Crowd funding has become an increasingly commonplace way to get financing for creative projects and business ideas.</p> <p>The concept is simple: Explain what you’re planning to accomplish in a compelling way and offer small incentives to reward people who support your plan. Get a lot of people to give small amounts, enough to fund your project.</p> <p>This workshop will cover time-tested nonprofit fundraising principals and show you how to apply these principles to your individual crowd funding campaign. You’ll leave with a easy-to-follow framework for planning and implementing a successful crowd funding campaign.</p> <p>We’ll look at critical elements such as:</p> <ul> <li><p>Setting an appropriate fundraising goal</p></li> <li><p>Identifying the potential backers you already know</p></li> <li><p>Giving levels and backer rewards</p></li> <li><p>Promoting your campaign</p></li> <li><p>Writing an effective appeal</p></li> </ul> <p>We’ll also take a look at some case studies of successful crowd funding campaigns and discuss what made them successful.</p> <p>UPDATE: This is now a FREE FREE FREE event.
