Campaigns reaching their goal have an average lifespan of 52 days; most of which raise a 1/3 of their goal in less than two weeks. Here’s 3 ways how you can start your campaign off with a bang, and 3 reasons why you should do it.

There are many independent artists out there trying to fund the recording of their new single or album; the making of their new music video; or even the purchasing of their new tour van. Some of them are getting fully funded, and others aren’t. Why?

We’ve taken 3 successful music projects from different platforms and look at why they’ve been successful. They may not be the most successful in terms of how much they’ve exceeded their goal, or how much money they’ve raised, but it’s how they’ve gone about creating a successful project which matters.
 

Over the last few years we have all been witness to something extraordinary. We have watched the world order turn on its head. The economic superpowers have swapped roles. Our governments are struggling to finance their own public debt and now public spending cuts are reaching to the deepest parts of our society. In spite of all of this gloom, I am supremely optimistic.

We have the internet.

Time to tighten that belt up a notch, the festive season is almost over and it's time to look ahead to 2012; new beginnings, new projects, new successes. But let's not forget the year we've had already....

Everyone wants their project to be successfully funded, which is why many people try and increase their chances and upload their project to numerous platforms (spread their bets ‘n’ all)- good idea huh? Well guess again. You’d think it would be a great idea: The more platforms that your project is uploaded to the better. Well…you’d be wrong, and here’s why…

We have had an incredible start to our crowdfunding life. Every month we are getting more and more projects coming online trying to crowd fund their way to glory. Thankfully, we seem to be getting nearly 40% of these projects funded. Every project is unique and offers a wonderful insight into the amazing creativity out there at the moment. We have had projects ranging from sports technology web streaming all the way through to a Milan fashion show project.

Over the last couple of months we have had some great projects go for funding on our platform. We look at a couple of the success stories and look to the future successes. Congratulations to Realtennis.tv on their crowdfunding campaign, raising £8,105 in 60 days. Kudos to Enya Patricia, reaching her funding target with a whole month to go. Good luck to Alakazam, 66% funded with 22 days to go!
