www.igg.me/at/30isstill30 I figured IndieGoGo was a better bet because partial money is better than none, but now I'm hearing way less people get to see your project... I know some people who fail at kickstarter just relaunch on Indiegogo, I'm wondering if I should do the reverse? My campaign is just 2 days old (out of 30). Any advice- and please, if you go to the site, and advice about the pitch would be helpful too! THanks!
Can't stop a indiegogo campaign. How many people see your project has a lot more to do with your efforts than direct traffic. Get on Twitter and Facebook and maybe do an email blast. Lots of great help and advice from others out there. Be sure to send a few tweets to Hollywood Tweet to run throughout your campaign and hit dem #'s. Good luck!
Don't panic. You're only looking for $7000 and there's plenty of time to go. But. You have to be more creative with your project video and rewards. It's just my opinion but both are nonpluses.
I am using an Indiegogo, not because of the all or nothing, but because there are more payment options for backers. Kickstarter has its advantages too. It's stricter rules help you shape a better campaign. Both have their equivalent of featured projects. If you get to be one of these featured projects, more people see your stuff. I also recommend PleaseFund.us, as they give creative grants that help projects reach their goal. Dara Says has reached 28 percent of its goal on Indiegogo. Traffic seems to come from our project's Facebook page. http://igg.me/at/darasays
Anisa...Definitely give Mark Stolaroff's piece a read. Currently running in the blog. Think you'll find it quite helpful and informative.
Yes, I've been reading it! Unfortunately I didn't see it until I launched :) Luckily some of it I already did.
Shoulda been in Jacksonville, FL this week for OneSpark, "the world's crowdfunding festival"! Going on through Sunday. http://www.beonespark.com
One Spark is different. It's a huge festival all over downtown Jacksonville with bunches of seed money available. Regular people go there and walk around, casting their votes for the projects they think deserve a part of the pot. Creators have had exhibits describing their projects and put together profiles online about them. They can also get up on a big presentation stage and tell people seated there about their projects. As well as voting for them to receive a portion of the big pot of money, attendees can donate additional funds to them online, if they wish...but they have to actually go to the festival and check in on their smartphones in order to vote for any of the projects. Creators came in from all over the U.S. for this festival. Attendance has been around 100,000 people daily since it opened Wednesday. Closing ceremony is today at noon. This was the first one, and hopefully it'll become an annual event.
Albert I'm launching a new video on Monday, thanks for you feedback!
