Hi everyone, my friends and i are filming our first professional short film, to raise what we need for it to be possible we started an Indiegogo campaign but so far it hasnt been the best. ¿Do you guys know how to make a crowdfunding as succesful as posible? This film means a lot to us. Thanks
step 1: be famous, or work on something with a rabid fanbase
step 2: start a crowdfunding campaign

prove your potential. if your proof of concept or plea video doesn't show any potential, why would anyone donate?
you can create great and amazing things with the shittiest of equipment these days.
put together a 5 minute proof of concept and see what happens. but no one wnats to throw money at a random person whos going to squande that sucking.

Firstly, crowdfunding is not a very good exposure tool. What I mean by that, you should not use crowd funding if you do not already have people following/interested in your project. You get peoples' eyes on you, THEN you say "you should support us", not both at the same time. This is essentially where 90% of campaigns fail.
You should have been talking to press, utilising social media and following an entire communications strategy for the AT LEAST 3 months period in the lead up to the campaign.
So in short, you are fucked. The only way you might pull it back is if you sit down and write a clever pitch as a press release ("Indie Film Breaks Barriers by Being Super Weird in Lots of Ways!!!) and getting it posted on as many film/indie sites as possible.
Lastly I would say that entering into any indie scene is very difficult if you are expecting the world to just shit money onto your chest. Indie projects are typically labors of love, and only really people with an existing following can expect to be funded externally. You might get lucky, but it is very rare.

this. my channel has a big fanbase, about 100 thousand views per month on videos that have been there for years.
and we still only for 2k out of 10k we needed for the next project.
100 thousand people watch us a month and we sitll only got 2k bucks
