How to Have a Successful Campaign

Faces beat clip-art. A clear photo of the person, the animal, the damaged roof or the workbench does more than a logo.

• Shoot in daylight. No heavy filters. No stock photo if you can avoid it.
• Keep the file small — about 100 KB. Compress it at tinypng.com if it is too large.
• Strip location data from the photo if you do not want that location public.
• Only use images you have the right to publish.

A novel loses people. A sentence is not enough. A few hundred words is usually right — enough to answer the questions a careful stranger will ask.

Cover this, in this order:

• Who it is for, and who is running the page.
• What happened, and when.
• Where things stand now.
• What the coins will pay for.
• A clear ask: send Bitcoin to the address on this page, and please share the link.

Write it as you would say it to a neighbour. Perfect grammar is optional. Honesty is not.

If the facts change, the story has to change with them. Email support@bitbackme.com with the page link and the update.

The goal on BitBackMe is entered in satoshis. Use the calculator on the homepage if you think in dollars. The goal is a target, not a lock. You keep what arrives even if you never hit the number.

A lump sum with no breakdown feels vague. A short list feels real.

• Vet bill — 2,000,000 sats
• Travel to the hospital — 800,000 sats
• Two weeks of rent — 1,500,000 sats

Set the number to the actual need, not a fantasy. An honest target is easier to share. When you reach it, ask us to close the page.

BitBackMe is not a discovery engine that pours strangers onto a new listing. Your first donors are almost always people who already know you.

Before the page goes live, have this ready:

• Five to ten people who already know the story and will share or send something on day one.
• A short message you can copy — who it is for, why it matters, the link.

On day one:

• Text or call those people first. Personal messages beat a public blast.
• Then share on X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, church lists, club chats, email — wherever your people actually are.
• Ask them to share, not only to give. A share costs nothing and often does more than a second gift from the same person.
• Put the campaign link in your social bios while the page is live.

When you share, do not drop a naked link. One or two sentences. Who. Why. The page. Silence after day one looks like the need went away. Share again after a few days. Share when something changes.

A page that never changes looks abandoned. We do not have a public “updates” box you can type into yourself. Email support@bitbackme.com with the page link and what you want added, or post on the social accounts you linked.

Useful updates:

• What the last gifts paid for.
• A new photo.
• A milestone — halfway, a deadline, a good or bad turn.

People come back to pages that are moving. They give again when they can see the last gift went where you said.

You will not always know who sent the Bitcoin. Bitcoin is like that. Thank the ones you can see, and thank the rest in public.

• A short thank-you on X or Facebook, with the campaign link again.
• A line on the campaign page when we update it for you.
• A photo or a note when the bill is paid or the bed arrives.

When you hit the goal, email us and we will close or archive the page. If the campaign worked and you want to support the site, a small voluntary gift helps keep the lights on. That is a request, not a bill.

Do not demand names. Do not ask anyone for a seed phrase. Gratitude is enough.

• Headline says who and why.
• Photo is clear and under about 100 KB. Recommended size is for the image is 1200px width x 675px height. Dimensions less than this will cause the post to not render correctly. Sites like https://pixlr.com/ provide free crop and sizing. For best results, use a photo of who this is for, not a logo. *In the Alternative Text field describe the image.
• Story is honest and says where the coins will go.
• Goal is in satoshis and matches the real need.
• Bitcoin address checked, test payment sent, Mempool link added.
• X / Facebook added if you have them.
• First ten people you will message today are written down.
• The campaign is personal — a named person, family, close friend or their own animal. Not a charity, club or community project.
