CF is an effort. You have to have a strong and continual marketing and outreach strategy to get traffic to your landing page. CF platforms are just payment gateways, they don't promote your project.
Understood, and we’re certainly aware of that. Which is exactly what we’re doing, but we just kicked it off using many of the main social media sites. Stage 32 is being included for fellow artists to...
