I’m actually listening to your audiobook as well. Also very interesting and informative. Nicely done! It’s listening, doesn’t feel like information overload. Thank goodness! Thanks for sharing such great information!
hi thanks for the info but do the campaigns themselves have a chance of being picked up just from people browsing on the platforms? or does my network need to be solid? My network really is thin and weak.
I'd use the search features on both of the platforms at take a look at relevant water bottle campaigns to see which one has more success with that category!
Hey! Thank you for the very informative video. I am looking to start a planner business, so would you recommend Kickstarter or Indiegogo? I smashed that thumbs up btw 😎
Hello! Both could work. I'd take a look at the planner campaigns that have launched on KS and IGG though and see which one has had more successful launches.
This is amazing, thank you! Any insight on a local service based startup? I'm trying how to reconcile a crowdfunding campaign can be successful and funded by primarily local backers who would be able to receive the benefit. Thank you!
Good video Mark. I know you are very much tied to the two funding models mentioned in the vid, but if I reach out to your team do you ONLY advise on these two platforms? The project I am looking to fund does not immediately jump out from the drop down lists. IF my project did not naturally fit into one of the funding areas, would your team advise on the most beneficial crowdfunding platform for my product? or would I be pigeonholed into something because you have a kickback in place?
Good question. First off, we get no kickbacks from Kickstarter or Indiegogo. We use those two platforms because we've found them to perform the best for the type of products we help launch. So if your product wouldn't be a good fit for those platforms, I wouldn't feel confident that we'd be the best partner for you. - Mark
@@thegenxgardener1338 Haha all good. We have a few different options for programs. Fill out this form to chat with my team about them www.launchboom.com/expert/
A film needing low 5 digit funding (say $25K though more is better). I wonder what my best platform might be. Kickstarter's all-or-nothing thing is a bit off-putting. But I hear the flexible route Indiegogo offers does not convey to contributors the sense of urgency that brings funds in before the deadline. I kind of want to try Indiegogo for its flexibility and post-campaign funding .. but I don't want to be trapped in Smallville either. Do you have a suggestion for my above situation? Is Indiegogo still pretty decent for films?
In general, I think that creative projects are better on Kickstarter than Indiegogo (even though it was founded for indie films). With that said, if the all-or-nothing model of KS is a dealbreaker, I think that you can still find success on IGG. There are film projects still funding there, but the amount are much less than KS.
There are smart glasses that have been successful on both platforms, so I would look at the other things I talked about to help you make your decision.
You can… sort of. Indiegogo has a program called Indiegogo InDemand where you can keep pre-selling after your Kickstarter. But if you launch on Indiegogo first, you can’t launch on Kickstarter after.
