GET YOUR CROWDFUNDING SUPERPOWERS ON - How to Create A Brilliant Crowdfunding Campaign That Gets Fully Funded. This is the first, best, and only course that takes you by the hand and walks you through everything you need to know - and do - to create a brilliant crowdfunding campaign and a brilliant campaign marketing plan too! (Did you know that crowdfunding campaigns with a day-to-day marketing plan get 180% more funding?)
Crowdfunding courses, even good ones, typically give you ideas and general information or advice for creating a campaign. Books and blogs do the same. This course is different. It sets a whole new standard.
When you finish this course, if you do the coursework, you will be 100% ready to launch your crowdfunding campaign on whatever crowdfunding platform you decide. This means you'll be ready to launch your campaign and execute the campaign marketing plan you customize as a part of this course. On top of that, your entire soft-launch will already be in full swing, building an interested audience of targeted funders!
This amazing course is “linear” and it takes you step-by-step, at your pace, through every part of creating and executing a truly brilliant crowdfunding campaign. You don’t just learn what to do…you learn how to do it AND you DO IT as you go through the course!
As you can see by the curriculum below, this is seriously comprehensive and covers every phase and activity included in creating and executing a crowdfunding campaign. This curriculum is based on the highly successful Brilliant Marketing Methodology, a step-by-step program that has helped thousands of successful companies across the globe learn how to best market their products and services...and it's been customized to help you market your idea to crowdfunders.
There are over 30 videos and hands-on exercises, examples, and fantastic supporting materials…all relevant and focused to help you understand and develop those things that will make your campaign a stand-out, funded one!
Your instructor for this course is Kimberlee Hayward, the original author and developer of the Brilliant Marketing Methodology. She presents the information you really need to know and does so in a way that keeps you engaged, excited, and motivated to get your campaign created, launched, and funded! The video lessons are short and sweet (well, most of them anyway); they tell you what you need to do and then send you off with hands-on exercises for creating your campaign. You'll learn the tools you need to use to find funders and those to get your campaign ready and rolling; there's also a host of templates you can use to connect with influencers and other potential funders along the way.
Kimberlee has worked in marketing and training for over 20 years, authored numerous published articles and Amazon e-books (some using a ghost name). She has trained thousands of small businesses to market successfully. She has also taught many businesses, organizations, and students how to create their own websites.
She has a B.S. in Natural Health, magna cum laude. She is certified by the Direct Marketing Association and has consulted with many Fortune 100 and 500 companies as well as with thousands of start-ups and "mom and pop" shops. Her "one true thing" is guiding others to achieve their dreams; that certainly explains her dedication to helping you get your crowdfunding campaign funded! :D

Welcome!
As a successful marketing professional for over 20 years and author of Brilliant Marketing!, in 2012 I began working with the founder of a niche market crowdfunding platform. As we worked together, I became fascinated with crowdfunding; specifically with finding the answer to the question "why do some projects get funded while others fail?" I wanted to know not only for my own bad self, but so that I could teach others.
I researched and analyzed hundreds of projects. And then hundreds more. I dug deep to learn the truth behind the hype and to learn where marketing and crowdfunding intersected. I literally ate, drank, and slept "crowdfunding" and only knew I'd gone too far when I started dreaming my kids were being named as "perks!" (True story.)
The hard work paid off. I discovered that some very specific things make some crowdfunding projects wildly (or mildly) successful while others fail. I ran small projects and larger projects; I learned what worked and what did not work. And what I do now, is teach: I teach everything I learned from research and experiences to help people like you, create and run successful crowdfunding campaigns.
Credentials
With over 25 years in IT and marketing, I have worked for Fortune 100 and 500 clients, public and private organizations, and start-ups nationally and internationally.
I was the Small Business expert on KTLK radio's weekly Business Beat show, won numerous public speaking awards and the Rocky Mountain Printer's Association Honorable Mention award for marketing collateral designed for the Sportsclub Car of America Association (SCCA). I sat on the board of several Chamber organizations, and was a founding member of the Parker Rotary Club in Colorado.
In 2011 I made a life-time dream come true and moved to Alaska; site unseen and no job. Just four suitcases, four carry-ons, and one amazing 11 year old son, Desi.
Best. Decision. Ever.
I was fortunate enough to become the first Marketing Director for PIP Printing & Marketing and worked there until launching my own business once again: BrilliantWebsiteCreationWorkshops.com.
I currently teach workshops on marketing and crowdfunding for the Anchorage Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Anchorage Chamber, and other organizations. I also teach the middle-school and high-school students business and crowdfunding class at Excellent Children Kung fu Academy (a "group homeschool" in Anchorage), and I sit on the board for Anchorage's Promise.
I have a B.S. degree in Natural Health (magna cum laude) with a second degree 75% complete (Computer Science with a Psychology minor). I am certified by the Direct Marketing Association and am currently working becoming certified by the Social Media Institute.
