How to start a campaign
You can publish in under a minute. No signup required to create. Share the link immediately after publish: most campaigns that take off get their first supporter within an hour.
Before you start
- ·Have a square frame ready: a transparent PNG with a hole for the face, or pick a color ring in the builder.
- ·Know the title you want on the share link (cause name, event, candidate, team).
- ·Plan to paste the link in WhatsApp or a group chat right after publish.
Steps
- 1
Make the frame
Go to Create. Upload your PNG or choose a style. Drag the photo window if you use a custom design. The live preview stays visible while you adjust.
- 2
Name the campaign
Give it a clear title supporters will recognize. Optional: goal, category, custom slug (ollabs.studio/c/your-slug).
- 3
Publish
Tap publish. Ollabs saves your frame and gives you a share link. If you are signed in, the campaign also appears under My campaigns on any device.
- 4
Share in the first hour
Open WhatsApp from the publish screen and send the link to one group you trust. Most first supporters arrive within an hour of sharing. Waiting a day rarely works.
After publish
Bookmark the manage link (the URL with ?k=...) to see views, supporters, and countries. You can change the frame later without losing your link or count.
Optional: claim a hub at ollabs.studio/u/your-handle for your bio, with Join pointing at this campaign.
Common questions
Do supporters need an account?
No. They open your link, add a photo, and download or share. Never a signup wall.
Can I change the frame after publishing?
Yes. Use Change the frame on your manage dashboard. Your link, supporter count, and old shares keep working.
What if nobody joins?
Share again in WhatsApp. One group message beats posting once and waiting. The manage page nudges you if you still have zero supporters.
Is there a watermark?
No. Supporters get a clean image. Ollabs never charges them to remove a watermark.
