Customizing your Personal / Team Web page

You can do this by either clicking on the red “My Webpage” tab at the top of MY HQ or by clicking on the link that says “Build/Edit my webpage now” that is under the My To Do List heading.

2.        You are now ready to customize your personal webpage, where people can go to give you donations or join Team Rebecca!

OK now that you have your site all set and ready to go, it’s time to send out emails to friends and family to either get pledges or more team members.

1. To do this you need to click on the “Email” tab in My HQ, or click “Send emails to friends and family” under the To Do List.
2. There are two fields that need to be filled in for each email sent out.  A greeting,  and the email address.  Each email will have a customized greeting at the beginning. 

3. Once you have put in the greeting and address, you can compose your message.  You may either choose a template (donation solicitation, donation, thank you, join my team, team member thank you) or type in a blank one (which can be saved).  When you’re finished typing in recipients and choosing or typing a message you can choose to preview the email, or go ahead and send it out.
4. The Email History Log allows you to see details about each email that you sent, including who it was, if they followed the link to your page, if they joined the team, and most important if they gave a donation and how much.  You can also use this section to re-send emails that didn’t produce a hit to your website.
