Could a Good Consultant Help You With Your Crowd Funding Campaign?

Lucas McNelly is an award-winning filmmaker - but he's also carved out a niche as a consultant to filmmakers building their own crowd funding campaigns.

As a crowd funding consultant, Lucas offers a menu of services - from helping you with data-collection (for which he might charge as little as 1% of your goal) to running your entire campaign (which Lucas warns will not absolve you from your responsibilities of communicating with your audience, but he will handle the operational set-up, for which Lucas might charge as much as 13% of what you raise).

If you're curious about Lucas's approach to crowd funding and his chops, here's a link to a 2011 interview with Lucas about his Kickstarter campaign for "A Year Without Rent."
