My first Instagram marathon experience: difficulties

When I decided to sponsor the marathon on Instagram, the only thing left was to pay the sponsor’s fee.

It would seem that everything is simple, but no, it was not easy for the citizens of Ukraine. Most marathons are conducted by organizers from Russia, gathering participants from the CIS countries, but, unfortunately, few people care about citizens of different countries organizing such a marathon.

For payment, the organizer’s cards were issued by the banks of Russia. Today, citizens of Ukraine cannot transfer money to a citizen of Russia. So it was trouble how to do this.

Having tested all our payment systems such as LiqPay, Privat24, etc., I realized that nothing will work. And then I remembered the international payment system PayPal, but the organizer did not have an account there.

Only sending money through systems such as Western Union was real, but it didn’t suit me because of the huge commission and the need for the organizer to receive money in cash.

As a result, the organizer suggested making a payment using the Robokassa website, sending me a special link for payment. It all finally worked out right away.

But the biggest difficulty for me was the condition to give my photo for welcome post. It turned out that I do not have suitable photos 🙂 Yes, I really do not like to make personal photos; as a result, I almost have no photos. This is clearly a hint that it’s time to correct the situation 🙂

Writing a welcome post was not very difficult, but it took a little inspiration.

As a result, having paid a fee, sending a photo and a welcome post about myself, I became a participant – sponsor of the marathon.

Each participant became a member of the group that the organizer created in the What’s app. There you could discuss organizational issues, and see reminders of actions for participants.

Next, each participant had to fill out a common table in Google documents, where to indicate:
– post release time with the announcement of the marathon
– time of the story with the announcement
– what prize is offered for the draw among the subscribers of the marathon

Having done all this, I began to wait for the start of the marathon, and therefore the arrival of new subscribers.
