We’ve been talking a lot about crowdfunding on this blog recently. It’s a vitally important new trend in business financing, and one that you cannot ignore. @CFSoftLaunch put out a great article recently along these lines that caught our eye. The tweet points us to an article which explains why crowdfunding campaigns fail. Take a look, read it carefully and be sure to account for these while planning your crowdfunding campaign.

Thank you Serious Pony for this amazing insight!
This week’s tip comes from Dr. Jennifer Bennett who makes an important point about business. Businesses should learn to be themselves and be different from others. Don’t try to fit into the pack, stand out. As she says, people will notice, and that is of course what you want for your business.
Don't compare yourself to others…instead, be you, be different. Others will notice! #BusinessTips
