the money immediately, as it comes in – you don’t have to wait until some nebulous goal is met.
The success of your Byeuni gift campaign lies in your hands. Scary, isn’t? Sure, but it’s also exhilarating. With your hands on all the controls, you control your destiny.
A Successful Byeuni campaign has these elements:
- A compelling personal story of your triumph.
- Lots of photos and video of you and your school experience
- Interaction between you and the people you have invited to your Byeuni
- Lots of updates – give people reasons to come back to your page (and give you another gift)
- Setting up your withdrawals with Stripe Merchant Account so you can collect your cash gifts.
- Sharing by inviting contacts from your address book and on your social media.
How Long Will Your Campaign Be? What is the optimal length of time for your campaign to be successful? It’s important to find a balance. Too long and you exhaust your followers (and yourself) and decrease your chances of success; too short and you might be cutting off opportunities for engagement with potential backers. According to insights, the optimal campaign length is 45-90 days. Whatever length works best for your audience and your business, make sure to plan strong campaign bookends — 42% of funds are raised in the first and last three days of a campaign. Give yourself a timeline that allows for a realistic execution of your idea. Demarcate important phases, communication frequency (crowdfunding campaigns raise 126% more when owners update supporters), and desired campaign milestones.
Stay in Contact and update, update, update.
While you run your campaign, you can’t neglect the king of your website: content. Continue to furnish your site with blog posts, articles, and useful information so that audiences have a reason to keep engaging with you after the campaign ends. If your site contains a wealth of valuable content, there’s a better chance of visitors sticking around, interacting, and joining your loyal band of followers (surely, they’re going to be your number one fans — foam fingers, anyone?) Don’t forget your added contacts will receive notifications that your Byeuni page has been updated – prompting them to come back to your page.
Stay Social. Keep the momentum going by linking to your social media accounts on your site, so that audiences can engage with you in multiple ways. This also provides them with other avenues to receive campaign updates and share links (meaning: mo’ eyes = mo’ money!)
Upload a Video. The numbers don’t lie: campaigns with personal videos do a whole lot better than those that don’t. Like 100% more gifts. It’s hard to argue with that. An emotionally-resonant video will prove an asset to your campaign and provides essential information to potential gift givers: who you are,, and why they should support you (or, the what and why).
