Interview With the Crowdfund Social Marketing Team |
Posted: April 6, 2016 |
Crowdfunding is a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. More and more people are using crowdfunding to launch their businesses. But sometime crowdfunding looks a lot easier than it really is. Not everyone knows how to get the word out, and that’s alright. Crowdfund Social is a crowdfunding service that has helped thousands of crowdfunders hit their goals on Kickstarter and Indiegogo over the last few years. We decided to do a phone interview with Matt, Ryan, and Andrew to ask them about their experiences getting projects funded and other tips for new crowdfunders. Below is a summary transcript of the interview:
How long have you been helping crowdfunders succeed?
Since 2013 we’ve been helping crowdfunders on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. That actually makes us the longest running social media marketing agency for crowdfunders in the world. Its been an amazing journey and we really have a great team ready to help.
How much have you raised in total over the years?
Our team has been fortunate enough to work with so many awesome projects over the years. I don’t know the exact dollar amount to date, but our last big milestone was surpassing 10 million dollars. That was actually big news in the crowdfunding space because nobody has ever done that much for crowdfunders until now. Most agencies are just around a million or two, and mostly a lot less in their total amount.
What advice do you have for first timecrowdfunders?
Make sure you don’t have any big gaps in your marketing strategy. You know that you need social media promotions to get funded, so don’t overlook that part. Many crowdfunders think they have social media promotions handled, but after talking to our team they realize that it needs a lot of work. If you’re just sharing things on Facebook and Twitter then I have good news for you: there’s a lot more funding that you can get if you have our team takeover. You don’t want to miss out on supporters just because you don’t know how to reach them. Crowdfund Social makes it so much easier for crowdfunders.
For readers that have never worked with Crowdfund Social, what makes it so special?
Well, first we have an amazing team here at Crowdfund Social. So when you sign up you automatically get some of the best, if not the very best, crowdfund marketing talent behind your project. Our creative team knows how to promote your project and make it go viral. We also use the latest social media strategies and techniques to make sure you get the most exposure possible. So you’re really getting a very top notch experience when you work with our team.
How many people are on your team?
Right now Crowdfund Social has 6 core team members and a view assistants that help with the daily tasks. Everyone on our team has a special purpose… and the core team members all bring their unique skills to the table. For example, Andrew is our lead crowdfunding specialist. He’s a walking encyclopedia on all things crowdfunding! And then we have Ryan who’s our Instagram expert and myself who handles all the paid advertisements. Together we form a great team that can get any crowdfunding project on the right track in no time.
What do you love most about crowdfunding?
My favorite part of crowdfunder is hearing about all the new ideas people have. Just when you think you’ve seen everything you’re surprised. People will come up with the most unique ideas for anything, even socks or bike accessories or books, you name it! There’s always something new and exciting for us to promote across social media. But the best part is when you make their dreams a reality and you help crowdfunders get the support they need. It doesn't get any better than that.
