When your project is ready?

Coolest Cooler, a cooler with speakers, mixer, USB charger, bottle opener and flashlight, became the Kickstarter campaign that achieved higher revenues in the (brief) history of crowdfunding platform. No less than 13.2 million 63,000 people. And that only asked for $ 50,000.

Turns out they were wrong in the initial price of the product, the Chinese factory that produced the engines of blenders problems arose and went up manufacturing costs. Instead of sending the refrigerators they already had in stock to people who had financed the venture, they decided to put on sale at Amazon. Project supporters followed them to Amazon to criticize.

And now asking for 97 dollars more each person who supported them for finance production and ship the product.

And all this campaign more successful ...

The most important question you should ask yourself is: How soon will my product be ready ... including unforeseen delays? Approximately 75% of the projects organized campaigns through crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indigogo are delayed when having your product ready. Entrepreneurs who have already gone through it recommend setting a realistic date to launch the campaign next three months ... at least.

Actually, the best way to predict how long it will take to prepare the campaign before launch is to calculate how long it will take you and your team prepare. Not the same work on a project and have already running a marketing department than having to combine tasks. Nor is the same as a person of your team can spend time -because takes time-to prepare the campaign:

1. Prepare a list of emails: personal network, networking, social media ... and send them an email telling them how they can help you raise money for your campaign (text share on Facebook or Twitter, for example).

2. Develop a list of media.

3. Design the content of the campaign: what will you tell and how, because you have to prepare an explanatory video, because you have to also explain what will your product, do you want the money and what it will get in return.

4. Implementation of the contents of the campaign.

5. Design of advertising campaign in social media to support your strategy crowdfunding.
