In an interview conducted at SES 2013 in San Francisco, Erick Mott from Creatorbase discusses how to get started with crowd funding.
Erick describes Creatorbase as a “community for creators, ideas, and solutions.” For anyone wanting to use crowd funding for a product, service, or idea, Erick describes the whole process in the video below:
Here are some key takeaways from the video:
- Crowd funding is a huge growth opportunity for any entrepreneur and any size business.
- Crowd funding is great for consumers because it gives them the ability to decide what goes to market.
- Put out a campaign that tells a story and then reach out to influencers online through social media.
- Campaigns have to be multi-channel and have to evoke emotion.
- Erick believes Indiegogo has the better business model out of all the crowd funding platforms due to how open it is.
