Although it may have looked like I knew what I was doing in 2012 when I raised ,000 in 28 days for the End Sex Trafficking Day campaign, truth be told I didn’t. I didn’t have much of a strategy, I didn’t have a team and each day I implemented new ideas to fund my passion project. And it may have worked, but there is a better way.
And today I’ve got an interview with Crowdfunding Expert and founder of The Mad Hatter Agency, Eli Regalado to break down how to run a successful campaign, the mistakes he sees and how he got started in such an innovative and fresh entrepreneurial space.
End Sex Trafficking Day is uber blessed to have Eli on board this year to run our crowdfunding campaign and his fundraising brilliance has just been too good not to share!
Whether you’re thinking of starting a new business, a new idea or a passion project listen up because he’s including plenty of gems in our interview. And trust me, you don’t want to take the hard route like I did, his tips will save you plenty of headaches and long days.
