Crowdfunding campaigns have multiple elements: A project description, a 1-3 minute video, 3+ reward tiers for contributors, a fundraising goal, and a list of project risks and rewards.

Successful crowdfunding projects usually have several things in common: Strong visual appeal, a compelling backstory, exciting rewards, a social media/email marketing plan, and a network of people invested in the success of the campaign. Most people spend 6-10 weeks planning the launch of their campaign, from building the campaign itself to creating a content calendar to promote the campaign while it runs.

If you would like Wise Ink’s support for your Kickstarter campaign, Wise Ink will co-create the copy for your Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to offset the cost of publishing. This service includes a one-hour consultation, editing up to three drafts of your campaign text in a Word document (including rewards and the video script), and outreach templates and strategies. Kickstarter video creation and campaign set-up on Kickstarter are additional services available upon request. Wise Ink is not responsible for the success of the campaign. Kickstarter co-creation and support is charged at $525—mention you’re interested in Kickstarter support when you pitch your book!
