Affiliate referrals for crowdfunding
Kickbooster turns backers into affiliates during a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign, tracking their referral links and paying commission once the campaign funds. Running that by hand across a few hundred backers is the problem it exists to remove. Pricing is monthly plus a percentage of the revenue affiliates bring, so a campaign that works pays more.
Only on this side
All or nothing funding with a real audience
Kickstarter is still where a project with no list of its own has the best chance of finding backers, because people browse it the way they browse a shop. All or nothing is the rule: miss the goal and nobody is charged, which protects a creator from half-funding something they cannot deliver. Nothing about the platform helps after the campaign ends.
