Events can raise awareness of your campaign, raise money, reward your core crowd and create opportunities for media coverage.But they can be time-consuming to organise, so if you can piggyback on existing events where you can make an ask, or have a supporter ask for you, even better.

A crowdfunding campaign needs a ton of content. For the 30 or so days of funding, you’ll be coaxing, cajoling and flirting with your crowd, asking for money, and you’ve got to come up with a fresh way to ask every day. You’ve got to keep it interesting, enticing and exciting.

A stretch goal is an extension of your target, where you specify the extra funds required to get your art to the next level.

There’s a lot to know about crowdfunding, so we’ve compiled a Boosted FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) to give you some peace of mind.
