1. Get involved: there's no magic formula
Putting your project on Ulule is not enough to get it funded. You and the people around you are the ones who will get things moving. Your project is you.
2. Make people want to join in
Great images, a video, a clear presentation. A project that is a pleasure to discover gets shared more easily.
3. Understand the all-or-nothing principle
For a reward-based campaign, you only receive the funds if you reach your goal (which you can exceed). Otherwise, your backers are refunded. Set a realistic goal that truly covers your needs.
4. Find much more than money
The people who back you are your first audience. Beyond the funding, it's a story you write together, with advice, encounters and sometimes friendships.
5. Stay in charge of your project
You keep full intellectual property of your project. You are also responsible for it, and for your relationship with your backers: keep in touch and share news.
6. Count all the costs
Your funding goal must include:
- the amount needed to carry out your project;
- the cost of making your rewards;
- the cost of shipping your rewards;
- Ulule's commission: see What is Ulule's commission?;
- any taxes due on the funds raised: see How do I declare the funds raised as a project owner?
The service fees added to each contribution are paid by your backers: they don't reduce what you receive.
