It’s not all about “Show me the money!”

4. …especially
with
your

Crowdfunding needs “a little sex…”

5. …and

their
campaigns.
Great movies don’t market themselves…

6. …one
Tweet
from
@LeoDiCaprio
ain’t
enough.
Celebrities are not “silver bullets…”

7. …and

your
campaign
with
an
explosion.

8. …so
outline
it
before
you
launch.
Crowdfunding’s second act is hard…

9. …or
ten!
Everyone loves a good twist…

10. …a
sa=sfying
one.

11. …and

aGen=on.
Crowdfunding is a full-time job…
