I have not tried crowdfunding personally, but from what I have heard, it is a legitimate means of earning online income. You are able to gather money through different ways but one caveat is that there needs to be an element of trust between both parties involved.I always read and hear about success stories through crowdfunding online but I never know if they are real or not.
I know some new products have been made possible thanks to places like Kickstarter but I don't personally know anyone who has found success in starting their company this way.
Has anyone here managed to pull it off? If so, how long did it take to reach your goals?
