Crowdfunding is an excellent tool for companies and startups that need funds to grow their business but do not want to (and/or cannot) resort to traditional funding methods, which are notoriously slow, complex, and inaccessible.
To start a successful crowdfunding campaign, however, one cannot resort to improvisation, but must develop a detailed strategy.
Doing crowdfunding the right way - and making sure you reach your fundraising goals - means leaving nothing to chance, but planning every step in detail.
In this section you will find useful tips and tricks for growing your crowdfunding campaign and making sure you exceed your minimum target.
