**More about this episode: ** Successful Online Fundraising
If you’re planning on online fundraising event, here’s key points you need to know:
- Learn to adapt! This is not about duplicating your live physical event, but more about an adaptation of that event. Consider what elements will work best for your online event.
- Celebrity-driven events may work well for physical event, but you’ll need to consider your audience if you use a celebrity for your online event.
- Leader-driven events allow the leaders to share the genuine story of what they do. Consider who you are inviting to join you online as you made the decision between a celebrity and a real leader of the organization driving the event.
- Pretaped or live event: The audience doesn’t typically notice. Do what you feel most comfortable with as statistics don’t necessarily show a difference between the two.
- Last year’s rundown won’t work. Take the essence and the goals of your event and adjust it for online.
- It doesn’t have to be perfect. Keep your online event authentic and real.
- Plan key emotional moments. Show the story of your organization of lives that have been changed because of what you do.
- As you plan out the event, create one story arc, one overarching story of how your ministry is impacting lives.
- It’s not about you – it’s about the result of the work you’re doing. That’s what will inspire people to get behind what you do.
- Keep your event between 1-2 hours. With attention the currency of this moment, determine: What can you present that will be so compelling that it will keep people with you online for the entire event?
