# How do I create a Campaign?

[How To Start Your BackaBuddy Campaign and Raise Funds (Step-by-Step Guide)](https://www.youtube.com/embed/A9KkLX5tgoM?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1)

To create a campaign, follow these steps:

1. Log in or create your profile.
2. Click on the "Start Campaign" button located in the header bar. If it's your first campaign, you can also access it through Profile > My Campaigns.
3. On this page, you'll have the option to initiate different types of campaigns: Self-managed, Bluetick, or Organisation crowdfunding campaigns. Each type has distinct features:
   - **Self-managed:** All funds raised are directly paid out to your supplied bank account.
   - **Bluetick:** The blue tick icon signifies that all raised funds will be directly disbursed to relevant beneficiary organisations or professionals *(where applicable)*.
   - **Organisation:** All raised funds are directly paid out to the linked organisation.
4. Provide comprehensive details about your campaign, including text information, images/videos, and links to your social media profiles.
5. You can either "Save & Preview" your campaign before it goes live or "Launch" it immediately.

***Please note:** Funds can only be requested once [verification details](https://news.backabuddy.co.za/support/vetting/why-do-i-need-to-verify-my-campaign/) have been submitted and the first donation has been received.*

*Check out our video tutorial for a visual walkthrough of these steps.*

**Congratulations! Your campaign is now live and ready to make an impact.**
