I spend a lot of time thinking about how artists can make money and writing about how artosts can make money. One of the newer topics I am covering in my talks at music conferences and on my vlog series Sound Advice is crowdfunding.
Many artists that I speak to seem interested in crowdfunding but many seem hesitant because they don’t think its OK to ask their fans for money or can’t figure out what exactly to offer them.
This week artist Phil Putnam (who is also the sales director at Ariel Publicity and a Cyber PR artist) and Brian Meece the founder of Rockethub.com have started a new blog series called “The In-Crowd” which is insiders look at crowdfunding, and will answer these questions and many more that you may have about this topic.
Each Monday, the boys are giving us an honest look at a crowdfunding project in action and dish on how things are going. Phil is not only talented and a fantastic sales director, he is also hilarious and this blog series promises to be informative and fun.
I will be cross posting here with my two cents and I would very much love to hear about your journeys with crowdfunding. This first post will give you the 411 on crowdfunding a well as some solid advice from Phil on what you need to have in place before you attempt to launch your own project.
