Videos Raise More Money

IndieGoGo projects that showcase a video or pitch clip raise on average 122% more than projects with no video.

Take-Away? Don't tell it. Show it. No matter what stage your project, make a pitch clip that captures its heart, broadcasts your passion, and shows-off your style.

6Q with the Kornbluth Brothers

[Full Interview]

In 2001, funny brothers Josh and Jacob Kornbluth headed to Sundance with their office comedy Heiku Tunnel (later picked up by Sony Pictures Classics). Now they're back again with Love & Taxes the first pro-tax romantic comedy of its kind!

For this month's 6Q, the Kornbluths decided to spice things up a bit with a video.

1.  What are your goals for Love & Taxes?
2. How are you identifying, reaching and building your audience?
3.  What tactics did you use for financing? Any advice?
4.  What role does the Internet and social media play in your DIWO (Do-It-With-Others) fundraising or audience-building efforts?
5.  How do you connect your online campaigns with offline fundraising and audience-building?
6.  What is next on your radar? And where can folks follow your efforts?

Watch Full 6Q Interview here.
