Need Funding? Try Kickstarter.com"},"content":{"rendered":"

Let’s say you’re working on a project that can loosely be defined as something creative. \u00a0Maybe you want to shoot a film. \u00a0Maybe you want to develop unique software. \u00a0Or maybe your project deals with food or even video games. \u00a0But you’re stuck. \u00a0You don’t have the money to either launch or complete the project. \u00a0What do you do? \u00a0Well now you can turn to Kickstarter.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kickerstarter<\/strong> is a web site where you can post your project. \u00a0If people like it…and like you…they can make small donations towards your project. \u00a0In return, you give them some type of freebie (related to your project) back. \u00a0Get enough people to make enough small donations and you can get the funding needed for your project.<\/p>\n

It’s a lot like a PBS fundraiser where people make donations and in return they receive a coffee mug or whatever. \u00a0Except it’s all done over the Internet.<\/p>\n

Of course there are some rules. \u00a0You have to specify an exact deadline for your project and the exact amount of money you need. \u00a0If you don’t get enough pledges or you don’t meet your deadline, you get none of the money. \u00a0If you do meet those things, the money is yours (minus a 5% fee that Kickstarter takes).<\/p>\n

Long and short, it’s a very interesting way to get certain projects funded…based entirely on the generosity of people you don’t even know. \u00a0To learn more about Kickstarter and how it works…along with seeing live projects seeking and receiving donations, click here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
