Prologue

NOTE: For the sake of brevity, I will mostly refer to crowdfunding projects as Kickstarter Projects; although the information contained in this book will work with ANY crowdfunding site such as Indiegogo, Rockethub, Mobcaster, GoFundMe, etc. 

---

Also, this book is most useful for those who have yet to launch their crowdfunding project. However, if you have, it is not too late to give yourself an added boost.

---

You also do not have to implement all of these suggestions to have fantastic results. Simply pick and choose the ones that work for you. However, make sure you implement everything listed under: WHAT EVERY CROWD FUNDING PROJECT SHOULD HAVE.

Dedicated to my sister Phyllis, whose presence I feel in my life every day, and my four-legged daughter Amore’ who is with me only in spirit, but emits healing light and love.

CASE STUDY

AMANDA PALMER

---

Heard of Amanda Palmer?  You should have, but if not, let me fill you in. Amanda was an unknown musician/artist who had been quietly working in obscurity creating music for her niche fan base of punk/burlesque lovers. She decided she wanted to release a full-fledged studio album and tour the country, but she was an indie artist without the big bucks or record label behind her to do so. However, this didn‘t stop her.  She decided to raise a few dollars though Kickstarter.

---

Her goal was $100,000 for a new record, art book and tour. She put a campaign together that included a highly-imaginative video showing a series of cue cards. She set the stage by using her own music as the background. The video not only showed her personality, but led us into her world. Even if you never heard of her before, you were intrigued.

---

So did she reach her goal?  Amanda raised a whopping $1,192,793. It still stands as the largest crowd-funded music project to date.

---

So you must be thinking that she must have had a marketing/pr background, had a lot of rich friends.
