Okay, first, how can Beingful help my cause?

Beingful is a platform to share stories that inspire your supporters and then in that moment convert their inspiration into action. This is done through what we call a “challenge.”

Drive greater engagement. Build lasting relationships.

Think of a challenge as a really smart social media post. A way of sharing information, and then a tailored action that people can take in response. This action takes the place of clicking ‘like’ or ‘comment.’

Once supporters accept a challenge, Beingful provides the tools to continue to build your relationship with your supporters and illustrate the impact of their actions.

Beingful 1.1 has some powerful new features:

• Click-of-the-button sharing: Easily share your challenges at the click-of-a-button (they could be events, petitions, sign-up forms, etc).
• Public-profiles: Collect all your actions on a single public profile that you can share with anyone.
• Build a database with zero effort: Effortlessly build a database of supporters as they accept your challenges.
• Auto-follow: Once someone accepts your challenge, they automatically follow you (they can opt out).
• Illustrate impact: Easily follow-up with people via our messages feature after they accept your challenge to tell them about their impact. People love hearing his!

Who could benefit from Beingful?

• Any cause that’s tired of posting photos on Instagram without any links to drive supporters to action. Am-I-right?!
• Foundations that want to harness the power of data analytics and learn more about what drives social impact from their audience. Ex: Do they prefer going to events vs. donating?
• Political campaigns on a shoestring budget that want to share actions and keep track of who supports them without going through the hassle of building a list in Excel.
• Non-profits that want a succinct way to communicate actions people can take in 30-seconds or less.
• Teachers who want to curate a list of civic activities their students can get involved with.
• College student groups that want a way to build their influence with fellow students on-campus without having to compete with all the noise on social media platforms.

So that’s Beingful for causes in a nutshell. We hope you sign-up for updates on when 1.1 is released!

How the core of our new social platform works

Background

Beingful is a social platform for social impact. We empower you to create, share, and react to challenges with your friends that make an impact in your community and then to track your impact. We envision a community that offers simple, but meaningful, opportunities to get active the moment you’re inspired to act.

The problem

Many of us are overwhelmed by the massive amount of information we get bombarded with on popular social platforms today, which often becomes highly charged and negative when it turns political or civic-related.

These platforms were built for sharing updates about our lives, like family vacations or going out with friends. They were never intended for discussions around important issues, much less meaningful action on those issues. It’s clear that ‘likes’ and ‘comments’ do not build stronger communities.

Our solution

Sharing a challenge on Beingful is equivalent to ‘posting’. However, instead of posting a photo or video and receiving ‘likes’ or ‘comments,’ we designed a new experience that enables you to share information, but also combine it with a call to action. This action is how people react to your post. We envision our community finding a small action they can take every day on a range of topics (hopefully via a challenge created by you!).

How to create a Beingful challenge

Creating a challenge takes seconds. First, select the content (news, photos, videos, stories, events, or links) that you want to share. We call this the “story.” Then, designate an action. An action can be as simple as asking friends to read a thought-provoking news article, or something more engaging, like joining an event, petition, or sign-up form. The sky is the limit, so this is where we want you to get creative. 😎

The actual process of adding content is done via pasting a link for now, but in the future, we plan to give you a variety of tools to create truly custom challenges.

a story + an action = a Beingful challenge

Tracking your impact

We all enjoy seeing the impact of our good work. It’s not just about personal gratification, but it also energizes us to keep giving back for the good of our community. Beingful built a process to track your impact, which we will cover in more detail in a later article — but just know that by simply creating and accepting challenges we will help automatically track your impact.

Sharing with friends

Finally, no challenge would be complete unless you share it with your friends. Beingful gives you a variety of options to share:

• Facebook, Twitter, email, or simply copy and paste your unique challenge link to share via text message or any other way you would like.
