For many startups and growing companies, gaining marketing exposure and raising external funding from investors are first and second on their priority list. But, until recently, they were always separate activities - first you would raise the money, and then you would spend it on marketing. The advent of equity crowdfunding means these two critical tasks can be done at the same time. This is a game-changer.

Gone are the days where you must rely on large financial institutions or big-name investors to bring a great idea to life. No more needing to explain why you deserve a business loan despite not having a Ph.D. from an Ivy League business school, twenty years experience in your industry, and a million dollars worth of assets as collateral. All of that is in the past, thanks to the Internet making crowdfunding accessible to just about anyone with a computer. One of the biggest names in crowdfunding makes it even easier to raise funds to bring a project to life.

Heartbreakingly Disappointing and Insulting
- By Marcus Haynes on 11-28-20
By: Ernest Cline
Publisher's Summary
As a veteran of six successful Kickstarter campaigns (and counting) and the proprietor of the Kickstarter Lessons blog, Jamey Stegmaier knows something about crowdfunding. In this audiobook he goes beyond the nuts and bolts of how it works to a deeper level - crowdfunding not just as a cool way to raise money but as a better way to build and run a business.
This book features over 40 illustrative examples of crowdfunding campaigns. Some succeeded wildly - like the high-tech cooler designer whose first attempt faltered but whose second raised $13 million. Some were sobering disasters, like the board-game maker (not the author!) whose mistakes caused his project to collapse in two months, forcing him to return over $100,000. Stegmaier uses these stories to make points about topics such as preparation, timing, what kind of offers to make and what kind to avoid, what to spend money on and when, and more.
But he insists it's not just about the money - if you follow Stegmaier's advice, crowdfunding can enable you to build a loyal following before you even have a product. He shows that if you treat your backers as people, not pocketbooks - communicate regularly with them, ask their opinions, attend to their needs - they'll become advocates as well as funders, exponentially increasing your and your projects' chances of succeeding.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Incomplete, boardgame focused
Would you try another book from Jamey Stegmaier and/or Mitchell Lucas?
This book does a good job of covering crowdfunding of boardgames for Kickstarter only. The author did make some generic advice but the majority of the examples were boardgames. Very little on technology projects for example. He lists other crowdfunding sites at the beginning but the rest of the book is all kickstarter. He covers some things thoroughly, such as how to set up a shipping distribution network to cover Europe and Asia (ship palettes of product to Amazon Fulfillment centers). In many other areas, the book could have been more complete. For example it offers some advice on what to put in a promotional video and how long to make it . It says nothing about how to produce such a video.
Was A Crowdfunder's Strategy Guide worth the listening time?
maybe
Any additional comments?
For boardgame creators, this book is quite a valuable resource.

6th listen!
I think this book has some luls where the stories might not feel relevant to the reader but by the end Jamie really drives home why he has been such a successful Kickstarter. Making your projects about your backers is the most important thing you can do and I love how clearly this comes across throughout the book. Everytime I work on a project I re-listen to this book. It is the perfect audiobook to have in your arsenal for workmode "reading" as you go through your pages. I will no start it over from the top as I continue to working on my latest page.

This book gives an introduction to how the author used crowdfunding as a support to his ventures and even better than this, he also gives some very intuitive lessons on where he made mistakes.

Good introduction
What made the experience of listening to A Crowdfunder's Strategy Guide the most enjoyable?
Not knowing much about crowd funding from any angle this was a great introduction. The author doesn't oversell and knows what he is presenting.
Which character – as performed by Mitchell Lucas – was your favourite?
The character of Jamey Stegmaier was performed really well.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Let's be honest here, not sure that it would translate well to film and at this time of night, after my one or two whiskeys, can't think of any clever tag lines.
Any additional comments?
As an overview it was great and if I get serious of raising funds by crowdsourcing I would definitely give this one a re-read.
