Crowdfunding is a new way for founders and marketers to approach launching and promoting a business in a less risky way. With tools like LaunchBoom, IndieGoGo and Kickstarter, turning a business idea, without needing external funding OR lots of external resources, becomes a lot easier.
In this episode, I interview Fahhad Mustafa, who is a digital marketing expert that specialises in all things crowdfunding (strategy, paid campaigns, email marketing and landing page creation). Teaser: he also has an MBA in marketing, so he has both practical AND formal knowledge - lots of goldmines here, as always, enjoy 🙏
