About
Crowdfunding is an increasingly mainstream fundraising option for companies, businesses, celebrities, and individuals alike, and it's a tried and true way to earn the funding you need to launch a product, service, or idea into production.
This course is designed to teach you the basics of how to plan, run, and manage a successful crowdfunding campaign on the platform of your choice by helping you to understand, predict, and use marketing, analytics, and trends to your advantage. While primarily intended for individuals wishing to launch their own crowdfunding or fundraising campaigns, this course is valuable to persons who work around startups, in a startup, or around artists who might need crowdfunding campaigns.

Most importantly, you have to learn how to create shareable content that will boost your campaign. This course will guide you through each of these challenges to help you plan, create, and launch a successful crowdfunding campaign.
