an Indiegogo campaign to raise
money for licensing of music, and
distribution of his indie documentary, Destiny’s Bridge, about
homelessness and a solution for
it. He’s raised $10,000 in 30 days
and has opted to extend it for
another 30. Jack has worked 16
hour days for months, preparing and executing his campaign.
When he looks at it in terms of
time and money spent, he feels
he’s worked for something like
25 cents an hour---and he misses
his wife. (Not every artist will
have Jack’s endurance.)
In case you want to try this
“Next Big Thing”, you’ll find a
book with that name. And among
the huge number of other books
about it CF, there is, of course,
“Crowdfunding for Dummies.”
