Looking for ways to amp up your peer-to-peer program? Here are 7 actions you can encourage your supporters to take to be more successful. Supporters who take these actions raise more than those who don't.

3) Upload a profile photo - Donors want to see who they're supporting. Adding a photo helps to personalize your page and provides a human connection to your fundraising. People who do this raise up to 10 times more.
4) Share your story and post page updates - Tell people what motivated you to start your fundraising, and continue to post updates through out your journey. Adding a few words about why you're fundraising can help you raise up to 74% more.
5) Share your page - Our most successful fundraisers share their page within an hour of creating it.

6) Say thank you - A simple but critical piece of your fundraising. On everydayhero, you can write a personal thank you note to your donor directly from your supporter page. Donors who feel appreciated are more likely to donate to you again. In your thank you note, you might even ask them to join you by becoming a fundraiser or sharing your campaign with others.
7) Connect your MapMyFitness or Strava – Giving is more than just money. Every mile you do, every hour you give, every calorie you burn is energy giving focus to your cause. When you connect your MMF or Strava to your everydayhero page, your fitness activities automatically upload to your supporter page (you can also add your fitness efforts manually).
