EP #422 How To Raise £115,984 on Kickstarter and Indiegogo While Working Full-Time | Creamy Patina

Sometimes when you have a great idea, what’s holding you back is not just the know-how but the belief that it’s possible to turn it into a successful product.

But here’s the thing: your product idea might be manifesting someone’s hopes and dreams, and the only way you can find out is by putting it out there!

Our guest’s story is a perfect example of that.

His story defies some of the widely-held beliefs about what’s needed to launch a campaign, like the need to quit your full-time job, to have $50,000 for marketing it, or to have an army of collaborators to help you out.

Surely, none of these would hurt. But even if you can’t afford these things, it’s still possible to smash your funding goal, and hopefully, that’s one of the things you will take away from this show.

In this episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to Imran Haq, who raised over £115k on Kickstarter and Indiegogo and attracted 772 backers for his unique miniature watch cufflinks.

Imran will share the tips and strategies he learned while preparing for his first Kickstarter campaign and the lessons learned on starting his own business.

For example, in just 5 days, he transformed his far-from-perfect landing page into a descriptive and eye-catching page (the best of both worlds!). 

Listen to this podcast episode to find out how he did it and how he launched a killer campaign with almost no outside help and resources.

We hope you’ll walk away with some actionable steps and tips for your next campaign!

Hope you enjoy the show!
