It’s Crowdfunding Unplugged!
Is there a Kickstarter in you? Should there be? Would you like to know savvy tips to be successful?
Find out and determine exactly how to create, use and succeed with any crowding funding activity.
Whether you need $1,000 or $100,000, crowdfunding is an option.
There’s money in the cyber clouds and Author U’s first regular Saturday pops with a topic that authors want to know about … where to get money to support, create, publish and market their books.
Crowdfunding: Raise Capital To Fund Your Creative Project
Crowdfunding is “the” method for creative thinkers to raise capital for their businesses and projects. It enables anyone the opportunity to raise money for anything, without going to a publisher, VC, or bank. In this workshop, Leigh Lepore, Founder of Crowdfunding Strategy & Information, will walk through what crowdfunding is, which type of crowdfunding (e.g., donations, rewards, debt, or equity) is ideal for which situations, and how to set up a successful campaign. We will discuss in detail the key steps for engaging an audience, presenting your project to the market (including creating the right video), and hitting your goal.
- Would you like money for your Book Project?
- Would you like to expand your book empire using OPM—other people’s money?
- Would you like to learn the how and why of how to do it?
- Would you like to learn about crowdfunding from someone who creates the strategy and copy for crowdfunding projects?
- Would you like to learn how to create your own crowdfunding project?
We’ve got the answers to all of the above and much more. See you Saturday morning for a late Brunch and Learn at Author U.
