There are various challenges that those who engage crowdfunding especially online are almost sure to come up against some of these challenges are listed below.
Trust Issues
The first and most challenging issue with crowdfunding is trust. A brand with no prior record becomes a challenging issue because you have to consider how to generate enough brand credibility with investors, donors, and fundraisers.
Making Your Crowd Platform the Right One
There are a lot of things users consider when choosing the right platform for their crowdfunding enterprise, these include; the types of visitors they attract, the number of visitors they attract, their terms and conditions the cost of running the campaign. This is why we recommend Amtelwebfunding where services are free and on 4% donation processing charges.
Realistic Targets and Deadlines
This is one of the greatest challenge facing crowdfunding enterprise. Setting a realistic target and deadline for actualizing the target is ultimate in the business because if you do not get the setting right you can dissuade your supporter from rendering their supports and contributions
Building Brand Interest
It is a big error to build a platform before building interest. Always build an interest month prior to the launching of the platform this will help you to get an initial large boost to your goal.
Getting Fulfillment
The benefit and reward for hard work is fulfillment. Your brand image is hanging on your ability to not just deliver the crowdfunding and goal but also to provide contributors with their rewards in a timely manner. Some problems with fulfilments are: Not budgeting for postage and packaging, not budgeting at all, confusing contributors by offering too many options that take a longer time of delivery
Copyright issues
There is always competition in every market. There are individuals who are always in to steal your ideas to better theirs. Copyright is a challenge in crowdfunding because as long as your idea is open to the public there are chances of individuals stealing your brand idea to better theirs.
Managing compliance and accounting issues
Funds raised through crowdfunding have a lot of account uncertainties because they cannot be declared as income nor capital. What the fund would be will be dependent on the expertise involved and they will determine how the funds would be taxed.
