There are so many great tools that are provided as an avenue to be able to assist people further in their pursuit of seeing their project and dreams come true. One such tool that is widely used, but also abused is that of Crowdfunding. Just like with all things it starts out great and then people misuse what they have access to. It is time for people to get an understanding on what crowdfunding is and what it is used for. You can grab my book on Crowdfunding entitled, “Get Crowdfunded Now,” for more details.
So many people are so quick to get funding and do not know how to get Crowdfunded Now the right way. There are so many things that I see that I had to address. It is time for people to act out of a state of integrity as it coincides with their brand and their brand message. What are you saying to your tribe? “Oh, I am going to say it is for a certain project and then use the funds towards something completely opposite of what you set the campaign up for. This happens. Also, trying to crowdfund for campaigns that are not going to make an impact such as (insert an example here.)
You have heard the quote used many times, one bad apple spoils the bunch. It is time to get serious about what your mission is. Don’t try to deceive your tribe of people by trying to crowdfund when you don’t even have the knowledge of what it means to crowdfund and what all is entailed. Ever wonder why so many campaigns are not even done successfully is because they do not truly display what the intention is. Before you start crowdfunding connect with me so that I can ensure that you have the basis on which to start and have a successful campaign.
There are people who have an idea of something that has the potential to really change things and benefit other people. Act with honesty and integrity so that a good resource won’t be ruined. Is what you are trying to accomplish going to impact other people or are you doing to manipulate for selfish gain. There is always the right way to go about doing something and trying to find a way to alter the original intent of crowdfunding is misleading.

It’s not enough to be a great athlete; you must take the opportunity to promote your brand. Shows are a great way to do that. Even if you pitch and they don’t use you, you will be part of their database. That is what makes every pitch a home run. Unless you are clearly NOT a fit, you are in the database and have a chance that you will get a call. And when media calls, you show up.
Below is a real show looking for BMX-ers. You can pitch if you are a good fit, if you are not a good fit, you risk getting banned from their mailbox forever!

SOSO Charge Case

Many of you lose your cable for your mobile phone. With SoSo the cable is part of the cover and you can never misplace it. The cover is on the phone. It works for iPhones and iPads. It stays flat and out of the way. It works in a wall or car adapter. This high quality cover is built to last and withstand daily use. the iPad covers will also convert into stands. The goal is $25,000 to create this. It was designed in Germany.
When you buy a new smartphone, the first two things that you think of are always the same: you need a case, and you need a charger. Without the former, your phone can easily break, and without the latter, you can’t use your phone for very long at all. Thus, it seems like commonsense that these two things be combined. As useful as a phone case is, it would be even more useful if it could simultaneously protect your phone and store the all-important charger.
This great new invention on Indiegogo and they expect to ship in June of 2016.
