Polish your Charity Lens
9 Things Successful Charities Do on Squidoo
#1: Polish your Charity Lens
Online, the first impression prospective donors get of your charity isn’t of your clean office. It isn’t of a smartly dressed organization rep, or even of your first class brochures. The first thing many prospective donors see is your website.
For charities on Squidoo, this means your lens is the first impression prospective donors get before deciding to donate cash or create a lens for your benefit. You want to make sure it’s the best it can be!
If you’re just getting started creating a lens, Creating your “About Our Charity” Lens is your first stop for helpful tips. Once you’ve done that, check out Polishing your New Lenses for more ideas on tweaking the details of your lens.
You can even drop by our forum at SquidU.com for a peer-driven critique.
A fun lens (or two or nine) is the best way to engage your donors and show off the sweet side of your organization. Show them in pictures and words why you’re worth it, and they’ll be hooked.
