1/5/2016Richard outlines the importance of finding your niche and cultivating an audience before launching a Kickstarter campaign. Then he shows how to create the campaign itself, setting up a profile, establishing pledge levels, and crafting the most important elements of the crowdfunding campaign: your video, graphics, project description, title, and rewards.
You'll learn how to launch and monitor a campaign, use the Project Creator interface, interact with backers via messages and comments, and more. Finally, you'll discover how to analyze the performance of your campaign with the analytics dashboard, and generate a backer survey to stay connected with your crowd.
This course includes knowledge checks to help you self-check your understanding, a free prelaunch checklist to keep you on track, and examples from current Kickstarter campaigns that can help you reach your funding dreams.
