Crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, GoFundMe, Patreon, and IndieGoGo are incredibly successful in raising funds for countless personal and creative business projects. However, you can’t just throw your idea online and watch the money roll in.
How to Raise $30,000 for Your Indie Game on Kickstarter
Running a successful Kickstarter campaign takes a tremendous amount of planning and balancing to generate interest and publicity for your project. You’re asking for money from backers based on an idea and the good faith that you’ll execute it, so put as much time and effort into your Kickstarter pitch as you can spare.
Unless you're someone with a legendary track record like Tim Schafer and can raise $3 million from your own estate alone, the Kickstarter community wants to see more than just an idea before they offer you their support.
Ideas are plentiful, but execution is the hardest part. If you want your project to be successfully funded, the consumer needs to know that you can deliver on your promises.
