Funding Your Projects

OK! So you have this great idea for a project, but have no idea how to secure funding to make it happen. Before you put it on the shelf of great ideas that were never realized, check out Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative pursuits of many kinds.

I have read just about everything on their site and I have concluded that this is a great opportunity for producers, at least to get feedback on your ideas. The worst thing that can happen is a project doesn't get funded and you are back where you started... except you at least received feedback on the demand for your product. With easy tools that allow you to share and promote your project through social media, you may just muster up enough support to make some money doing what you want.

  2. I follow MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art) on twitter and they posted a tweet a long time ago about the site and I flagged it as a favorite to read at a later time... which was just the other day. Anyway, I think it is a great idea and a great opportunity for people to make their ideas materialize. BTW... your site looks great. Much beter visual organization. Great job.
