First, thank you for this information. I found it very organized, as if you were following a bullet point outline. The content was so full and I had only thought of about 50% of this, especially about the sites and all the things they may or may not have available. Again, thank you for this.
Good work Steve, I saved your video to our playlist for 'crowdfunding instruction and motivation' videos To answer the question: 17:30 all funds are either returned or not charged in the first place. I invite you to consider doing videos for PICISI as a Promotions Contractor.
Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful! Didn't even think of the approval of the project nor the customization of the plateform! Writing an activitiy book for kids
Hi there, great vid Never wondered what happened if goal was not met. Which platforms do u recommended that will not whithhold the money if goal not reached? Kisses, Jes
I have a Christmas CD coming out on the 23.11.18. Is it too late to get a crowdfunding campaign together? Do I have to have the campaign finished before the CD hits the market? Your video is top! thanks!
wow, 5 months later I have watched your video again. Your advice is invaluable. Thank you so much, Now at a later stage, made the video, and soon ready to launch in time for Christmas. Can you post a link to the video you mention about timelines? Thanks! Rosie
Hi Rosie, I am not sure I ever created a video specifically about running a campaign/timeline. You can try searching my website for more info. I do have a course at, nonprofitally.com/courses/nonprofit-crowdfunding-course/
Can it still be successful even if you start your "company" right at the same time with your campaign, meaning that your social media is empty until then?
Most volunteers help without expectation of receiving anything. Though you host a dinner party/celebration. Give them mugs or simple thankyou gifts. But like I said, most don't expect anything in return. A sincere thank you and gesture of appreciation are usually good.
Which platform would you recommend for my church in South Africa ?The church was broken into almost a year ago and many of the artifacts were badly damaged including wooden doors and stained glass windows. We need to raise funds for the installation of a new perimeter fence around the church. Currently we have engaged a private security company to patrol the premises but this is becoming too expensive.
I have only used two platforms. Fundly and GoFundme. For a long campaign with regular emails, updates and social tracking I would use Fundly. You can import a mailing list as well as automate a thank you email for every donation. GoFundMe is easier to use but not as robust. Crowdrise is suppose to be good. And they focus primarily on nonprofits. Might be worth a investigating. Hope that helps.
great, thanks for the advice, your video is the best one I could find on youtube about crowdfunding - so thanks very much. I was looking at you caring and it seems they charge the donors - so not free at all. Hard to find all the qualities I want - paypal, keep whatever you raise, no rewards, etc - it's a difficult one - how about a video on each platform and what they are good for?? Thanks again!
There government aid like food stamp if you need food you can apply for it. If you have phone and internet to write down on UA-cam I think you don't reach the level of going homeless.
@@ugaas3074 well lets start with internet is free in my area, and fones cost like 20 quid, so your point is what, phones are years old, rent costs 95 per week, so think before you comment, 40 million free wifi hotspots in this country. and every british library gives 30 minutes free computer access, so again think before writing comments, plus phones can be borrowed or computers. no idea what country you are in, but no food stamps in uk, their is a scheme for expectect and mothers, but nothing for single guys, and if you bother to read profiles, you will see i am founder two food banks, so before writing comments, have a clue what your talking about.
@@rduggan2011 Sorry for my comment if you feel it was offensive. I'm from US and here we have food stamp it depends on your income the average aid is $200 for every person so if the family members are 6 children for example will be $1200 a month's as food aid also there is cash aid and rent etc. I did not notice that you are from another country, but I repeat that I apologize for the rush to comment without understanding.
@@ugaas3074 right , so that makes it even worse, every library in us has rows and rows of free computers, and their is no food stamps in us, i lived their 10 years, and families i know used local churchs food pantries. and 24 weeks unemployment. did not offend me, only yourself. and i have enough food for 2 years my problem is paying the £95 per week rent, after losing my job by email yesterday and 95 per week rent in uk is cheap.
The audience that I am after is rebuilding the waterways around where I live to control animal east run off,chemical run off and rebuild habitat for quail.
Eveyone is trying this now for easy money sad thing is now ppl are not gonna donate as you don’t know what’s fake and what’s not so ppl that really do need help will no longer get help. Sad thing what ppl turned into to get cash

Hi there, great vid
Never wondered what happened if goal was not met.
Which platforms do u recommended that will not whithhold the money if goal not reached?
Kisses, Jes
Most allow you to keep any funds raised. Kickstarter is the one to watch out for. Fundly and Crowdrise are nice to use.
Thanks for the overview of how to set this up properly. Not a surprise that you have to do serious planning to be successful. Good job.
Very Informative. Thank you for the video.
I have a Christmas CD coming out on the 23.11.18. Is it too late to get a crowdfunding campaign together? Do I have to have the campaign finished before the CD hits the market? Your video is top! thanks!

This is very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Great info
Can it still be successful even if you start your "company" right at the same time with your campaign, meaning that your social media is empty until then?
Is producing a CD - non-profit? Or are you talking about only raising money for people or projects in need?
Great, thanks. Very clear.
What do you offer volunteers/friends/family for helping you?
Most volunteers help without expectation of receiving anything. Though you host a dinner party/celebration. Give them mugs or simple thankyou gifts. But like I said, most don't expect anything in return. A sincere thank you and gesture of appreciation are usually good.
Very helpful thank you.
