Guest Speakers / Post 3

Last week Thursday there is a wife and husband team came to our class shared the experience about raise 50,000 dollar in 60 days. This is such a valuable experience that I learned a website called "Kickstarter" from that. Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. It is really fun when I heard that the projects on Kickstarter all has its deadline and minimum of funds to raise.Kickstarter pledge drives are "all or nothing," meaning that if the goal isn't met by the specified time then no one's credit cards are charged and the project doesn't get any of the pledged funds.Also, the advantages of Kickstarter is it is inexpensive, and your idea can reach mass like Facebook, Twitter, Blog, and Video. On the other hand, the disadvantages of Kickstarter is risking your idea. From the guest, I also learned the big secret of raising funds, such as collaborate, connect, and engage influencer. By the way, I hope their project of "Ride with Larry" will get success.
