Financing / Crowdfunding : Prepping For A Campaign by Mary-Helen Norris

I'm starting to prepare to launch a campaign to film a pilot for a web series. I don't think I'm going to launch until around December to give myself time to get everything together and ready. Down in past posts, I see a lot about building circles and other things people do to prepare. This is the first time I've tried to do a campaign like this and I want to give myself the best chance I can to do it well. Any advice would be appreciated.
