There’s a lot of hype around the world of crowdfunding, but did you know that six out of every ten crowdfunding campaigns fail to meet their goal?

Give yourself plenty of time to plan your campaign, create great content to promote it, and coordinate your launch date. The lead-up to your campaign is just as important when it comes to spreading the word as your campaign itself is.

You can then use the campaign page as a blueprint for your video, which you can use to really bring your business idea to life. It’s also worthwhile to invest some money of your own in your campaign. Make sure it appears professional and polished just as you would for a small business website!
