Traffic Tips to Kickstart your Crowdfunding Campaign    By  Chris Dyson You’ve had that next billion dollar idea and you’re going to raise your first $25k via Kickstarter, Indiegogo or another crowd funding site to make it a reality. Simply put, crowdfunding is the process of asking the general public for donations that provide startup capital for new ventures. Using the technique, entrepreneurs and small business owners can bypass venture capitalists and angel investors entirely and instead pitch ideas straight to everyday Internet users, who provide financial backing. Competition for crowdfunding dollars is already high, and destined to become even more competitive as time passes. Launching a project on a crowd funding site is far from a guaranteed success – less than half of the Kickstarter projects reach their funding goal, and around 12% don’t receive a single pledge, therefore no matter how great your product is you’re going to need to get web traffic t...

Part VI “What! Mrs. Wilson’s son has filed this case against her.” Andrew exclaimed. “Not only this, he and his wife thrown her out after getting the property.” I said. “So what are you planning to do?” Andrew asked. “Well, Mrs Wilson doesn’t want the property so I am just going to make him agree for compromise and pay for Mrs Wilson’s expenses.” I replied. “Just stay with me and do what I said.” I continued. The trial was at 10 AM. It was 8:45 AM by the time we reached Mrs Wilson’s house. Mrs Wilson’s son came out shouting as we knocked the door, “I told already that this time I won’t make a settlement and take back the charges, let her rot in jail,  why the hell you are disturbing me, get lost.” He said and was about to shut the door on our face. I gave a signal to Andrew and he caught the door and I slipped in and by the time Mrs Wilson’s son turned to stop me Andrew came in too. “So what did you say you would let her rot in jail?” I raised my voice and said. “Do you th...

Part V Well I was more bothered about the case assigned to me. After such a great victory how can I fight for such a low profile case. “Why can’t I defend the murder case? You praised my review as well.” I argued. “Well I think you would do better in this case. And we are here for helping needy not for gaining fame aren’t we?” said Attorney Shin, not even giving a look at me. It’s driving me crazy. I sulkily moved back to my desk. “Attorney Kathy, do you need some water.” Asked Andrew, in a joking manner. I gave him a frown look and turned back to my desk. Racheal was not in today. She took an off. Well anyways from next Wednesday she won’t be here. Nothing in the case to work upon. A 60 year old lady stole some clothes from the neighbourhood where she begs. She was accused for similar cases in last couple of years. It’s simply a case of addicted theft. If the plaintiff negotiates she would be free else this time she has to go to jail. Defendant Maria came in by 3:30 PM. While...

Part IV “Karry framed her father. It’s Karry who killed that man. Mr Kin feels that it was by accident. She was trying to defend herself and hit the man but it was all a show. She killed him and made her step father take the blame.” I said. “But we don’t have proof to prove this theory.” Said Steve. “It’s not theory, It’s the truth.” I said firmly looking at him. “And how do you know it?” Asked Racheal. “I would tell you once we find the proof to testify it in the court.” I said, standing up. “We are running out of time let’s hurry.” I said and was about to move out. “But she doesn’t have a motive to do so? Does she?” Racheal prompted. “She believes it’s her step father who made her mother die. She doesn’t know the person whom she hates so much was the reason that her mother’s life prolonged a bit.” I said without turning back to Racheal. “Let’s go Steve. I would need your help to prove him innocent.” I stepped out. “Go with her. I feel she really can prove what she is saying...

Part III In the next hearing on Friday, two days from now verdict would be given. How could a person ruin his last hope of survival? How could he ruin all efforts that Racheal has put in? Poor Racheal she still believes he is innocent. Frankly speaking if I think about the trial today I too feel the same. But I don’t understand why is he doing so? Does he knows who did it and is trying to save that person? Gosh, it’s driving me crazy. Really hard to figure out. We all were silent in the office and thinking about the same question, but had no clue what to do next. “Ahh!! It’s getting on my nerves. He has ruined all the efforts you have made.” I said impatiently. “There is nothing we can do now, it seems he is protecting someone”, Racheal commented. “I feel that too, but if he would reveal the exact story to us we might have helped him out.” Said Steve. “What are you planning to do now?” I asked Racheal. “Nothing left to do, he has made a confession infront of the judge. And I have...

Part II We both walked in. There were three more person in that small office. Andrew Salas, he was the clerical help there. Attorney Racheal who is supposed to be on leave from next week. She is expecting her first child. Hope the kid grows as her mum, she is one of the most elegant and brainy persons I have ever met. And Attorney Shin, he is the head of the department. I have heard a lot about him but it would be the first time I would meet him in person, but where is he? Doesn’t seem he is in. “I want to be like Attorney Shin, that’s why I wanted to become a Public Defender” said Steve. “The way he sympathises with the defendant and takes on is just marvellous, don’t you think so?’’ he continued. “You are also here because of him right??” he asked. “Not really.” I replied. Andrew showed us our cubicle. I had to share cubical with Attorney Racheal till the time she was working. I was cool with it. She greeted me with a smile and so did I. “Would like some coffee?” She asked. “...

Here are 10 great benefits that crowdfunding offers an entrepreneur. 1)  It provides   access to capital . At an early stage, an entrepreneur may think that outside of their own network they can only raise capital from accredited investors, venture capitalists, and banks. This isn’t true. Crowdfunding is a great alternative way to fund a venture, and it can be done without giving up equity or accumulating debt. Rewards-based crowdfunding platforms allow entrepreneurs to raise funds from the community in exchange for simply giving their tangible products or other relative gifts. 2)  It   hedges risk. Starting up a company is a very risky and challenging journey. Besides finding sufficient funding, there are always expenses that are impossible to forecast, challenges in market validation, and other people who want a piece of your venture in order to help get it off the ground. Launching a crowdfunding campaign hedges these risks and serves...
