34 2. ASSESS YOUR POSITION FIRST Why are you crowdfunding? Do you need the cash? Are there other methods of raising funds? Then Do you have a budget?

35 3. DO. YOUR. RESEARCH. Does your product suck? Do you know how people value your product?

36 4. DO. MORE. RESEARCH. Talk to people Ask open ended questions Not Would you buy...? But How do you currently do...? Does that process work for you? Keep validating

37 5. PLAN AHEAD Build Team Launch Social Media Photos/Video for Campaign Begin PR Outreach , , Launch campaign Giveaways , , Run Ads Celebrate!

38 6. HAVE A BACKUP Contingency Plan What if you fail? What if you succeed?! Can you fulfill all the rewards? Nobody will babysit you
