Practical Crowdfunding How-To-Guide
What You Need To Know To Run An Effective Campaign
The Practical Crowdfunding How-To-Guide is a wisdom-packed book that was written for the entrepreneur considering raising money via a crowdfunding campaign. Crowdfunding is not a simple matter of just putting your campaign on one of the crowdfunding platforms and waiting for the money to roll in. It is much more personal, relies heavily on social media and making network connections before you launch your campaign. In fact, crowdfunding shares very little with other forms of raising money.
For most, crowdfunding success can run the gambit, but it does not have to be a game of chance. The author breaks down the process of crowdfunding into 12 distinct steps to locate and attract potential pledges and build momentum and buzz for the campaign. By following the 12 step process, the reader will have the best chance of success in reaching their funding goal.
The book Practical Crowdfunding How-To-Guide is a concise and easy to read guide, packed with solid advice and examples that will help the entrepreneur achieve the best possible crowdfunding success.
