Launching a campaign takes work but where the real elbow grease needs to be applied is in PR. Not only does it serve as a powerful vehicle to promote your idea or product but it serves to raise exposure around your crowdfunding efforts, even increasing contributions. Maintaining your GoGoFactor rises you up the ranks to be qualified to be featured on our Homepage, social media efforts and our newsletter. Yet outside our immediate community, we want your campaign to flourish.
We’ve created a step-by-step list of 5 PR tips to follow to get the ball rolling:
1. Look to your Friends & Family first
Do a brainstorm of all the people in your immediate network who work in media, might know of people who do or have themselves undertaken a PR mission for past projects. Explain to them what you’re trying to do and look to them for best practice advice. The power of your own network with an introduction to the editor of a key publication might be all you need to start generating PR success.
2. Write a press release
There are numerous lists online about how to do this but be sure to deposit all the text directly into the body of the email. Editors and journalists don’t want to take that little bit extra time opening up documents. Think of the Who, What, Why, When and Where rules in journalism – write a concise paragraph that explains who you are, what your campaign is about, why it’s happening, how long your campaign is occurring for and where your audience can access perks in exchange for contributions.
3. Create a press list of blogs
When you’re starting out, it’s best to manage expectations that you might not be written about on the Wall Street Journal just yet. Where you can seed your campaign is on influential blogs relevant to your space. Create a list of 10-15 popular blogs that you like that are heavily active in social media.
4. Follow your favorite websites & related journalists
By posting a version of your press release on your blog, you now have a link to tweet to journalists from key local websites or influential blogs. Find out who these people are by doing your research and tailoring each release to target their publication. Whilst it’s good to send both an email press release and a tweet to follow up, be sure not to over spam – the key to this process is engagement and building a relationship.
5. Don’t sleep, use social media!
Take the time to understand social media. Talk to active users you personally know to get an idea of key influencers you should follow and start to engage with them. A single individual with numerous followers tweeting out a link to your campaign is just as powerful as a blog posts that reaches thousands. It can be re-tweeted and posting on Facebook creating a viral effect that is both fast and highly effective.

If people commenting just want to generate links then they should at least show
the intelligence to try and post a related and thorough comment.
All comment spam will do is possibly damage your SEO efforts and also creates worthless links.
The realsafest way to behave is to befriend fellow bloggers who
have blogs of similar theme and hopefully generate genuine targeted traffic by posting a well thought out comment.
Hopefully some of those people might consider that before commenting below me, Thank you.

I’ve been a professional in Public Relations for over 20 years. The problem is pretending that anyone an do it and is good at it! When I try and help project creators, those that do it right see great and almost immediate improvemens. Those who always believe they know better and only change what they like, are doomed to failure.
Too close to your project means you can’t see it from a potential buyers view point…. If you take pride in your own profession, then don’t assume you can become an expert at mine overmight. It seldom works that way at all!
Hi
I am trying to raise funds for Marcia Hill of Hope Fund on Indiegogo http://igg.me/p/176116?a=892588 Advertising and PR has never been my strong suit. Do you have a website?
That is a good article with some good advises. And i agree with the written above about “practical PR” i would like to see more detailed analysis.
I really like Indiegogo’s support with the blog and the tools. But i still feel like there is something missing… we have a simple explanation, good perks, videos and updates… I would really like some advise and opinion http://www.indiegogo.com/tooljar
And i thank Indiegogo’s team for the good work and support!

Wow whatta site ,connecting people who care & actually send $ . but seriously $700K to a poor gal that was bullied by some ignorant spoiled kids ? Wish there woulda been something like this when PA gov. denied me workers death benefits after my wife was murdered by her employer & co-workers….I lost all we owned to foreclosure & had to leave the state….Only Pa says men not eligable for death benefits and never changed the law yet..2 appeals to the states highest court & lost..judges conspired with legislators to fix case…Pittsburgh newspaper reported on it in 97 my wife was killed in 79 …18yr in litigation ..PA one of the most corrupt states in the union…The good ole boys still in control today as they were in 1880′s

You notice so much its near effortful to discourse with you (not that I rattling would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new whirl on a theme thats been typed most for eld. Discriminating poppycock, simply large!
PR is important for every business. And with the advent of internet and social media, press release and advertising is much easier and much cheaper compared to before.
