I can say with certainty that we wouldn't have surpassed our goals without her involvement, and owning her book, The Crowdsourceress , is like having her 'special sauce' right at your fingertips." -- Jesse Reed, Co-founder of the Standards Manual, "Neil Young's Pono campaign is the most successful technology campaign of all time, and Alex deserves much of the credit... The Crowdsourceress will give you everything you need to make your crowdfunding campaign a success."-- Phil Baker , COO of Pono, "The success of our campaigns have been the result of three things: quality content, good storytelling, and crowdfunding management by Alex Daly.

Synopsis
In the past year, crowdfunding platforms helped generate a staggering $34 billion dollars in funding. But the harsh reality is that the majority of crowdfunding campaigns fail-only 40% meet their goals. And failing means failing hard. If you fall short of your goal by the deadline, not only won't you see any of the money you've worked so hard to raise, but you might actually tarnish your shiny idea.Alex Daly is a hugely successful crowdfunding expert who has run some of Kickstarter's biggest campaigns, from TLC's new album to Neil Young's music player to Joan Didion's documentary "We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live." In this book, she shows you how to: * Build a deep fan base prior to launch * Understand the psychology of why people give and create the right narrative around your project * Find the right platform on which to raise funds * Deal with unfulfilled promises and angry backers * Create intimacy and promote shareability of your project * Best use influence and exclusivity to get funded.Woven throughout is Alex's own entrepreneurial story-the unconventional career path she took to ultimately start her business, Vann Alexandra, thanks to crowdfunding. And she will take readers deep into her most successful campaigns, showing them how she helped them get funded. As someone who's spent lots of time in the trenches, she has learned the hard way how to communicate and connect with people on the Internet-and offers tangible tools to run your own crowdfunding campaigns. Above all, this is a book about how to fully connect with the crowd, get people to pay attention, and inspire them to act., "Neil Young's Pono campaign was the third most successful hardware campaign of all time, and Alex deserves much of the credit, second only to Neil, of course.

    Book exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.

    The book arrived right on time. The packaging was excellent. The package contained two books and both were perfectly wrapped to keep them both clean and flat. The book was as described. Clean and crisp. The Price was perfect as well. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I would definitely use this seller again.

    Very happy with my purchase! The book was new as described and was safely shipped in a protective bubble mailer, it arrived pristine condition. It's important to me that any books I order arrive undamaged, so this was such a relief. I will definitely remember this seller if I want any more books in the future.
