EP #489 Easy Tactics to Beat Your Kickstarter Goal in One Day | Mass Explained

Are you dreading launch day, and wondering if anyone will pledge to your campaign?

Are you secretly afraid that your years of hard work and dedication will come to nothing?

Then get ready for this episode of Crowdfunding Demystified, where our guest put 30 years into his project…and beat his crowdfunding goal on the first day!

Salvador Briggman interviews Dan Gonzalez, a graphic designer turned writer, storyteller, publisher, and entrepreneur who has put Sal’s teaching to good use to launch a very successful campaign. And now Dan is here to show you how he raised nearly $40,000 on his $8K goal.

Dan created Mass Explained, a complete book to encourage people to become more intentional in their spirituality and really participate in the Catholic Mass. Packed with over 1,700 infographics including charts, diagrams, pictures, and more, Dan also delves into nitty gritty theological debates that would interest every one of any faith.

Wanting to see his vision through to the end, Dan needed funding to self-publish his work… and that’s when he turned to Kickstarter.

Dan will show you the exact tactics he used during his 2-month prelaunch campaign to build a customer base, and educate potential backers about crowdfunding. Dan also emphasizes the importance of being real to your audience, and taking the time to answer all their questions. 

And once you have backers, Dan will guide you through keeping them excited for your project with podcasts, Facebook, Reddit, radio shows, public presentations, and more. 

Don’t let fear stand in your way. Listen to this eye-opening podcast, and learn the strategies to make your next campaign a success.
