The BEST ways to support the campaign. 🌿

These two approaches will have the biggest impact (way more than posting on social media.)

Pledge early. (If you plan to back the campaign doing so in the first week has the biggest impact.)
Tell a friend. (Sending the campaign link directly to a friend.)

WHEN TO POST?

The two best times are post are the first week (early September) and the final week (the end of September.)

There’s always a dip in the middle. I wrote more about this and other behind-the-scenes tips in my free course Crowdfunding 101.

Please link directly to Indiegogo when you can.

This book is for busy mums. make it easy for them.

Sharing a direct link makes it much easier to preorder. Let’s help those mums preorder the book before they have to make dinner or get chewing gum out of their kid’s hair.

We’re also mums. Make it easy for yourself.

I do this by setting up text replacement. You can also save the URL in your Notepad.

Try to include this link even when you are sharing someone else’s posts. It really does make a difference.

Scripts 💬

If you’re not sure how to describe the project you can borrow any of this text:

Entwined is an anthology that weaves together stories of creativity and motherhood. This is a grassroots project including 55 mothers who are painters, writers, potters, visual artists, musicians, poets, and multipassionates. The purpose of this project is to inspire mothers to pursue creativity in their own way.

Ember is an art journal companion. A variety of creative prompts (writing, observation, ideating, dreaming, and making) curated to help mothers to kindle their creative sparks.

You can support the project by preordering, donating a copy, or sharing on social media.
