Check our 60% Kickstarter Crowdfunding Review it's a Meltdown with the Absolutely Lowest Media Reviews we have read.

In this crowdfunding review series we Explore Alternative Crowdfunding Sites. Last week we reviewed Givebutter Crowdfunding some alternative crowdfunding opportunities include Givebutter, Kickstarter, Fundly, Donorbox, IndieGoGo, Classy, Patreon and finally Bonfire. These Crowdfunding sites are are arguably the most recognized sites to obtain crowdfunding to start a business or new adventure. So What is Crowdfunding? Crowdfunding harnesses the power of the internet through social media to provide the opportunity to raise funds that help others overcome hardship and meet aspirational goals—crowdfunding bridges the gap between those in need and those available to help them.

For those looking at crowdfunding for the first time, here are some of the benefits of crowdfunding:

There are no long wait periods to receive your funds.
Crowdfunding takes the fear out of asking for financial help. Sharing your fundraiser with your network of friends and family members on social media, from Instagram to Facebook (Meta), is simple.
Crowdfunding makes it easy to reach people outside of your network.

Kickstarter Crowdfunding Review

60% Kickstarter Crowdfunding is a Meltdown Crammed full of Terrible Media Reviews

60% Kickstarter Crowdfunding is a Meltdown with the Absolutely horrific Reviews of its "Fast-Track Fundraising For Your Creative Projects."

Kickstarter looks excellent for creative projects from film, music, art, theater, games, comics, design, photography, etc… On the face of it, this firm looks first-class. But dig deeper, and a graveyard of skeletons appears, festering below the surface.

Kickstarter's Mission is to Help Bring Creative Projects to Life.

💰 Price: Average. Kickstarter’s fees add up to 8% + 20 cents per transaction, which appear to be some of the highest for a crowdfunding platform. We believe that cost and the “all or nothing” approach could lead to some online criticisms and poor reviews.

We followed the trail exploring the crowdfunding opportunities on the well-thought-out website, where many projects appear to be getting funding and are legitimate.

😵‍💫 Fraud protection guarantee. Sort of ⭐ Washington state Assistant Attorney General Jake Bernstein filed a lawsuit in 2014 against the “Asylum Playing Cards” campaign on Kickstarter, which started in 2012 and raised $25,146 to make a horror-themed card set. Backers were expecting their rewards in December of that year. But nothing ever materialized, according to backers, and the last anyone heard from the project creators was in July of 2013.

“Against the company, Altius Management, based in Nashville, Tennessee, and the person who started the Kickstarter campaign, Edward J. Polchlepek III, also known as Ed Nash, demanding refunds for backers and fines for violating the Consumer Protection Act.”

Ten years on, do they have fraud protection? Just the standard credit and debit dispute system with a “Trust & Safety team” who will work directly with the card issuer to mediate your case. This is the consumer industry base standard. You make the call.

✅ Best for: Fundraising for independent creative artists, from musicians to screenwriters, comedians to visual artists, and more.

✔️ Tip: If You are an Independent Author, join The Independent Author Network IAN or the American Society of Journalists and Authors asja.

The Kickstarter Crowdfunding Funding Site is not for general fundraising for charity, personal needs, or advocacy efforts.

🤩 Features we like:

Featured Projects in all categories
Some great categories like “Projects we love”

👉 Content Branding Solutions take: Consumer Affairs has some critical reviews of this site. Funders claim that “it is a scam” and suggest, "Think twice before you get into bed with Kickstarter.” Trustpilot gives Kickstarter one, yes one star ⭐ with reviews calling Kickstarter a “Scammers paradise.” We find it hard to believe and/or recommend this crowdfunding company.

Based on the internet Reviews and third-party validations surrounding Kickstarter Crowdfunding...

We liked what we saw, but Content Branding Solutions can not recommend this crowdfunding company.

Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns are “all or nothing.” You must raise (or exceed) your fundraising goal, or you walk away without a dollar! Which puts $$$ in who’s pocket? This is perhaps why there are so many one-star reviews. However, we believe this is a deal breaker and a NO-GO for our clients.

The Unconscious Branding Effect

Research reveals that image and emotion beat fact and logic. We are subconsciously conditioned to like and believe in the psychology of color and develop a preference for brands that use positive emotional conditioning.

Researchers called it the "I like it, but I don't know why" effect. This is the Branding Effect.
