I LOVE answering questions from podcast listeners. For one, it’s a great feeling to be able to help out that individual, but I also like knowing that the entire audience is benefiting from the advice.
I have to level with you that I get A LOT of emails, messages, and requests for me to spend “a few minutes to give a bit of feedback” on a campaign, product, or business.
Typically, people will send a message asking me to “hop on a call” so that they can “pick my brain” on a particular issue.
I DO want to help readers and listeners with tailored advice, but only if other members of the audience can also benefit.
At some point, I might end up doing a live 4-6 week online crowdfunding class, but for now I prefer to direct people to the podcast, KickstarterForum/CrowdfundingForum, blog articles, my free email course, or “Ask Sal” when they have questions.
Ok, let’s get into today’s question, asked by Hannah Lyons of Subfarms.com:
“Hi Salvador. This is Hannah with Sublicious Farms. We’re a mushroom farm in Florida and we’re preparing our Kickstarter campaign right now. We’re trying to set up a distribution center so that we can set up local mushroom farms all over the country.
We’re trying to figure out when’s the best time to launch, how much we need to have prepared, the posts that we’ll need on social media, and what you have to do right then and there after you launch.”
Hope you enjoy my answer and don’t forget to leave your feedback on iTunes!
