Description:

Award-winning entrepreneur and crowdfunding expert Jamey Stegmaier shares his inspiring lessons and practical guidance for building the business of your dreams by engaging with customers and investors online. This book features over forty illustrative examples of crowdfunding campaigns. Some succeeded wildly and some were sobering disasters. Stegmaier uses these stories to make points about topics such as preparation, timing, what kind of offers to make and what kind to avoid, what to spend money on and when, and more. Stegmaier shows that if you treat your backers as people, not pocketbooks - communicate regularly with them, ask their opinions, attend to their needs - they'll become advocates as well as funders, exponentially increasing your, and your projects', chances of succeeding.
