Hello,


I have been busy promoting My Dream the last couple of days, which is essentially marketing your website,  in the big scheme of it all... Brilliant! It seems that with each passing day, comes an even higher chance of a dream coming true. In contrast the dreams early on are less likely, and their efforts will see result, but not until the next generation...'Reverse Social [Media] Security". The part I am marveled by is that no one is the wiser while caught in their Dream.

Realizing that there is an entire underlying concept to this growing trends puts it in a new light.  Not a better or worse one, but a different one that is for sure. I think it is pure genius, and the part that is unsettling, is company are not presenting the true design to the public. Your website does not even provide marketing tools [most likely something to come later] Out of six or seven social media plug-ins seen on the page where My Dream is listed, only one is a link specific to my cause, the others actually take my visitor off of my page and on to a new window to your social media pages. Pages that do little to feature clients. I would not be surprised to see it on the auction block after the contest.

I spent countless hours, and have directed a fair amount of traffic to your website, and to be quite honest, I feel used!...What is worse is the amount of work I have put in to no benefit of my own, and those who are to benefit will do so by deception. Please do not reply with argument, as perception is reality and this is as I perceive it.  There is no need to admit intention, or to argue points in order to validate areas where you deem worthy.

One last thing, this following statement is just wrong on so many levels: 
Finally, when it comes to the execution of your Dream, please know that you must market your Dream to your Friends, Family, Clients and Colleagues. Though you have a very good dream, seldom are they successful without a proper marketing plan in place. I cannot Stress this enough, rally the troops! This is your Dream, don't let anything get in your way especially a poorly executed marketing plan! 
Can't give up now, I have put way too much into it, and personally I think the incentives are just silly. Turn about is fair play, are you a good sport?

Thank you so much for submitting your Dream to CrowdIt.com. We have reviewed your submission and your Dream has been approved for our site. 

In the spirit of CrowdIt being more than just a platform for acquiring capital but that of a community where Dreamers come together with Believers to gain feedback, guidance, and support I would like to offer you a few suggestions to think about that might help you have more success.

Add a video as this increases pledges by up to 115%
Add more photo's to your pitch!

Add more Incentives and levels of Incentives

Another huge opportunity we noticed that you have for better results and huge funding potential is in your rewards and incentives. If you could offer more incentives and  things a little more personal we think you might have better results. Let us give you some examples. Maybe you offer to personally collaborate with a few of your backers to design a  service package that you sell and maybe name it after them or maybe they help design the site..  Maybe put up a public thank you and their picture on your website/ social media as honorary Board Members or Advisors. This eternally memorializes their contribution. You could limit the number of these you offer and command a much higher contribution for this as well. Another idea would be to actually offer some more levels of  product as an incentive or reward, just make sure the profit margin makes sense for you. Maybe you could offer a private party that is exclusive and special in some way. In conclusion the point to take away from these suggestions is that any incentive or reward you can offer that is tangible or offers your Believers to get intimately and personally involved is typically a great way to engage the contributors to your dream and creates greater results.  

Finally, when it comes to the execution of your Dream, please know that you must market your Dream to your Friends, Family, Clients and Colleagues. Though you have a very good dream, seldom are they successful without a proper marketing plan in place. I cannot Stress this enough, rally the troops! This is your Dream, don't let anything get in your way especially a poorly executed marketing plan! 

Best of luck!!! If you ever need anything from us please contact us!!!
