I have put together a fund raiser on Indiegogo.com to give my wellness consulting business an advertising boost.  The problem I have is I don’t know how to get the word out.  I have sent the information to friends and family.  I have posted it on FB and LinkedIn.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Here is a link to see what I am doing:  http://igg.me/p/68313?a=424408 

To build on what Dianne said, your proposal is too generic, and there is nothing on the page that supports the claims you’re making. You need to show potential sponsors that you really know your stuff and that your program can truly make a difference in people’s lives.
You may want to add a little info on your background and explain a bit more what your wellness program entails and throw in a graphic or video as Dianne suggested on that campaign homepage.

Good luck.

Fawn, I used kickstarterhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/76008715/a-dollop-and-a-pinch-wants-to-get-cooking  and I think it is similar to Indigogo. Most of the projects are creative in nature. Have you looked through the other projects to see if there are any like yours? Were they successful? What type incentives did they offer? Why do you need so much money? What sets you apart from others like you (your “unique selling point”) that would motivate someone to support you?I hope these questions help. @fawnmorgan

Kickstarter is great for businesses/projects related to the arts.  Indeigogo has more along the business line, but they don’t seem to be funding as well as arts and food.
