Social media is a handy marketing tool, but you don’t own your social media community. The visibility of your posts is at the mercy of social media algorithms.

Furthermore, if the gods of digital decide to fold a platform, that’s your hard-earned followers gone in a blink.

Crowdfunding is the art of rallying your community to fund your project.

A stretch goal is an extension of your target, where you specify the extra funds required to get your art to the next level.
