9. I believe you're confusing that with something else

In having set up my own a few months ago, it's not all that easy to figure out as people would think. The $500 doesn't need to come from facebook friends - I didn't even have a facebook page at all when I got donations. I believe that the $500 amount is what has to be donated to your gofundme page before your page will be listed as possible for the general public to search for. once your page is set up, you only need the direct link to your page to give to people in order for them to donate.

And it really isn't so easy to figure out exactly what that direct link IS. What I did was use the option that lets you change the link to something that says what your campaign is about so it makes it easier for anyone that might be searching for a particular campaign to donate to once you are donated that $500 or whatever the amount is before your page is listed as one that will be available to the public at large. Off the to of my head, I can't remember how that was done, but I'll find mine again and poke around to help you figure out how to get your direct link and change it to reflect what the donations are for. It may take me a few minutes since I don't have the bookmark to mine anymore as I lost all my bookmarks just a few days ago.

Hang on, we'll get it figured out.

On edit: ok, It ended up being easier to just go through my old emails and find the one that said the page was up and running. That email tells you what the direct link to your page is to give to people so they can donate. The link they give is clickable to go directly to your page that people will see when you give them that link. Bookmark it so it will be easy to find again.
