crowdfunding site which focuses on collecting funds for projects of a creative nature. Kickstarter covers a wide range of areas which include, games, films, art, music, technology, and design. Kickstarter isn\u2019t simply about giving money to back projects, its more about helping to support an individual\u2019s dream about creating something that they want to see implemented within the world.<\/p><p>Kickstarter\u2019s model type is that of a donation\/reward. What this means is that those who support and donate to a project are able to take a sneak peek into the creative process as well as choose from a selection of unique rewards which the project creator has on offer. Of course, each project has different rewards, but more often than not, it usually includes sample of what is being created (e.g., a DVD, book, CD, etc), or even some form of experience which is completely unique to the project, for example having a meet and greet with the creator or even receiving producer credits.<\/p><p>Project creators are able to keep 100% work ownership, and because Kickstarter is that of a rewards model, it can\u2019t be used to solicit loans or offer financial returns or equity. The great thing is that being a reward model creatives or artists are able to keep complete project ownership.\u00a0<\/p><p>The thing is, with so many crowdfunding platforms available, it can be difficult to know who to choose.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Don\u2019t worry\u2026<\/strong><\/p><p>To help you make your mind, I have reviewed what exactly Kickstarter has to offer including what type of

The platform more or less takes you step by step through the process, while at the same time offering tips and advice along the journey. It&#8217;s clear to see what rules apply and which elements need to be included in a campaign such as images or videos in order for it to be successful.<\/p><p>Login is either through Facebook or by creating your own credentials.<\/p><p>Once signed up, fundraiser creators can either start a new project or explore existing ones. There are fifteen categories in total which include crafts, technology, comics, and journalism. The great thing is that before you leap in, a tour of the process can be taken \u2013 something I found really useful.\u00a0<\/p><p>Another feature that I loved was that before a project goes live, I was able to preview the campaign and share it with my friends which provided extremely valuable feedback.\u00a0<\/p><p>Once a category has been chosen, then the project will require a name, image, blurb, and sub-category (this is optional).\u00a0<\/p><p>Similar to Indiegogo, Kickstarter also has a challenges and risks area.

For the most success, Kickstarter suggest running campaigns for 30 or fewer days. Keep in mind that once the project has been launched, the duration can\u2019t be changed.\u00a0<\/p><p>Last but by no means least, a fundraising goal will need to be set. This must be inclusive of the amount required for project completion as well as the fulfillment and shipping of any associated rewards.\u00a0<\/p><p>It is compulsory for all projects to have associated rewards \u2013 plus it\u2019s a great way of attracting donors.<\/p><p>There is no set amount of rewards that can be offered. The quantities of each can be limited or even based on the pledged amount.\u00a0<\/p><p>An example of this could be offering badges for a $10 pledge or signed posters to the first 15 people who pledge $100. Kickstarter has a help community called \u2018Campus,&#8217; and this offers a shed load of inspiration on how to create rewards plus they also highlight the most popular ones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1de1e5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1de1e5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/KickStarter-sr-img-04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8955\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/KickStarter-sr-img-04.jpg 740w, https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/KickStarter-sr-img-04-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f5b307 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f5b307\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Now, like most things these days, there are limits that surround the rewards. They must not be alcohol, resales or travel services plus all of the rewards MUST be designed or produced by the creators. Remember, when filling out a reward description avoid using phrases that will raise a red flag, for example \u2018beer glass\u2019 because if you don&#8217;t before you know it, the alerts will come flying in.<\/p><h3><strong>Verification<\/strong><\/h3><p>The next step is the verification process. Your account can be verified either by text message, automated phone call or email, following this you must then verify your identity. This must be done by providing proof of your legal name, address, date of birth together with the last 4 digits of your social security number.<\/p><p>This is different from GoFundMe which actually asks for the entire number which could then leave you open to identity theft or fraud should there ever be a security breach.\u00a0<\/p><p>Next, select the fund destination \u2013 this can either be a legal entity or an individual plus provide bank account transfer details. The final stage is to add in a payment source, in the event that one of the backers disputes the credit card charge. Kickstarter does try to resolve any disputes on your behalf; however, if the case isn&#8217;t won, then the card will be charged.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a2d3f2 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-view-icon-text elementor-blockquote--button-skin-classic elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"1a2d3f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tKickstarter includes a myriad of online resources which can help to both create and promote a campaign and from what I\u2019ve seen so far, is a brilliant platform from which to raise funds and promote projects.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Kickstarter+includes+a+myriad+of+online+resources+which+can+help+to+both+create+and+promote+a+campaign+and+from+what+I%E2%80%99ve+seen+so+far%2C+is+a+brilliant+platform+from+which+to+raise+funds+and+promote+projects.&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fentrepreneursgateway.com%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F8947\" class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-button\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-label\">Tweet<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2e419c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a2e419c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Verdict \u2013 Kickstarter is easy to use, and the set-up process is outlined step by step which makes it the perfect platform for those who aren't overly \u2018techie.'<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ee3d5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ee3d5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Customer_Support\"><\/span>#2 Customer Support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d0946c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8d0946c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>One thing that I consider to be really important when testing and reviewing anything is what support is available and what shape and form it comes in.

The dashboard will display your progress and will provide a referral report which will outline where backers are actually being sourced from, e.g., promotions or social media.\u00a0<\/p><p>Kickstarter also enables project creators to see exactly how many viewers are watching their project videos. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, it also provides a backer report which displays individual pledges and allows requests of extra information in order to fulfill any rewards, plus the survey tool is great for collecting backer information such as mailing addresses.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Then there\u2019s the Campus\u2026<\/strong><\/p><p>When working on any new projects, it always encouraging to know that there is a solid team of supporters waiting in your corner.

If a project fails to meet its target, then any would-be donors are refunded, and no fees are due.<\/p><p>It is worth keeping in mind that if a project isn\u2019t successful the first time around it can always be re-launched.
