Crowdfunding Your Startup - Video

If traditional bank loans and venture capital aren't up your alley when it comes to financing your small business, consider crowdfunding. If you're looking to raise money to open another location, expand your product line, or grow your business, you can use crowdfunding to do so. What does that entail? Creating a project on a crowdfunding site like KickStarter and inviting your network to participate. Why It Rocks There's no formal investment pitch with crowdfunding. No getting your hopes high that an investor will fund you, only to be let down.
