Below is an email we received from the founder of Patronomy – They are currently seeking mentors and promoters for their new crowdfunding platform. We encourage you to have a look and apply, as we have.

Are You a Successful Mentor?

If you can mentor crowdfunders to make their campaigns or businesses a success, Patronomy wants to hear from you!

“Not just another crowdfunding portal”. Well, the folks at Patronomy know how hard it is to raise money, so they have made getting the right advice and the right audience the top priority for their new site.

Nigel Roth, the founder of Patronomy.com is a veteran of the computer industry, having joined Burroughs in 1974 with a Bachelors degree in Management Sciences from Manchester University. Since 1988 he has started and run a number of successful businesses including distribution, sales, marketing and online B2B.

Promotion, promotion, promotion and then some!

Everyone needs a helping hand when it comes to starting a new project or business. Mentoring is one way to provide support and advice to entrepreneurs when they need it most. Crowdfunding is creating new ways to reach an audience and to raise funds for causes, ideas, products, services and creative projects. It can also be a challenge against the clock and needs careful planning and preparation not only for the campaign itself, but also for every aspect of the projects. Specialist advice on finance, accounting, marketing, manufacturing, video making, logistics, legal and other issues can make the difference to get your campaign noticed and your project successful.

Getting noticed requires months of building your following and priming them to commit at the launch of your campaign. Statistically most campaigns fail to reach their targets because the audience has not been created. Patronomy encourages the use of professional network and affiliate marketers to take the message to the crowd. Of course, intensive marketing does cost money but no more than the normal budget that should be allowed for in the course of creating a solid business or project plan.

While most crowdfunding portals limit the project owner, Patronomy has created the widest range of project models to suit every type of campaign. As well as “All or Nothing” and “Keep It All” models, Patronomy allows Minimum plus, Subscriptions, Royalties and Equity funding. When you are up and running, Patronomy becomes an ongoing sales channel for your products or services including the continuing support of your promoters.

For a limited time only, the site is offering to run one pro bono campaign* for each new mentor, and five campaigns at half the usual fees* if you have a worthy cause that needs funding. Register your details and tell them why your project should qualify. (*Payment processing fees still apply)

“Patronage for the digital age” is here, so register at patronomy before 30th September 2013 for your free Mentor or Promoter Listing.
