What Is Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding Is More Marketing Than Fundraising

Why Is Crowd Funding Happening?

 

Trigger 1: 2005 International Year of Microcredit: This was a special event of the United Nations. The event highlighted Micro-Finance as an instrument for socioeconomic development

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Year_of_Microcredit

  

Trigger 2: 2006 Nobel Peace Prize: Micro-credit has proved to be an important liberating force in societies where women in particular have to struggle against repressive social and economic conditions http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2006/press.html

 

Trigger 3: 2012 JOBS Act: President Obama signs the Jobs Act supporting Crowd Funding in April 2012. Crowd Funding and Micro-credits are in the same scientifically economic boat of Micro-Financing.

From www.hypergridbusiness.com - December 21, 2012 5:32 AM
James OReilly's insight:

I don't think this project will be successful on Kickstarter.com because you need 100% goal achievement to receive money (at low fees), beyond that, the pledged sum (and benefits offered) + time left doesn't seem realistic. Indiegogo.com allows less money for pay-out (at higher fees). But to learn how to improve the approach, its an interesting case study > Video Tutorial: Creating Crowd Funding Success http://www.scoop.it/t/immersive-world-crowd-funding/p/1756912124/creating-crowd-funding-success

James OReilly's comment, December 21, 2012 7:36 AM
So go for the pain resolve, reduction of youth unemployment, and then build a crowd funding project... wanna bet that the pledged sum is acheived and maybe over-acheived...

The future of machinima, or making films using video game graphics engines, looks promising... With new game engines such as Unreal Engine 4 from Epic Games and tools for making films from Valve, machinima filmmakers are getting a lot closer to being able to depict realistic human imagery and beautiful scenery they couldn’t produce otherwise.
