Apparently one of the more successful precursors to SaveKaryn.com was the
SendMeADollar.com site, send a dollar and you get a link and some traffic for your site. I have to say after having seen a lot of begging sites, people need to
lighten up! I think you really need to add the humor element in with the need element and make sure you don't sound pathetic or overdramatic in the process. Anyone can say they have the worst situation in the world, so I think to be convincing you have to admit that maybe your situation isn't that bad etc.
I think people probably don't realize the work (i.e. marketing, updates etc) that goes on behind the scene. If you check out
LetMeStayForADay.com people will probably realize that they need to put in an order of magnitude more effort in getting the word out. I think Karyn being a TV producer probably helped her land some great media attention, and same for the guy behind
LetMeStayForADay.com who also had some media experience, they understood what the media wanted (in essence what people wanted) and were able to deliver that.
Great quote from
About.com Worst of the Web: "
It's almost astounding that, with so many scams, and, for that matter, legitimate charities on the Net, it's a financially irresponsible woman's formerly uncontrollable desire for Gucci handbags that finally gets people to open their wallets"
