More and more, we\u2019re seeing authors and artists come through our shop who have used a crowdfunding website to fund the <a href=\"https:\/\/gorhamprinting.com\/quoting\/\">cost of publishing their books<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a crowdfunding website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A crowdfunding website is a website that exists as a platform to help people who have an idea, but need dollars to make the idea a reality. In our line of work, that idea is a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listing your project on a crowdfunding website is also a great way to test the market\u2019s interest in your book before it\u2019s published. It will help you start thinking about the niche your book will fill. If you can successfully generate buzz for the concept of your book on a crowdfunding platform, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll be able to enjoy some traction with your marketing efforts once the book is published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most commonly-used crowdfunding website is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/?ref=nav\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kickstarter<\/a>. Here is a link to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/help\/handbook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handbook <\/a>to get you started, and a few tips to help along the way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Backing others helps you learn the ropes and get a feel for the Kickstarter community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up your payment options in advance so you are ready to accept funds on day one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be clear on discounts and perks &#8211; and get creative!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aim high when setting your dollar amount, but not so high you can\u2019t meet your goal and cash in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tell the story of your book, and consider making a video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Answer all backer questions. They are supporting your efforts!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a simple analytics tracker to learn more about your readers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time to get inspired!
