Are you interested in getting moneys to support your and your book project? Moneys that are a “gift” and don’t have to pay back? It’s called OPM … other people’s money and crowdfunding becomes your window to make it happen.
Oh, you need to tell the taxing folks that you got moneys … but let’s face it, when you create a book, money is spent. Sometimes, lots. Whatever you take in, you will most likely spend–so taxes aren’t an issue–you will have offsetting expenses.
Here are 3 quick tips for crowdfunding success:
1. You need a plan. You need a platform. You need commitment. Yes, dear author, you do.
2. Understand that there are critical Timelines involved–some months out. Make sure you get the FREE Timelines available on the Home page of The Book Shepherd website here. Just add your email to receive.
3. Get my book this week, The Crowdfunding Guide for Authors & Writers. It’s only $15 on Amazon. It will save you hours of time, includes all the critical elements you need to get started. Don’t miss the Cheat Sheet in the back!
In crowdfunding, you want to be in the minority. Less than 30 percent of authors succeed in getting their books funded. Think of The Crowdfunding Guide for Authors & Writers as your new best friend.
