Patrice Williams Marks penned her first book in third grade; The Day Snoopy Got Married. While it didn't make the NY Times Best Seller List, it was an instant classic with the Nacca Valley Elementary School staff. From that moment forward, Patrice knew she was a writer. With a zest for travel and a insatiable appetite for all things vintage and period, Patrice uses her investigative journalism background to create authentic characters to occupy the pages of her books. Patrice has a talent for shining a light on riveting, obscure true stories from times past and generating page turners.Please FOLLOW or visit website to sign up to be notified new releases! www.PatriceWilliamsMarks.com (Sign up here to be notified of full novel release)Twitter: @PWilliamsMarks @Unfinished_TheFacebook.com/Author.PatriceWilliamsMarks

Reviews for Hacking Kickstarter, Indiegogo

[staciewyatt · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I read Hacking Kickstarter, in exchange for review from Tomoson. The book was written by Patrice Williams Marks. The book discusses how to properly use and raise money for Crowdfunding websites, such as Indiegogo, Kickstarter, and Gofundme.Crowdfunding allows people to post their projects, which need additional funding online. People donate money to the project until the goal is reached. The investors may also receive perks based on money given. Some crowdfunding projects may include investing money to produce a demo tape, fund a trip to Timbuktu, or help publish a book.The project creator has to be willing to invest the time and patience into a crowdfunding project to ensure success.Now, on to the book:First, Marks discussed some things a successful project should incorporate:A video. Talk about the project. Discuss how the money will be used. and don't forget to thank the investors/funders. A website. Post regular updates about the project. Buy a domain or do a free domain. Incorporate videos and pictures. Perks and rewards. Offer something good. Contact Information. Name, email, phone numbers. Bio, picture of you. Testimonials. Get quotes from supporters. Use their full name. Consider costs and timeline of the project. Research similar projects to find acceptable goals.Don't start the project until everything is in place. Marks also discusses how a successful crowdfund should start 6 months before the launch. Gather supporters. Give them a preview of your project. Set up a mailing list and a pop-up service. Start a twitter account and create a Facebook fan page. You also need to create a media list, a press release, sample pitches, and infographics. Finally, Marks provides tips for re-launching failed projects and a list of crowdfunding websites. One negative was the font was a little hard to read. I increased the font size on Adobe, but the text remained the same. I definitely could have used a larger font.
