Crowdfunding Sourcing Benefits

Crowdsourcing Leveraging with Perks and Donations

As crowdfunding becomes more popular websites are promoting fund raising campaigns but still charge fees without any guaranteed results.  People with little or no experience will rarely reach their funding campaign goals without help.

DIY Crowdfunding opportunities through bartering perks and rewards from members of StartUpClub.  The premise is that when people have a great product, video, widget or service but have difficulties providing perks or obtaining supporters the various members bring each of these solutions together. continue below...

I know first hand how frustrating and depressing it can be when working with investors, even when having a multi-million dollar product.  I recently cancelled a meeting which was to initiate a $2mm deal mainly because of the leadership and company control (essentially the invention) would be lost--that is, I told the investor that I rather do it myself if he could not agree with my timeline and counter-offer.  review the offer

Start Up Club is formed to optimize the funding process through bidding and bartering to assist members reach out more effectively for successful crowdfunding campaigns.

This platform was first created by me in 1999 with WebSiteBid.com and WebHostBid.com, which now incorporates WebAppBid.com.  The concept or premise further gives reason to the ever need of new internet businesses with the understanding internet positioning for years to come; long term consideration.

Though work took me in another direction 13 years ago, I have recently pulled this out of the closet because of my involvement with venture capital funding.  I do not purpose that this will help someone build an empire or successfully launch a huge business, but what I do believe is that when people have connections and motivation to test market a new invention or prototype business model financial cost can be shared with the members of StartUpClub.us.

To kick start the Platform WebSiteBid will use a donation process as the primary example, and reveal the results.  Then, as new members join the Club and have the need for offering perks and rewards to their supporters, WebHostBid, StarCredits or other members can effectively join the campaign where all benefit, bidding and offering other members from what individually is provided.  For example, Perks for free hosting (1-5 years for different levels of supporter donations) when another member provides a shout out to their social network because they do not have any perks to offer their supporters.

This is not a ownership or stock offering position for our members.

If you are looking for venture capital funding and investors, tell me what would you do if you had an offer like the one I just declined.  see below

Fund Raising, Crowdfunding, Crowdsourcing, Funding and Giving

Never give up!  Plan your fund raising campaign with help and search for every bit of information about crowdfunding available.  Giving to well written campaigns and causes allow people to pay it forward without asking for anything in return; descibe your funding needs well.

When considering using any crowdfunding website, please search the website negative feedback as well.  This will help you become better equiped to NOT over-sell or set your expectations for crowdfunding too high.

Many successful campaigns are examples of reaching successful funding through several attempts; not the first time around. 

The same goes for businesses!  Do you think that all businesses stay in business after the first year?  No way!  If you allow yourself to align with history, and not fight it, launching a successful crowdfunding campaign will take more than a one-time victory dance.

Start small, fund something a little less important to help you learn; gain experience and you will bring your dream to life.  Make a five-year plan, not an overnight success.

Be realistic, but don't give up and use crowdfunding sourcing as the means to build the foundation for what you really want to accomplish.
