Subject: Help me fund my project

I created a project called "Save Sannine Dogs" on Zoomaal.com and looking for your help to raise funds for my project , please check my project link below and if you cannot contribute financially it would be great if you can spread the word about it http://www.zoomaal.com/p/savesanninedogs

Thank you for your help in making my project a reality.

Zoomaal, the first online crowd funding platform looking to reveal the ambitions of independent talents in the Arab world. Recently featured on CNN, Forbes, Booz & Co, New York Times, Wamda, etc.

Basically, Zoomaal is about sharing your idea/project with the world. Anyone who likes what you are doing could support and fund you easily online (through credit card), while you focus on perfecting your project. Zoomaal raised more than 2 Million Dollars for several success stories.

• Post it on your social network and ask your friends to help you support your project.
• Send it in an email to your friends or colleagues and ask them to help you support your project.
  

This is one of the best ways to get the word out to all of your friends and supporters about your project. Here's an example:

You can send out project updates via the 'Project Updates' tab on your project page.

This update will go out via email to all the people who have backed your project on the website. Also anyone viewing your project can click on the tab to read these updates

• Sending regular project updates helps to keep the momentum high and allows your backers to feel closer to the project. Also, communicating with people who have funded you this way can help build a relationship and in turn they can help promote your project

• Send out a project update half way through your crowdfunding campaign, telling your backers how much you appreciate their support so far and your aims for the rest of the campaign

• Address people individually; reply to people who post on your own blog, creating conversation with your supporters

• If you reach your target early, don’t give up on your project; keep crowdfunding. Send a project update with the hope of reaching a new milestone. Remember, you can always raise more than your target figure

Business Cards
Put a link to your Zoomaal campaign on your business card, or have additional business cards made up solely to promote your campaign, so you can hand them to contacts and other people you meet.

Flyers
Nothing like a good old-fashioned flyer. Post flyers in places people who are likely to take an interest in your project might find them.

Events
Attend events related to your project — readings, signings, lectures, gallery events, screenings, meet-ups — and talk up your campaign. Bring your business cards and postcards with you.

Conferences and Trade Shows
Why not table at a conference or trade show to try and drum up support for your campaign? Keep in mind the overhead, of course, but some small industry trade shows are reasonably priced and are a great way to reach out to potential supporters.

Fundraisers & Benefits
Throw a low-cost fundraiser and invite people to come out and hear about your project in the flesh.

PR Campaigns
Tell the news! Of course you may have to use ON-line tactics (like email) to get your story into the right hands, but don't underestimate the power of the printed word (people still read newspapers), television, and radio to get your story heard. Write up a press release, create a short, targeted list of media outlets that might take an interest in your story, and get yourself out there.

Give it to Your Parents
Remember when you were a kid and you had to sell chocolate bars to fund your school sports team? The best way to sell the candy wasn't door-to-door — it was to let your parents take the box to work and sell it to their co-workers. Our parents (or grandparents, or siblings, or mentors) are our most unabashed supporters. Give those people some postcards or flyers they can take to their networks to ask for support on your behalf.
