Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting and talking shop with Max Willens of Magnet Media, editor of the blog WeAllMakeMusic.com. We discussed how fellowship is one of our core values as a company - a belief that directly led us to launch RocketHub.org - a place where we provide information to all Creatives looking to crowdfund their projects or endeavors.
Our vision of building a space where Creatives are accountable to their audience and network alone is a key motivator for us - and a "crowdfunding education" is a key piece of that vision. Our goal is to always be welcoming and foster an environment for the rising Creative Class to learn and to be empowered.
From the article:
To draw users and curious crowdfunders to the site, Meece and his partners wrote something they call The Crowdfunding Manifesto, essentially a road map that anyone can follow, “to galvanize both our community and help the overall ‘Crowdfunding for Creatives’ movement,” Meece explained.
The Manifesto helps artists understand what’s required to successfully fund projects based on their size, the importance of rewards, and what kinds should be offered, and more. Its insights can be applied to any crowdfunding platform, whether it’s Rockethub or a competitor like Kickstarter or IndieGoGo.
That is one of the most important things about Rockethub. “We really consider the other platforms colleagues in this new sector,” Meece stressed. “We share mentions by bloggers, radio shows, news articles etc. – and have a lot to learn from each other. In the end, choice stimulates demand for the overall market – and the pie gets bigger, which is good for all of us.”
