Crowdfunding isn't easy. Close to 60% of all reward based projects don't even get funded, whilst it's rare a crowdfunding campaign will reach 6 figures or more.
Lack of pre-launch preparation: Crowdfunding platforms alone cannot help you reach your goal, as collecting and nuturing leads before you launch is ideal. You need to find groups of users who share your passion and vision, and want to support your work.
Poor functioning campaign pages: Pages that don't focus on solving problems or promote the benefits to potential backers. No matter how much traffic is pushed towards a campaign, if the page isn't setup correctly it will not convert as well.
Relying on paid ads: Facebook ads have long been used to promote a project, but cost per leads have risen. Owners should consider spending time focusing on finding organic leads, getting featured on relevant sites and connecting with influencers.
Product creators require an ethical, up-to-date Kickstarter and Indiegogo marketing strategy.
The $1 reservation funnel is redundant - Asking potential backers to make a pre-payment before a campaign went live, was a great way to determine 'Day 1' backers.
In reality, it's shady. Anyone can follow a page, and effectively become a VIP without paying. Reservation pages aren't needed now Kickstarter supports Meta Pixels, and crowdfunding platforms are self-hosting prelaunch pages.
Newsletters aren't targeted - Many 'newsletter only' services gather attention by providing quick boosts for live campaigns.
We all love spam, right? Some newsletter services gather emails from being associated with creator's accounts, they then collect these emails and message everyone. Be wary of mass-cancellations once a campaign ends too!
Since 2017, Hyperstarter has been a toolset for growing your crowdfunding project. Our platform is designed for campaign owners to research, analyze and store their crowdfunding data in one place.
We provide data and metrics, as well as offer advice on what you should be doing to market a project better, how to fix a campaign page and show what worked for the biggest crowdfunding projects. As an agency, our dedicated marketing and crowdfunding team are experts in the industry.
