Being good at one thing allows you to charge more.
Here's what I mean
People tell you to get better at the things you are weak at. I say get
better at the things you are good at and hire for the things you are weak at. Can't write? hire a writer! I have an excellent ghost writer available for you.
But you are really good at some things and you should get paid really well for it! Crowdfunding can allow you to market for that.
How do you get started with crowdfunding?
First let's figure out what you want
to do?
Do you want to get paid monthly?
Do you want to raise a lump sum?
Do you want investors?
Do you want to presell your products or services?
Then make sure your business or you have at least a business plan
set up for it. Many times people say they want investors and they are not
set up for it. Here's a hint, if you
want investors and you are an LLC, you've already made a mistake in setting up your business.
This is why you need a consultant to help you along the way in making the correct decisions.
Next, pick a platform or website to use or decide to use your own website. If you use your own, you have to set it up yourself. Which means you have to know how to do it. If you choose a website,
you need to read through several sites, know what they charge and how they work. You to make an informed decision, not just pick a site because you heard of it. There are over 2,500 sites to choose from, so if you only looked at 2, you have not done a good job on due diligence.
Next, start writing your story of your why. People want to know why you are doing this and it can't be just about the money. That's boring and it won't move
people.
Next create a great video. Use the crowdfunding video formula not the commercial video formula. It will move people to action. By action, I mean, giving you money.
Next, you have to launch and promote. Every single day. Ask for the money and tell NEW people. Then follow up on old people and ask for the money.
If you have a budget, advertise. If you don't
then get on the phone, email, talk at your church, clubs and the park and anywhere someone will give you a platform. You have to work.
You have to work daily to reach your goal. You need a team
and a plan.
