Looking to jump-start your business idea with a little capital infusion? With online fundraising tools like Kickstarter or Indiegogo, it is easier than ever to raise the money you need. Tackling fundraising campaigns with a robust plan and good timing is a great way to ensure your success on these platforms.
This week, Lorraine and Jarred review a list of popular online fundraising tools you can use right away to build capital for your ideas, inventions, non-profit initiatives and products. They discuss the different payment structures and rules for tools like Kickstarter and Indiegogo as well as a few tips for reaching out to your donor base and keeping them interested.
Highlights:
- To be successful, walk into a Kickstarter campaign with your prize tiers ready, a video describing your product and plenty of information to answer frequently asked questions.
- Asking for donations on a second project will rarely generate the same results, you have to appeal to a different audience. Try partnering with other campaigns and cross-promoting.
- Kickstarter requires you to meet your funding goal to receive your money; Indiegogo does not. Weigh which option best appeals to your project before launching.

I’m really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser
compatibility problems? A small number of my blog visitors
have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer
but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any suggestions
to help fix this issue?
We use a Wordpres theme that is compatible will all current versions. The problem is some of the older versions of Explorer don’t always display properly
