Crowdfunding Personal Expenses: Get Funding for Education, Travel, Volunteering, Emergencies, Bills, and more! Kindle Edition

by Salvador Briggman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 86 ratings
Yes, it’s true, crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe offer a NEW way to help pay for personal expenses. These could include medical bills, emergency costs, and memorial funds. Crowdfunding can also be used to help pay for your education expenses or volunteer efforts. But, that’s not all.

Crowdfunding isn’t just for charity or personal cause campaigns. Believe it or not, more and more newlyweds are turning to crowdfunding to pay for their honeymoon! Some are even using it to pay for travel expenses!

I’ve been writing about crowdfunding since 2012 and have seen more campaigns than you can imagine. Last year alone, I helped nearly 400,000 individuals raise money from the crowd through my website, podcast, newsletter, and forum.

Even though crowdfunding is an amazing tool, there’s a right and a wrong way to raise funds online. That’s where I come in. I’m going to guide you through the murky waters and share with you the best techniques, strategies, and give you the inside scoop on some of the crowdfunding platforms and websites out there.

I’ll also give you a heads up on costly MISTAKES TO AVOID when launching your first campaign. Believe me, you don’t want to make a fool of yourself or learn the hard way. I’m going to make it dead simple and give you the step-by-step guide for raising money online. All you’ll have to do is copy it!

- Sal

P.S. There is a FREE bonus video at the end of this ebook. Hope it’s helpful!

    Reading Briggman's works has helped me begin to work out a plan to possibly starting my own campaign, making me feel more confident.

    Before reading this book, I had no idea what I would or could do with crowdfunding.

    Now I feel a little wiser.

    Great read, good info and short discussions on the various sites out there and ideas for campaigns.

    I recommend this book as a starter!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unlocking the full potential of crowd sourcing
    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016

    I recently had a close friend of mine pass away, leaving his wife with much debt and two children to raise. This book helped me to unlock the full potential of Crowdfunding. It really went a long way to help her out with the expenses of death, I would not have been able to raise as much money without the guidance in this book, and certainly could never have donated as much money by myself.

    Thank you Mr. Briggman!

    This short book is a great introduction on how to launch and maintain a successful campaign on sites like GoFundMe. There are practical tips and advice that could have a very meaningful impact.

    In a new edition, I'd like to see more on medical fundraising campaigns, as this was conspicuously absent in Chapter 5. The topic is big enough it might warrant a chapter of its own!

    I learned a few tricks I hadn't thought of - and reading this short book made me realise just how much work will actually go into a full crowd-funding campaign. For that ALONE, I am grateful and makes it worth the price of the book.

    This slim book is not worth its price, you will get just as much advice, free gratis, from a simple Google search.
    You need to put more into your products Salvador this is just fleecing those who, by needing it, are already financially challenged - shame on you.
