Demystifying crowdfunding websites

Convener: Elina Manni

Crowdfunding websites are good for:
Raising cash (set a realist goal, between £1000 - £5000)
Developing a loyal audience
Developing relationships for future projects

Some websites to consider:
WeFund
Crowdfunder
WeDidThis
KickStarter (USA)

Some suggestions for successful crowdfunding:
Direct traffic to your crowdfunding project via blogs, tweets, Facebook...
Come up with exciting rewards: free tickets to special showings, dinner with cast members...
Check out companies and artists who have carried out successful crowdfunding campaigns (London Bubble after losing its core funding, Lucy Foster's project at Soho Theatre ...
Put some cash aside for your own campaign to kickstart it ...

Thank you for all your help and kind suggestions!
