5 Tips for CROWDFUNDING Your BOOK (on Kickstarter, IndieGogo, etc.)

Hello, AuthorTube! Today I'm talking about how authors can use crowdfunding to take preorders for a new book and support any costs of the publishing process. I have 5 tips that I've learned from my 2 Kickstarters (which have raised over $10k total!)

Great points SAVY, it's important to get the discussion going because I can see more than a few way I could botch my potential campaign. The Verge has a series on gadget makers & they where complementary in their coverage. Which makes me think this topic is more important than creatives & makers might realize.

Thanks! Can you share the manufacturer you use for your stuffed animals?

This is a great explanation because I always wondered what the difference was between the platforms. I guess I could have googled it but this was a much better way to find out 😋. Collaborating with people is so fun and can be such a great source for exploring creativity.

Awesome tips!! I thought about doing it a year or two ago but I was embarrassed so didn’t go through with it. I might have to rethink doing it

Awesome video, this is really informative, and I'm definitely interested in trying this out. I love independence in my creative endeavors, but I lack money so this would be helpful.
p.s. I love your shirt!

Hello! Thanks for sharing. Do you put the book print price that includes royalties for your work in creating or the price of it only as it costs to print

OK, I do have a question. I am thinking about crowd funding the illustration of my childrens book. I was going to publish through KDP but then I won't really have hard copis of the book to send to people who help fund the project. Where are you publishing your books?
