5 (and a bit) Facebook Crowdfunding Tips
Last summer witnessed Facebook reach over a billion registered users and it’s a tool that should not be ignored when it comes to crowdfunding your idea.

If you're not using Facebook for your project yet, you’re missing out on one of the largest and fastest ways to directly interact with potential fans and backers.
Top 5 Pledge Rewards
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: the more project has to offer, the better!

PleaseFund.Us is not a charity. Simples.
Whilst it’s important to support our friends and family who raise money for good causes, I for one am slightly fed up with being inundated with ‘JustGiving’ requests. I’m fed up with the guilt. It’s guilt that comes with neglecting numerous donation requests, and that overrides my initial good karma from the first £50 that JustGiving debited from my account.
