good information, what about these sites that say they can get you in front of 250k and they charge 150 to 375 dollars to get you in front of the right people Fiverr
Comment from : Wanjiru Moyo

Does anyone have a lead for services paid to prepare a Kickstarter campaign on your behalf? Even if it’d cost you a thousand dollars or so?

Hi, Darious! I've been following your channel a while now, and somehow just now realizing you're a veteran? you said "ex-military buddies"? Semper Fi! I hope to work with you some day in the future, as I am interested in producer route I'm currently a film student at ASU, so slowly but surely learning it all!

I don't really get it If you need your own people to fund you, what Kickstarter is there for?
Comment from : Babloo

Comment from : Danaé Latrice

do you have a video of what using credit does for funding projects short and long term?
Comment from : Venom Shots On Ice

Sir, any rules to raising funds before securing actors or vice versa? Is it foolish to do both fundraising while casting as well?
Comment from : Robert Davis

Need crowd funding for a right channel
Comment from : David Gray

In the past I have had to raise money for other stuff Like anything in life money is not very different than film you need to start somewhere Sometimes you start with what you have who you got Who is in your team? How much money can come out on your own? Can you make or do something as you campaign to raise money to try to motivate people to give? You have to be creative and go one step at a time people like to support those who are willing to lead the crowd and step out of the box even when it is not popular to start with People who give money like to see what you are doing on your own and what you have done even if it is small, it is better than looking cool on camera! I am going to take this advice for myself haha
Comment from : chinojarjos

I think there is a lot to be said about the mindset you have going into a crowdfunding campaign Resilience, the willingness and ability to adapt, and an unwavering belief in the success of he project are super important Half way through our campaign we had only raised about 6,000 out of 45,000 We decided to create a new video with some major changes and redoubled our campaigning efforts reaching out to schools to do presentations and radio shows that might get us some publicity Its possible to come back!
Comment from : The Edit

Wait a sec, ex-military buddies?
Comment from : Charlie Dawson

i make shortfilms andi don´t want to be funded i can fund my films myself what i would like is that those who are interested in short films click on my thumbnail and judge the films i already made, self funded if there is enough interest i will continue to make films self funded and free to watch and by he way , i made a film especially for haters try picking "raul´s redemtion" to pieces see you there
Comment from : volker allert imagineering

You have do press releases, and run ads Native ads work fine If you want to have a successful campaign you need to have atleast a few thoudand dollars for ad spend and pr I know it seems counter productive to spend money since you're trying to raise it But crowd funding is a business and if you treat otherwise your results will be dismal
Comment from : Mikhail Hunter

Why the heck are you sharing a video about successful campaigns of yours failed???
Comment from : Black Honor Movement

This is the hard true of the matter Thanks for the info
Comment from : Joe Bennett

3 years ago but still highly relevant! I have a movie script that I am working on, that involves some virtual reality software, being used by characters in the film, so I appreciate your position of aspiring filmmaker With your education and battle scars, you're big enough to have clout, but small enough to contact, unlike Spielberg or something, ha ha! I've taken your tips to heart, as well as many other similar tips I've found online, and want to say that I admire your ambition You followed your passion, and did not pick an easy field in which to compete and promote! I am going to subscribe to you, and may contact you in the future, if you'd like to work with me

Awesome video buddy!! If anyone here is serious about Crowdfunding, this might interest you I enrolled in « Incredible Dream Machine program by Greg Jacobs and Tim Godfrey » You can google it, br It’s one of the most complete educational program available about Crowdfunding and how the guys show how they raised 100K in 24h and explain everything in a clear step by step This program cost me $2900 to get in and it was worth every penny Now I’m willing to sell my copy to anyone serious about Crowdfunding at a very tiny fraction of the price If interested please reach me at 1000appreviews @ gmail com (remove the space) or via skype support1000appreviews

I'm really sorry, dude you have a really helpful channel and I'm sure something will work out maybe you should get an acting or editing job on a film, that way you could get leads which lead to better funding or projects

+D4Darious I'm back to provide an update about PICISI brbrAs you know PICISI is a new crowdfunding site that aims to do things differently than most crowdfunding sites, our site GUARANTEES:br1) you get to keep the amount you raise (no 'all or nothing'campaigns), br2) you will get some home page face time, br3) you will get some sponsorship, br4) you will get some FREE publicity, br5) you will get some FREE consultation on your campaign,br and br6) you will get some fundingbrbrbrThe harder we see someone working for themselves the harder we work for them
Comment from : wwwPICISIcom

Thanks for all your videos Many of them are fantastic That being said (and the following is just my opinion)brbrThere are multiple problems with that kickstarter campaign The biggest one and I can't stress this enough, is the thumbnail you get before pressing play You put a lot of effort into getting the word out and your page was thorough but that thumbnail stands in as your movie poster and easily the single most important element on a kickstarter site Also, the video was too long The magic length is 60-90 seconds The beginning is not strong enough to hook me in and you're overusing fade to blacks IMO When I first played it I wasn't sure if the beginning of the video was part of the movie trailer Also, it's always a necessity to look extremely excited/passionate about your project because if you don't, it will be contagious to the potential backers You sort of look like you just woke up, to be honest when you give the pitch in the second half, no offense I think it can also help you to name the rewards inside the description It can't hurt to remind people in case they don't read the right columnbrbrThat being said Love your videos Can't wait for a new movie breakdown Sorry if I come off as offensive but these points I mentioned is something I have been obsessed about when making promo videos brbrGreat job with the movie Look forward to seeing it

