How to Raise Funds for an NGO online?

 How to start Online Fundraising in India for your NGO?





It’s a big question when it comes to raising funds online for charity causes or NGOs.

Being in the industry for 3 years now, I have some tips to give out for the ones who belong to the industry of online fundraising for charity.

Many people from the smaller NGOs look at my profile and call me or come to meet me to know what are my tactics or ideas/approach to raising funds from online channels especially in India.

We all know the Indian mentality differs from place to place, culture to culture when it comes to charity giving. Though we all know “Charity begins at home”, we teach often to our children in the day-to-day life and the schools too try to inculcate this habit to children by promoting HelpAge India for example along with many others (guess, you all know what I am talking about as each one of us has done this).

This piece is written keeping in mind the small-time NGOs (the local NGOs) who want to do fundraising through online channels.

First and foremost, remember if you are to be present online you must have done some positive/quality work that benefited the community that you are located/worked. You should be known in your close circles and among peers and have some on-ground presence with some publicity in press/media. This is called image building or visibility.

You need to start creating profiles on the social media and start showcasing your work, your projects, your agenda, goals achieved and so on (facts & figures, success stories with testimonials are very important here). Please keep building content at every step of your work (images, stories, videos, testimonials, case studies, learning, etc.). 

Simultaneously, you will have to work to put a responsive website (which is all device - both Mobile/tabs & Laptop friendly) – meaning, which adapts to the mobile devices of any size and any other devices which are used to browse the website.

I always wondered whether SEO was a difficult one and how is SEO done for a website?

Search Engine Optimization or SEO looked like impossible and a word/phrase which was like it came from a different world altogether. I always thought it was too difficult a job to do an SEO for any website and never wanted to even try that as it sounded as though it had got lot of technicalities, like meta keywords, tags, and so on. These fears were only until I attended Suresh's class on SEO this week. After that it's like me saying, is that all..."OMG, I CAN DO IT"; am so very confident now and ready to take up SEO for any given website. Suresh (WMA) made it look so simple with few techniques & the guidelines which he explained that one should & must follow. With just a few simple steps, you are ranking your website on top of the Search Engines; that's wonderful, isn't it? He made us practice at length until we got the real gist of it; he was not even willing to go ahead with the class until we proved him that we got what he thought. And this

My journey in the world of Advertising – Traditional to Digital

‘Adworld is Madworld’ – this is what I had heard as a child. And above I had heard people talk that the ones who are in the advertising world are not the people with morale. So advertising for me was not by choice it was by chance. I started my journey when I was barely 18 years and just out of my 12 th . Fate brought me to this field and I continued to pursue this as I got literally addicted and passionate about the industry. Actually I wanted to be a doctor and I bet each one of us as a child either want to be a doctor, teacher or an engineer. This idea is instilled within us from the day we are born. My Journey - Traditional to Digital Advertising But destiny plays. So here I am almost 15 years in the advertising industry and still going. Many a times I too have felt that I may not belong here because of the culture that is in the advertising industry but has enjoyed my journey all along. Traditional or Conventional advertising was ruling until few years
