Most Crowdfunding Campaigns Fail!
What they say
After helping hundreds of project creators - the one common factor that keeps coming up - is they wished they had put more effort into planning and crowd building BEFORE launching their campaign.
Most important success factor
Setting yourself up correctly and following a tried and tested launch strategy is the SINGULAR most important success factor to running a successful crowdfunding campaign.
You need a crowd to go crowdfunding
Learn how to build, grow and engage a crowd long before you launch your campaign. The size and responsiveness of your crowd determines how much you can set as a target for your campaign.
Is Crowdfunding just for startups?
Anyone can go crowdfunding! You can be a startup, existing business, charity or a social enterprise i.e. anybody with an idea...and a crowd.
