Helping Entrepreneurs Raise $1, 000, 000, 000 + in Funding ๐Ÿš€ Raising capital isnโ€™t just about getting fundingโ€”itโ€™s about finding the right investors, telling a compelling story, and executing a strategy that works. My mission is to help 1,000 entrepreneurs raise over $1 billion, and Iโ€™ll show you how to secure 6, 7, or even 8 figures for your company. How? Keep reading ๐Ÿ‘‡ I launched my first Kickstarter campaign in college, turned it into a 6-figure e-commerce brand, and successfully exited.

Over the past 4 years, Iโ€™ve been digitalizing capital markets and leading some of the most successful crowdfunding and fundraising campaigns. Iโ€™ve helped startups raise over $85M, facilitating 50,000+ investment transactions across Wefunder, StartEngine, Republic, Kickstarter, and Indiegogo.

Hi, Iโ€™m Matt and I'm UpWork's #1 Book Marketer, so I can GUARANTEE results for your book too. With 12+ years of experience in the publishing industry, Iโ€™ve marketed 800+ books and sold over 4 MILLION copies. (feel free to ask for examples of books I've marketed for past clients) My promise: I'll get your book in the hands of thousands of Bloggers / YouTubers / Podcasts / Reviewers who will then get their literal millions of followers to buy/review it, and I can get your book sold inside thousands of Bookstores and on Library shelves. I've done this hundreds of times and with all genres, so you can see hundreds of positive reviews from my clients here on my Profile page. Be sure to take a look at the following docs in the Portfolio section here on my profile: 1. My โ€Client Results Spreadsheetโ€ (which shows all of my clients from the past 2 years, which services they ordered from me, and the profit that resulted) 2. My โ€Client Sales Chartsโ€ (screenshots that my clients took of their Amazon sales charts after my marketing) Put simply, my 4-step process is very โ€œturn-keyโ€ for my clients, as I do 100% of the work for them, and with each step being optional: STEP #1: I supply you with the Contact List files of your choice (just a few examples below): + 850 Bookstores + 2,730 Libraries + 420 Book Review Blogs + 55 Book Review Podcasts + 180 Book Review Youtubers + 1,000 Health and Wellness Blogs + 1,000 Business Blogs + 420 Mom Blogs + 600 Self-Help / Self-Improvement Blogs + 750 Family Lifestyle Blogs + 250 Children's Book Review Blogs + 375 Mental Health Blogs + And many, many more! STEP #2: I write Custom Outreach Emails to each Contact List for you STEP #3: I send out the thousands of emails for you and I'm able to guarantee a minimum Open Rate of at least 40% STEP #4: The contacts then buy, review, and share your book, so their millions of followers can see it and buy it as well I also offer an incredibly in-depth 40-page Book Marketing Guide that goes through literally every tactic that authors should be doing to market their books, including links of where to do these things, when to do these things, and how best to do them. A bit more about me: I'm also an award-winning author myself with multiple bestseller books - one of which is currently being produced as a feature film. Send me a message with your book's genre (and target demographic, if you know it) and letโ€™s discuss! - Matt

How to Hire Top Crowdfunding Specialists

How to hire crowdfunding specialists

Do you have a new business or product idea but arenโ€™t ready to pursue formal investment channels? Why not raise capital from the crowd? If youโ€™re looking for a contractor who can help you run a crowdfunding campaign on sites such as Kickstarter, Fundable, and Indiegogo, a crowdfunding specialist can help.

So how do you hire crowdfunding specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top crowdfunding specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist crowdfunding professionals

As youโ€™re browsing available crowdfunding consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the contractors you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a crowdfunding specialist who understands your target market so they can build you a crowdfunding campaign that will resonate with your audience.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., launching a crowdfunding campaign with Kickstarter).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what itโ€™s like to work with a particular crowdfunding specialist.

How to write an effective crowdfunding job post

With a clear picture of your ideal crowdfunding specialist in mind, itโ€™s time to write that job post. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

An effective crowdfunding job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From running your crowdfunding campaign to handling PPC (pay-per-click) ads, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or marketing channels, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

CROWDFUNDING SPECIALISTS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is the practice of leveraging the public to fund projects, products, and start-up ventures. A crowdfunding specialist can help you set up an account on a major crowdfunding platform and build a conversion funnel around your campaign through traditional digital marketing tactics such as social media shares, email lists, and content creation.

Hereโ€™s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in crowdfunding professionals:

  • Crowdfunding
  • Digital marketing
  • Content creation
  • Social media
  • Email list building

Why hire crowdfunding specialists?

The trick to finding top crowdfunding specialists is to identify your needs. Which crowdfunding platform (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Experiment) will you be using to raise capital? Will your crowdfunding specialist also need copywriting skills to write the copy that will turn leads into investments? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a crowdfunding specialist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced crowdfunding specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their crowdfunding services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
