I purchased the top service. I had a very positive experience with CrowdFund Buzz.

I found that after the frist few days your funding can slow way down. this is because all of your friends and family jave helped out. To keep momentum going though you have to reach more new people. This is where they helped me.

Good luck with the project!

In reply to Michael Miller.

could you go into more detail about your experience with them?
how did you find them.
what package did you take.
did you see an increase in traffic.
an increase in revenue.

ive had over 800 visitors in 3 days, but less than 40 contributors. i realize there are issues at play that are difficult to determine. would be nice to have more feedback before making a purchase…with other peoples money.

I would add that you have to be very direct when you are asking your friends and family for funding help. If you ask the for support you will just get Facebook likes and shares. You have to come right out and ask financial backing.
I didn’t know anything about promotion or trying to get press coverage. I hired Crowdfundbuzz.com. They made two suggestions that helped my campaign. They also helped by sending people to my project that were outside of people I knew. Step 2 is important! Do your homework and have a plan ready. If you don’t have a good plan then get outside help.

What IS crowd funding?

The article/blog needs to define the term. The author states that it’s a new concept, so most people need to be told what it means.
