I get it!

It isn’t easy to launch your campaign without knowing if anyone is interested in your product.

But that shouldn’t stop you from trying. Many people have been able to build wildly successful Kickstarter campaigns with niche products.

Don’t believe me?

Wait until you hear about today’s guest.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman speak to David, who was able to raise a whopping $598,648 for his Kickstarter campaign, Beasts of the Mesozoic.

And you know what?

His product isn’t a trendy new tech gadget; it’s a line of scientifically-accurate dinosaur action figures. Quite a specific market, isn’t it?

During the episode, David will teach you many valuable lessons like:

  • What it takes to launch a Kickstarter mega-success
  • How to launch and market a niche crowdfunding campaign
  • How Kickstarter marketplace works

So, instead of asking if there’s an audience for your campaign, give it a shot. You’ll never know when your idea has potential if you’ve never tried it.

If you’re ready to take the leap, pull out your notebook, and enjoy the many valuable lessons in this episode.
