Successful crowd funders understand that building relationships and expanding your personal network is key. Therefore, it is crucial that you take the time to network—but do not ask for money or even request the sharing of your message immediately. Give people time to review your project, get to know you and make a knowledgeable decision. It might make sense to offer potential donors something of value—in return for sharing your campaign with a friend, ie a free ebook.
