I put this module towards the top because I want you to get an overall picture of exactly what needs to happen in order to be successful with crowdfunding.
Perform a quick feasibility study by researching successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns to gauge potential funding, backers, and average pledge, then tailor pricing and features for your project.
Search Google like a pro for competitors, influencers, and potential customers with advanced Boolean search.
Identify and reach Twitter influencers for your crowdfunding campaign using social bro dot com, employing topic-based discovery, scoring, lists, and targeted outreach strategies.
Learn to build a targeted media list for a crowdfunding campaign by researching competitors, collecting media pieces and contact details, then pitching Kickstarter blog outlets and writers.
When you are building out your messaging, you want to speak plainly and at a 5th - 8th grade reading level. One of the biggest mistakes I see when people are crowdfunding is that they talk in techno babble and use too many acronyms. Explain your product or service as if you were talking to your 90 year old grandmother.
Create a regular email campaign for your list, track opens with a pixel, use a simple one-column template, and schedule or send now; the next video covers automation.
Explore affordable video editing tools for crowdfunding videos, including Mac screen flow, Windows alternatives, and learning resources on Linda.com; compare iMovie, Final Cut, and more for screencast editing.
Find affordable soundtrack options for crowdfunding videos by exploring stock libraries such as palm five dot com and audio jungle dot net, plus royalty free music and YouTube audio library.
Create a media pitch with a core formula describing who you are, what you created, and the problem you solve for an audience; frame features as benefits and craft headlines.
Learn to use a Gmail mail merge to send a mass email directly from your account, including first name, email, subject, and formatted body with line breaks.
Join Backerclub, an exclusive backer community for Kickstarter and Indiegogo, to submit your project and attract new pledges, with a $379 listing that guarantees at least $379 in new pledges.
Collaborate with complementary Kickstarter campaigns to drive traffic and backer growth through free cross-promotion, updates, and templates that link back to your campaign.
This course covers the foundation and advanced hacks to pull off a six figure crowdfunding raise.
All crowdfunding lessons are taught via screen share and video. I literally show you all the tools I've used, include templates and scripts, and reveal a goldmine of crowdfunding secrets.
You can rip through the crowdfunding course in a day if you watch it end to end but I suggest doing it over the course of 3 days to give the crowdfunding material time to digest.
This crowdfunding course can be broken down to 3 main objectives.
1. Research and Prelaunch
2. Building phase of pulling together content and creating digital assets
3. Launch- game time baby!
You should take this crowdfunding course if you don't want to waste weeks of your life trying to figure out what works. I've used this process on dozens of crowdfunding campaigns and others have used this same process (coached by me) to crowdfund their own ideas and products.
I'm committed to your success!
