How to plan and implement a successful crowdfunding campaign for your business
Watch Promo Enroll in Course
Did you know that less than half of all crowdfunding campaigns fail? That means they do not reach their target money goal. And the small business owner must find a new way to raise funds to grow the business.
I've read over 200 scholarly journals and research consudcted on crowdfunding. Plus, I interviewed 6 small business owners personally s part of my doctoral thesis. I gained plenty of insight on how to design, plan, and implement a crowdfunding camapaign that will help you succeed.
The topics in this course include:
-Choosing the right platform for you (Kickstarter, Indiegogo, other)
-Choosing the right rewards and dollar amounts
-How to create a budget for your campaign
-Writing and creating the project description and biography
-Creating videos
-The Marketing Plan
-Business Operations
-Building lasting customers after the campaign finishes
Disclaimer: I do not guarantee results as you are designing your own campaign. I do hope that you learn about the ins and outs of crowdfunding, setting appropriate goals, and how to run a campaign to help ensure you reach your goal.
