Kickstarter Campaigns - Why crowdfunding doesn't work most of the time. Episode 7 of War Stories from the Music Front with Michael Brandvold and Loren Weisman.

Episode 7 of War Stories focuses on kickstarter campaigns and many of the mistakes that are made with crowdfunding. When it comes to asking for money, you need to think about exactly what it is going to cost to do what you want. A music business plan even on the most basic level can help you not only achieve the funding you need but help you to avoid underfunding as well. Too many see it as just free money, a viewpoint that will only hurt any kickstarter campaigns you could be involved with. Take the steps to make a plan, stand out rom the others, offer up the incentives for people to give and consider exactly what you are going to need in order to make your project work and you will create much better chances at having your kickstarter campaigns get both funded and completed in tne best way possible.
