I started this new “Ask Sal” podcast segment, where you can ask me anything about crowdfunding, marketing, being an entrepreneur, or my life.
The goal here is not to focus on me. It’s to focus on you and to bring as many relevant resources to light as possible. This is an easy way for me to answer questions directly from readers like you.
You can ask me a question here.
Here’s today’s question: “Can you launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for a crowdfunding platform?”
