Impaq.me makes sharing more effectiveNumber of clicks per shared item

How does an Impaq.me campaign work?

Funder grants money to INN for administration.

Money goes into a “campaign.”

1. Start with a campaign fund

Earn-to-Cap

All-or-nothing

Matching drives – coming soon

Challenge campaign – coming soon

2. Choose a Campaign Type

Do you want to ask a user to donate $?

Do you want info like an email address?

Do you want to sell them something?

3. Choose a Secondary Action

- Shares and clicks start to roll in.

- $1 gets credited to the nonprofit from the campaign

fund for each share and each click-back.

4. Launch the Widget on the Nonprofits’ Site

Every campaign yields TONS of DATA on what was

clicked, what was shared, what articles were the MOST INFLUENTIAL, the most popular, how content performs

on different platforms & much more.

5. Dig Into the Data
