Adventures in Writing and Entrepreneurship
After successfully completing a crowdfund last year to publish Solomon's Secrets, when I was asked to join the organising committee for Bristol Festival of Literature this year and we talked about how we would finance such a monumental project to host a fantastic city wide event; crowdfunding was my first thought.
But crowdfunding is not just about money - there are plenty of other reasons to consider it to boost your business.
Here are 5 non-monetary things I love about Crowdfunding:
- Building Community. You can mobilse the support of your fan base and give them a hook to share with their networks
- Social Proof. It’s a very public way of showing that people support what you are trying to achieve
- Marketing Platform. It’s a great excuse to embark on a sustained marketing campaign to raise awareness.
- Newsworthy. A crowdfund is a newsworthy activity and makes better editorial copy than an advertisement
- Telling Your Story. People don’t just buy people, they buy stories. A crowdfund campaign can provide a great platform to share your story and engage people
