Crowdfunding: 3 Ways To Get Paid In Advance To Startup Your Business
Greetings! I'm as excited as a dog at the circus today because of this whole "Crowdfunding" phenomenon...
Chances are you've heard of crowdfunding's big sister crowdsourcing, with famous examples like Wikipedia being the most obvious, but crowdfunding is a new twist on the concept that's literally changing the business landscape before our very eyes...
Imagine, if you will, a world where businesses don't fail.
I know, I know it's ridiculous.... or is it?
What if your business was funded before you launched it... What if startup costs weren't an investment or a risky loan, but a crowdfunding initiative paid for by the very people who *want* to become your best customers...
Is this some weird hippie utopia?
Hardly, it's just the world of crowdfunding, and it's taking hold online like some kind of wonderful virus...
Here's three sites you can use to get crowdfunding for your business, without ever taking out a loan or spending a penny of your hard earned cash:"
#1: Kickstarter.com - Kickstarter is a crowdfunding engine where you can create a "project" that describes your idea, and outlines what you'll do for your donors when they pledge money to help you get your capital.
I've seen everything from kids books to fusion reactors and beyond get crowdfunding in the range of $100 to upwards of $200,000. If you've got a business idea (or just a project you want to work on and get paid to do it) then Kickstarter.com is a site you'll want to investigate for sure.
#2: Indiegogo.com - Indiegogo is a crowdfunding engine and site aimed mostly at the film and music industries, so if your business idea involves a movie or an album, then Indiegogo is a community worth joining and contributing to.
#3: Quirky.com - Why start a business when you can just get paid for ideas? At Quirky.com, you can get your inventions crowdfunded, produced, sold, and you'll even get royalty checks in the mail! Of course, you need to have an idea for an invention first, and you'll need to gather support to get it crowdfunded, but if that sounds like too big a project you should probably reconsider this whole business thing to begin with.
Is crowdfunding right for every business? Certainly not - but if the success of these three sites is any indication, it's an option for small businesses that never really existed before, and it's not going anywhere for a long, long time.
If you're interested in getting crowdfunding for your business or idea, head to the site below. WARNING: don't just dive head first into crowdfunding, there are a host of ways you can watch your crowdfunding attempt wither on the vine if you don't know the in's and out's first.
