Summary

If you're looking for a step-by-step launch framework for your upcoming Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign, this is the handbook for you! I'll teach you how to use crowdfunding to raise money online and bring your project to life. We're at the beginning of a movement as transformative as the industrial revolution. Never before in history have authors, musicians, artists, and film producers been able to connect with massive online audiences and get funding for their creative work. The outdated media gatekeepers are quickly disappearing. You can now get funding directly from your fans and distribute your content online. If you're a creative type, this is the best time to be alive. But, it doesn't stop there. This major change has also given rise to six and seven-figure online businesses. As a fellow entrepreneur, I know that one of the most common excuses for not quitting your job and launching that startup company is because you don't have the money. Now, in a few short weeks, you can have all of the capital you need to launch and grow a thriving ecommerce business. It's no longer a crazy idea to pursue your passion. In fact, more and more millennials are doing just that. I should know, I'm one of them! When I first started blogging about Kickstarter in 2012, I had no idea that crowdfunding would become a multi-billion-dollar industry. I was just a junior in college, writing a mini-thesis on how different variables affected fundraising success on Kickstarter (for you nerds out there, it was a logistic regression). Flash forward several years, and I'm now one of the top experts in the crowdfunding industry. I started the blog, CrowdCrux, which did over one million views in 2015. I set up a forum called KickstarterForum, which has attracted over 6000 members. I even launched a popular podcast called Crowdfunding Demystified, which has racked up more than 100 positive reviews in iTunes.

A few good bits of information

It's worth a listen, It got some useful advice rolled in between a lot of lists and descriptions of applications and software etc which when listening to it felt a bit like 'padding'. I found the book a little American centric which might suit some people.

It covers the topic very well!

The book gives good ground on the subject! Short enough not be boring and overstretched, long enough not be short. Great practical suggestions. Recommend!

It has the information you can find everywhere

He keeps advertising his coaching service in the podcasts. I filled out the form and made the payment on his website. He emailed me with one line asking about rescheduling 30 MINUTES before the call. I said okay for making the call next day. Guess what. He didn’t show up on the call next day. No emails whatsoever. I filed a dispute on Paypal for the fee I paid. No response to this dispute neither. Total ignorance. Hopefully I got refund thanks to Paypal. Additionally, he never mentions his own crowdfunding projects. He either doesn’t launch his own products (then how come he claims to be an expert in this area and offers coaching?) or he is too ashamed of telling about his campaigns possibly due to low funding or no funding at all. His book has information that you can find everywhere (I read about 10 crowdfunding books). His podcasts are interview based which are a lot easier than solo podcasts. He doesn’t give information, he asks questions. The creators are the ones who are giving valuable information. Finally, his website feels like we are still in late 90s. I think he should pause publishing things and review his communication and technical skills

Excellent, educational, inspirational, practical!

What made the experience of listening to Kickstarter Launch Formula the most enjoyable?

Great audio and pleasant to listen to. Excellent advice that I am working into my Kickstarter campaign. I will recommend your book to my friends. Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge through this eBook. A+

What was one of the most memorable moments of Kickstarter Launch Formula?

The details on preparation to the kickstarter campaign and resources that are available for a successful kickstarter launch.

Have you listened to any of Salvador Briggman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I have not listened to his performance before but enjoyed his voice and diction a lot.

Any additional comments?

One suggestion, if I may, adding an accompanied PDF file with the list of resources that you pointed out in your book would help, so I don't have to go back through all my bookmarks I made while listening to your book.

He knows his stuff

things starting as a complete novice you're actually in for a shock If you don't listen to this because a kickstarter campaign or indigo is way more involved than you could ever imagine you could get yourself in a lot of trouble with tax implications even file for bankruptcy I would imagine if you're not fully savvy on how the money exchange works how the gifts work and he covers this very comprehensively All right I don't know what the status is right now but I know from listening that I'm a lot smarter and have a better idea of what I'm getting into before I even begin which is the idea of this audiobook and I think it's a must listen If you're serious about doing this

Great teacher & perfect timing

I’m new to launching my first company and I needed funds to get it off the ground. This book, alone with his YouTube videos gave me the realistic insight and confidence

Great foundational nuggets

This was a good overview as well as some in-depth information about some of the important factors of doing Kickstarter. Overall I feel much better equipped to go about the next phase of raising money from my bubble machine company.

I learned so much!

In a crowdfunding campaign, there is so much more than just creating a video and a project page. I am glad that I listened to this Audible. I feel that I increased my chances of success.

Great if your green

Great book if you are brand new to kickstarter and crowdfunding but I don't feel like it gave step by step instructions on how to execute a successful campaign.

Great informative book.

I am glad I listened to this audiobook just before launching my crowdfunding project.
I will listen to this again at least once more and even buy the Kindle version to take notes and stick on a board and redesign my crowdfunding project.
