The book is a quick read but it is really full of helpful hints, examples and insight. It was obvious that the author, Patrice Williams Marks, really knows what she is talking about. I think crowd-funding is a brilliant idea and one anyone considering going into business for themselves or that has an idea but not the cash to get it started need to know about and this book is a must read. I know the first thing I asked myself was, "What is crowd-funding?". Crowd-funding is a new trend using various websites (Kickstarter being one of the most popular) and it works by helping people that have great ideas but don't have the money to fund them. These people can pitch their ideas to the public in hopes that they will donate money to help fund them. I had watched a TV show once in the past that was basically crowd-funding. People try to convince the "sharks" to invest in their business. Kickstarter is a website that basically does the same except you are not on TV.This helpful little book walks you step-by-step into the process of creating, launching and wrapping your project. In this book you will learn:How Curated Communities Can Give You Added ExposureHow to Get Featured in Kickstarter and Ingiegogo's Newsletters (solid gold)How to Grab Funders Attention the Moment They Land on Your pageHow to Generate Traffic to Your ProjectHow to Easily Find and Target Bloggers and Journalist Who Want to Publicize Your ProjectHow to Relaunch a Failed CampaignWebsites to Post Your Projects to For Added ExposureComprehensive List of Popular and Niche Crowd Funding Sitesand Much More!I thought this was a pretty brilliant book and really enjoyed reading it.
