Co Founder of Headfunder Nolan Thompson Speaks on Social Crowdfunding. - CrowdClan



Nolan Thompson: It all depends on the social media
platform that you choose to spend most of your time on. If you are on
Facebook all day, then that platform is going to work better for you
than the other ones will. We spend more of our time on Twitter so our
reach is much larger on there than the other platforms we have accounts
on.


In our experience, we have seen more crowdfunding campaigns trend on
Facebook over the other social media platforms. As for the crowdspeaking
campaigns, we feel that more of the audience is on twitter since those
accounts are able to have the larger social reaches compared to the
other social media platforms. The social reach is one of the important
parts towards getting your message seen.


Michael Ibberson: Already HeadFunder has the lowest
fixed-funding fees in the industry, so what motivates the portal to give
10% of its profits back through Magic Box? Do you know of any other
like-minded programs out there?


Nolan Thompson: HeadFunder is focused on impacting
the world in a positive way by giving back to the people who use our
platform. We feel that if other platforms took on this method of giving
back, then together we could do a lot of great things in this world and
make amazing things happen. Isn’t that what crowdfunding is all about?


The only other like-minded program that comes to mind is the Make A
Wish Foundation. They help make people’s dreams become a reality which
is something awesome. We hope that our 10% will equal something life
changing for people in the near future so we can start to help the
world!
