Avoid These Crowdfunding Mistakes on Social Media!

One of the more popular requests we get here at Stage 32 is information on best practices for promoting a crowdfunding campaign on social media. Recently, spurred on by the sheer amount of crowdfunding spam he was receiving on his Twitter and Instagram accounts, our CEO, RB, republished his popular Medium article: 5 Ways You Are Incorrectly Using Twitter to Promote Your Crowdfunding Campaign. Although the article singles out Twitter, these mistakes and ill advised practices are common across all social media platforms, including right here on Stage 32! This is not only a must read for those embarking on a campaign, but involves best practices for networking, relationship building and branding as well. We ask that you please recommend the article on Medium by clicking on the heart button at the bottom of the piece, and share this information with other film creatives you feel could benefit from the content. And as a reminder, you can follow RB on Medium, and on Twitter and Instagram at @RBwalksintoabar Enjoy!   To Read 5 Ways You Are Using Twitter Incorrectly to Promote Your Crowdfunding Campaign Click Here!     Like this blog post?
