Crowdfunding: Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and Ecommerce with CrowdCrux | Crowdfunding Demystified

If you haven’t made your first campaign yet, then know this: It’s the best time to start one!

Equity crowdfunding is on a boom right now, and hundreds of businesses get six-figure funding—if not seven. And no, you don’t need a fancy college degree to succeed!

Instead, all you need is the right formula and excellent storytelling skills. And that’s what today’s guests discuss.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Robert and BW, the co-founders of the software company Knowledge as a Service, Inc (aka KaaS). Their objective is to build performance-based habits, with a focus on corporate environments, in order to improve employee training and set up both employees and companies for success.

And here’s the thing. Both of these guys are college dropouts, and they still were able to raise $306,197 with their WeFunder campaign! In this episode, they’ll reveal:

  • The journey from finding the motivation to a six-figure WeFunder campaign
  • Why storytelling is crucial for a successful campaign
  • And so much more!

So if you’ve got an idea that could change the world, but all you need is a bit of funding, then now’s the time to launch your first WeFunder campaign. And with the knowledge gained from this episode, you’ll have an even bigger chance of success.

So grab your pen and paper, and enjoy your listen!

Here’s the thing.

It doesn’t matter how much you prepare for your first Kickstarter campaign; there’s still a high chance of failure.

However, what you do after the failure is crucial. Unfortunately, most people give up and tell themselves that the project isn’t for them.

That’s precisely what you don’t want to do. Instead, aim to follow today’s guest’s lead!

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Jon, who reached a whopping $217K for his tabletop game CoLab. In this game, you aim to build things like monsters and potions in a shared laboratory space to become the most renowned scientist amongst a group of other mad scientists.

It’s hard to imagine that his first campaign wasn’t successful with how well this one did, but that’s why we must learn from him! Instead of giving up on the idea outright, he analyzed what went wrong and tried the campaign again.

During your listen, you’ll hear Jon talk about:

  • The secret trick to coming up with killer product ideas
  • The #1 thing to do before launching a Kickstarter campaign
  • What to do after an unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign

So if you’re looking to start your very first Kickstarter campaign, then go for it.

If you fail the first time, that’s okay! All you need to do is pick yourself up, learn from your mistakes, and try again. That is the only way to succeed.

So grab your pen and paper, and enjoy your listen!

Today, I want to do something different. Instead of talking to another six-figure success, I want to turn my attention to you.

I want you to know that this year is the best to start taking action!

There’s never been a better time to get funding for your product idea. You no longer need to save money for years to have a shot at creating something incredible.

While you might argue that Kickstarter is more saturated than ever, don’t let that be your excuse for not taking action.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, I want to tell you two things:

  • Why 2022 is the best time for action
  • The first steps to take to build a successful crowdfunding campaign

After listening to this, I want you to be inspired—so inspired that you’ll stop making excuses and take the first step!

You never know when something will change your life if you haven’t tried it. And who knows, maybe you’ll be the next crowdfunding success!

So take out your pen and paper, and enjoy the listen.

I have said it before, and I’ll say it again!

Crowdfunding is a powerful and fantastic way to get funded. You can get funding in a matter of minutes for any project, no matter how ambitious it is.

If you know how to spread your campaign, you can do anything.

That’s exactly what today’s guest did.

In this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Anna, whose team at Sirocco Energy was able to raise over $860,000 from more than 500 investors on WeFunder for a revolutionary wind turbine. The turbine uses a patented design that is both eco-friendly and quiet enough to be placed in urban areas.

How awesome is that?

During the episode, you’ll hear Anna talk about:

  • The story behind creating the product and the benefits it offers
  • Why the team switched from angel investors to equity crowdfunding
  • The secret to getting investors on WeFunder and building a community

So if you have a crazy idea that could change the world, all that is left to do is listen to this success story and start taking action. You’ll never know if your idea is worth pursuing if you don’t try.

So grab your pen and notebook, and enjoy your listen.
