Getting set up on Boosted

Our sure-fire steps to crowdfunding success.

Mapping your crowd

Crowdfunding is not about you. It’s about the community around what you do. Your crowd.
And there’s a difference between your audience and your crowd. Your crowd are the people personally, financially, and emotionally invested in you successfully completing your art project. They’re with you for the journey. They’re with you for your career.

Nailing your pitch

Your campaign pitch (or your campaign description) is arguably one of the most vital parts of your Boosted campaign.
It’s your proposal, it’s your message and it’s your chance to drive home the essence and importance of your work.

Planning your content

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.
