Learn about Crowdfunding—GoFundMe, Kickstarter, etc.—campaigns and how you can fund your creative venture! Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet. According to Vantage Market Research, “the total Global Crowdfunding Market is estimated to reach USD 43.48 Billion by the year 2028.” The right strategy and promotion can help creatives – writers and publishers alike – get their projects 100 % funded and maybe more!

Are you ready to fund your next project?
Find out how to develop and execute your strategy for a fun and exciting crowdfunding campaign.

Key takeaways for attendees:

  • The critical role of social media in reaching your fundraising goals and, also, 1-to-1 asks
  • How to leverage your crowdfunding campaign for marketing purposes, measure the interest of your audience, and pre-sell your next book
  • Give yourself permission to be creative and put yourself out there to achieve your fundraising goals

Plus, you can submit questions in advance that she will address during the presentation, then open it up for additional questions.
