Four Noble Truths of Crowdfunding & Eight Paths to Crowdfunding Success

Four Noble Truths of Crowdfunding & Eight Paths to Crowdfunding Success

Back in my university days, I studied a great deal of Eastern philosophy and even taught general, but weighty lessons in Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism in my “past life” as a humanities professor. This taught me just about everything I know about life, the universe and everything. Interestingly enough, it also taught me all I know about crowdfunding.
Whereas my book Crowdfunding for Filmmakers illustrates the keys to successful crowdfunding from a Taoist perspective, here I present crowdfunding from a Buddhist point of view. So to help us attain crowdfunding Nirvana, here are the Four Noble Truths of Crowdfunding, which are much more empowering than the Truths unveiled by the Sangha at Deer Park during the days of the Buddha.

1. Crowdfunding is a full-time job.
Aside from your actual full-time job, crowdfunding requires time and attention, so you need to be sure you can put in the time it will take to successfully crowdfund what matters to you.

2. It starts with you.
The misconception that many people have is this: Once they set up a campaign, money will start coming in. Crowdfunding starts with you and your inner circle (friends, family, and loved ones). Only when you’ve gotten all of your closest supporters funding your campaign will you be able to successfully tap into your outer network (email list, social media, and press).

3. It is not only about the funding.
A colleague of mine at Indiegogo has a great saying: “If you’re crowdfunding for the money, you’re doing it wrong.” There’s so much more to be gained from crowdfunding, like market validation and, of course, making a deeper connection with your audience.
4. Follow the Eight Ways of Crowdfunding to achieve success. In Buddhism, it is said that “the best of paths is the Eightfold,” which is represented by the symbol of a wheel with eight spokes and consists of things like Right Understanding and Right Purpose all the way to Right Concentration. Similarly, crowdfunding has its own eight ways that pave the way to crowdfunding success, which I present as follows:
  • Right Goal: Choose the right target. For a little help in this department, give my blog post “Goals vs. Commitment in Crowdfunding an Indie Film” a read. (Just take out “Indie Film” and it all works the same.)
  • Right Team: Build a team of people who have certain skills that you can make good use of during your campaign, like a social media strategist and a campaign manager, in the event you as campaign owner already have a full-time job.
  • Right Time: Pick the right time to launch your campaign, and set the right duration for which to run your campaign. Campaigns usually start off strong, lull by the middle, and end strong. The question to ask yourself is how much time do you have to keep your audience interested in your campaign. And that leads to the importance of the…
  • Right Strategy: You want to take time to strategize your campaign so that the “Lull” that you’ll ultimately encounter midway through your campaign doesn’t lull the campaign to a halt. Always plan ahead in crowdfunding.
  • Right Prep: Planning ahead means preparing for your campaign ahead of time, and one way to do that is to build a social media following much earlier that two weeks before (or even the day of) your launch.
  • Right Pitch, Perks, and Promotion: Those of you who’ve read my book know that I harp a lot on what I call the “Three Ps of Crowdfunding,” which you can read here to gain a better understanding and tons of examples on how to craft a compelling pitch video, unique perks, and promote properly across your social media channels.
  • Right Etiquette: Yes, there is such a thing as etiquette in crowdfunding, which includes basics like saying thank-you to your contributors and not spamming people on Twitter and Facebook. For a further look into the world of crowdfunding etiquette, give a read on my “Practical Guide to Crowdfunder Etiquette.”
  • Right Fulfillment: The end of a successful crowdfunding campaign signals the beginning of its most important stage: Fulfillment. For if you take too long to mail off your perks, how will you ever be able to start another crowdfunding campaign if you haven’t built up the reputation for delivering on your promises? Plus, it does wonders for your crowdfunding kharma, too. Checkout the helpful tips mentioned in Four Ways to Make Fulfillment Easy.
Keep these Four Noble Truths and Eight Ways of Crowdfunding Success in mind before starting your next campaign, and you’ll be on your way to a successful experience along with many more to come. For additional tips, you can also download Indiegogo’s Field Guide to Crowdfunding.

POWER OF THE MIND
Because the mind is a terrible thing to waist!
One must create, invent and keep looking for innovative ways to do things. This is how masterminds are born. Imagine yourself with extra time in your hands. The possibilities are endless. How would you spend your time? Do good and help others? Help yourself and develop your unique talents? We always reap what we sow. It is very important to keep the mind in good shape. To quote Napoleon Hill: "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."
 That is the power of the mind.
This is the message I want to give to everybody.
This is real Power everybody has access to.
Help me spread the word to people to look within themselves, all answer are there.
10% of my profits of this campaign will go to The Community Food Bank http://communityfoodbank.com/. Another 10% of my profits of this campaign will go to Charity Water http://www.charitywater.org/.

What's up everybody! Beautiful day and I just receive this book I've been waiting on some time.

JAB, JAB, JAB, RIGHT HOOK BY GARY VAYNERCHUK

 I  wanted to write about this because I think most people get it wrong. I have not read the book but just from the title (and youtube interviews) the philosophy is to give, give, give and then ask them for something. Now I've been doing this wrong since I always ask and ask and not really given anything.
 So as of today, I will try to give you some information about how to better your life by giving you some financial education. I will try to get out of the I Me Mine ...I Me Mine .... I Me Mine (beatles song).



 I am not an expert but I will try to share my experiences on getting out of debt.

Sharpee and Cup Project - Money Works for Me

https://www.etsy.com/listing/172800583/money-works-for-me-cup


2014 GOALS

The mission of this blog is to get out of debt (currently $12K).
Start different projects to create income.
Get rid of all bad debt (credit cards and debt that does not generate an income).
It is okay to get good debt, that is debt that I do not have to pay
or in other words: debt that other people pay for me (maybe my first investment property
a small family house or condominium).
The main key here is to use O.P.M. (other people's money).
Using the banks money to buy Assets (things that put money into your pocket).
Also create products that generate a cashflow: ebooks, small businesses (service oriented:
the bad thing is it takes too much time our most valuable asset), products (t-shirts, cups ... etc.)

I will keep you updated on how am I doing.
Best of luck to everybody!
Make a plan to be Debt Free!
