How to start a good online petition?

[[мιssα!]]

Social media is your friend when it comes to things like this. Use it to your full advantage! E-mail is okay, but people tend to delete them or let it sit in their inbox. Do you have facebook, twitter, tumblr? I wouldn't be to "spammy" about it (just sending out links to your petition) but get people in the know about what you're petitioning. tumblr will allow you to explain in full detail, & add tags to your post so people can actually find you! facebook could work similarly, but it's better if you have a lot of connections/friends. If it's an issue people care about, people will share your link (you can also ask politely for them to do so) & the signatures will come in. It's not particularly easy, but very possible to do!
