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. In other words, just because you publish a status update, doesn’t mean people see it. Furthermore, if the gods of digital decide to fold a platform, that’s your hard-earned followers gone in a blink.

Before you start planning your crowdfunding campaign you need to know a few important things, like...

· What’s my funding target?

· How many people do I need to give?

· How many people do I need to ask to give?

· How often should I ask them?

· How long should my campaign be?

· When should I run my campaign?

Luckily, we can help you answer these questions. 

A crowdfunding campaign needs a ton of content. For the 30 or so days of funding, you’ll be coaxing, cajoling and flirting with your crowd, asking for money, and you’ve got to come up with a fresh way to ask every day. You’ve got to keep it interesting, enticing and exciting.