Comment from : Vernon Fowler

What were some of the incentives to your kickstarter campaign? I successfully failed at two kickstarter campaigns myself and its definitely more to it that what most people imagine crowd funding is like The best way to look at it is that it is a tool or platform to be used to raise funds from an already organically grown audience Things just don't catch fire randomly online like it used Have you considering running another campaign based on the audience you have seemed to create from your YouTube channel alone? How long ago did you run the campaign?

Comment from : Trae Dukes

I really liked this video It was honest and useful I have run or helped run about 10 different Kickstarter campaigns and your advice is spot on: Build your audience of interest before you launch! To help local creators in my area (NW Pennsylvania), I started something I call Quickstarter which is designed to help creators new to crowdfunding avoid the kinds of mistakes that kill good ideas and projects early Anyway, thanks for this video!
Comment from : Kris Wheaton

Hey, Darious!brCan you please somehow text me? I swear its not about stupid questions that you have already answered in all your videos I just need a real help And you look like someone who can understand I'm waiting for your message man

Great video When I got married my wife and I shut down all of social media because we thought it would just cause problems with trust Considering facebook is where we hooked up So now that my wife has moved everything from our home and has taken off with our 22 month old baby I need social media to share my story to try and find my baby Sucks my advise don't get married
Comment from : Tim Edwards

hey dude i found this today wwwseedandsparkcom/studio they are talking about 84 crowdfounding success rate,maybe you already know that but i just wanted to share cuz 84 is huge i thinkMay be you can make a video about it for people who interested in crowdfoundin and another great video btw
Comment from : Ahmet Emanet

Great to see such personal tips - one I have always been curious about when it comes to crowdfunding, though, would be exactly how to tackle the perks, especially if you don't exactly have a lot of money to begin with - so while a video based around the math of it all may sound a little dry, a video on figuring out perks and the cost of perks along with the rest for Crowdfunding would be really cool, if ever you find the time

Comment from : Diego Lozano

Someday when it's time for a full feature I need to make a crowdfunding project but the problem is, I have to depend on people from other countries because my friends do not care at all! I also invited them to like my film company page and from about 300+ people (friends) only 45 bothered to at least check out the page I want to continue making films and someday I want to make that full feature but I need a lot of money to make it better And I won't get any support from my friends Thanks for sharing your results

Very informative, thanks for the video I know the urgency from deadlines could be useful, but personally I prefer crowdfunding websites that allow ongoing campaigns like Rallyorg That way you can build your social presence while gaining financial support simultaneously

Comment from : Mace Blackmon

Definitely know how you feel I've got a project up at the moment to raise $5,000 and we haven't raised a dime in two weeks You're right about having to generate your own interest; I've noticed with both of the projects I've done that Kickstarter does nothing at all to promote project visibility, even things as basic as making sure that projects with 3 days left show up in search results before projects that have 30, or that projects that haven't met their goals show up before projects that have I've become pretty disillusioned with Kickstarter as a platform, I must say It's true that there are so just many things going that even worthy projects can't get any attention, but a bigger problem seems to be that when people go on the site intending to spend some money they're naturally drawn toward gadgets and things with prototypes that they can see and get excited about rather than broader, more abstract projects like books and movies A lot of the site has basically turned into pre-order shopping Tell me this, what do you think about people with big names and huge fanbases like Joss Whedon and Spike Lee coming in with their new projects? I mean, I like those guys and their work as much as the next guy, more probably, but the major appeal, as a creator, in the early days was that you could put a project up as an unknown and you'd get attention (and maybe, of course, money) based on the project's merits There's just so much competition of so many kinds within Kickstarter that it seems to have defeated the original purpose of overcoming competition from outside itbrbrBah Anyway, I like your channel a lot It's good to see someone working hard on what they do, it's clear that you really know your shit, and it's righteous that you're puttin' out all this free advice Best of luck with your film and everything, hope I get to see it some day soon

Thank you for the video! I am a highschool student who wants to help other kids who don't have a school in Africa by providing a proper education This video truly helped me a lot This is my campaign wwwfundraisecom/teach-the-future-foundation/building-school-in-africa and please try to donate or at least spread the word Thanks!

Crowdfunding TIP! wwwFundDreamercom only charges 1 regardless of when you cash out, even if you don’t raise all of your funds This is significantly lower than Kicksarter, Indiegogo, Gofundme, and Fundly brbrFund Dreamer also focuses on Women and Diversity Groups

I think until one builds up said media presence Indiegogo is the way to go I tend to hate to promote myself as such my social media presence is small except maybe with my music and there I didn't promote myself at all When I start fundraising I'll pay someone who has a decent network to promote me and my projectbrThanks again for the great info
