This interview was incredible. No joke. In life, there comes a point in time where you have to put EVERYTHING on the line to achieve your dream.

After the first week of this campaign, pledges slowed to a trickle, and it looked like the story was taking a turn for the worse.

Then... something amazing happened.

This team is defying the odds!

Straight out of college, they raised $82,207 with their first Kickstarter campaign, despite having ZERO social media followers.

Then, they went on to raise $314,54 with their second Kickstarter campaign, even though they only had a 2 week pre-launch period.

Believe it or not, but they hit their goal in the first 2 hours!

Jchon Perkins is a fan of CrowdCrux and the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast. He submitted a question asking how I and other consultants can help his upcoming crowdfunding campaign.

"Hi! My name is Jchon and I had an idea that I'm working on. I listened to an interview that you did with Rose Spinelli, which was a great interview and I'm trying to hire her, but one thing I noticed is that she doesn't manage campaigns. That is one of the things that I'm looking for, so I was going to see if you did anything like this and if I can send you over the idea."

Today’s question was submitted by Erika Hanna, a member of the growing CrowdCrux community!

“Hi Sal. I’m a little concerned about my Kickstarter. I launched it yesterday at 1pm and so far we are at $600 and my goal is set to $20,000.

I was wondering if you think it has anything to do with the market. Do you think that Kickstarter is a good platform to launch a fashion conscious brand?”

Today's question was asked by HamiltonPerkins.com:

"We have a mailing list of 700 people that we've accumulated prior to launch. Our question is now that we're live, what is your advice for maximizing the pledges with the list and our own network." 

“Hi Salvador. This is Hannah with Sublicious Farms. We’re a mushroom farm in Florida and we’re preparing our Kickstarter campaign right now. We’re trying to set up a distribution center so that we can set up local mushroom farms all over the country.

We’re trying to figure out when’s the best time to launch, how much we need to have prepared, the posts that we’ll need on social media, and what you have to do right then and there after you launch.”

Hope you enjoy my answer and don’t forget to leave your feedback on iTunes!

Recently, Kyle Koster reached out to me about a proven strategy that he developed to launch several successful Kickstarter campaigns.

His email read, "I've enjoyed following CrowdCrux and some of the articles you've posted over the past few years. I started a guitar accessory company called Hogjim: Music Imports on Kickstarter a while back and we were in contact...

I have a bunch of experience from my guitar accessory company and living in Hong Kong for a few years as well as now handcrafting products in the USA!"

Long story short, I invited him on the podcast to talk about his approach to raising money on Kickstarter. Remember, he didn't just do this once. He did it FOUR times with different campaigns in different industries.

Anddd it's another "Ask Sal" podcast episode!! Since I don't really do consulting, this section of the podcast gives me an opportunity to directly answer reader and listener questions.

Tony Lialin asked:

"Hi Sal. I have a software product. I'll be on Kickstarter in 20 days and I'm curious if there are any tactics in particular for software that worked better on a Kickstarter vs a tangible product. I'm curious what your advice might be."

This is an Ask Sal podcast episode, where you submit your questions and I answer them!

Today’s question is about IP (intellectual property). How much time should you spend worrying about IP? How should you market your product when you don’t yet have a patent?

I cover this and more in today’s reply.

Let me preface this by saying that I’m not a lawyer and this reply is just my opinion. I recommend consulting a lawyer if you want accurate answers to questions about IP.

Yesss! It's another "Ask Sal" episode, where you submit your questions and I answer them! Todays question was asked by Lisa from TurtleMoonPress.com:

"I have a Kickstarter question. I recently published a coloring book and I then donated 50 copies to a hospital where one of my students is currently staying. I'd like to replicate this with other hospitals or charity organizations. Can I use Kickstarter for this?"

I'm about to reveal whether or not you can use Kickstarter to raise money and donate books or other products. I'll also talk a bit about nonprofit crowdfunding and how it differs from rewards-based crowdfunding.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How long it took the team to prototype and test the product
• What they did to get funded in 4 days and 4 hours
• Why cross-promotion with like-minded campaigns is powerful
• The importance of launching a blog
• How the team earned media attention

If you have 0 social media followers and don't want to promote your Kickstarter campaign, you're in the right place.

I know I talk a lot about building up your crowd before crowdfunding, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Today, I talked with BJ Minson, who has raised over $400k on Kickstarter with three different campaigns.

He breaks down exactly what he did to get funding from regular Kickstarter backers and smash his goal. Not only that, but he shares how he did this ethically, with strong company values that promote American manufacturing.

Guess what!? This is an "Ask Sal" podcast episode where listeners submit their questions, and I answer them! The question today is a little bit different, because it focuses on personal crowdfunding. Katie Schwabline asked:

"How can I help finance my son's medical expenses with crowdfunding?"

I have to admit that this is a bit of a depressing and heart-wrenching episode. Katie is going through a very difficult time. I'm going to try to help her by providing actionable advice and setting realistic expectations for an online medical fundraising campaign.

This is an Ask Sal episode of the podcast, where you submit your questions and I answer them! Thomas Setteducato asked:

“How do I use real estate crowdfunding for my property?”

I’m about to talk about how you can use RE crowdfunding to finance a commercial or residential property. This is a very new sector of the industry and I’m excited about the possibility for investors to earn passive income from cash-producing properties.

I’ll also be linking to a website that I set up that’s specific to real estate crowdfunding. I’ve filtered out some of my best podcast episodes, along with my new ebook, which is getting some great reviews!

This is an “Ask Sal” episode where listeners submit their questions and I answer them! Navid asked:

“How can we spend our time and money to ensure that we get eyeballs on this campaign and that it gets before viewers and gets pledges on Kickstarter?”

In my answer, I’ll talk about a few ways that you can promote your Kickstarter campaign, get more exposure on the website itself, and some tools and resources that you can use.

In this episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, I spoke with Brian Dally, the CEO and Co-Founder of GROUNDFLOOR, a real estate crowdfunding platform that is open to non-accredited investors.

The website has funded more than $8 million of real estate loans across 98 projects and has repaid investors more than $2 million of principal and interest!

This is an Ask Sal podcast, where you submit your questions and I answer them! Andrew Cross asked:

“This is the second time I’m launching a campaign. What are the best ways to get external traffic to your Kickstarter page?”

While some crowdfunding campaigns will receive 90% of their backers and pledges from the Kickstarter ecosystem, the majority of campaigns tend to see a 50/50 or 60/40 breakdown. There are even some projects that drive 90-100% of their own traffic!
