Crowdfunding PR’s goal is simple. We want to make it possible for crowdfunders to shop for  crowdfunding platforms in a similar manner to the way media planners/buyers used to analyze ABC and BPA audit statements to buy advertisements in the business-to-business trade publication industry, where important media buying decisions were based on straight mathematics, not popularity or random guessing.

For example, would you rather run a crowdfunding campaign on a site where visitors are looking at 2-3 pages in around 3 minute’s time or a site where buyers are spending 6 to 11 minutes reviewing 6 to 10 pages?

This is the difference between shoppers who are visiting a site to see a particular crowdfunding campaign based on a marketing campaign versus people who are visiting a site to explore and actually shop around to find good deals to buy or invest their money.

This is why launching a campaign on Kickstarter or GoFundMe does not guarantee success. While Kickstarter, GoFundMe or Indiegogo may be the largest sites in the world, people are only spending enough time to shop through more than 2 to 3 crowdfunding profiles before they exit. While other sites like Razoo.com, DonorsChoose.org, and FundingCircle.com have visitors that stay more than 6 to 11 minutes and view 6 to 10 pages.

When researching, planning and executing successful marketing programs for both crowdfunding platforms as well as their individual crowdfunding customer profiles, it is extremely important to see what is driving the most traffic to any given crowdfunding site.  Success is usually determined not only by what site the crowdfunding campaign is being hosted on, but also the marketing programs being harnessed to drive potential donors/investors to a specific crowdfunding profile.

Clicking on each link above will allow media planners/buyers to understand what role direct traffic (content marketing), search engines (SEO, PPC Advertising), social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, Quora), email marketing and display advertising (Google Display, Outbrain, AppNexus) are having on the success of crowdfunding campaigns.

For example, when planning a social media strategy, one of the most popular questions we get asked is – what social media networks are driving the most visitor traffic? Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Quora, Reddit, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram? The links above will make this answer crystal clear.

Not satisfied with your position on the list? Front Page PR’s team of crowdfunding PR, social media and marketing experts can help crowdfunding sites and crowdfunding campaigns plan the perfect mix of integrated marketing programs to significantly improve the amount of website traffic being driven to any given fundraising campaign or crowdfunding platform.

Feel free to call (512) 627-6622 with questions or request help to improve your website statistics before June.

RealtyWealth Launches Houston Real Estate Crowdfunding Platform to Meet Foreign Demand for Passive Income

21 Nov

RealtyWealth allows accredited investors in the US, South Africa, China, and Canada to invest in institutional quality, corporate backed lease properties from credit rated tenants such as McDonald’s, Walgreens, Starbucks and Walmart

By Robert Hoskins

Houston, Texas –RealtyWealth.com announced the launch of the first commercial real estate Crowdfunding platform dedicated to Single Tenant Net Lease “STNL” investments. Targeting accredited investors in the US and global investors in South Africa, China, and Canada, RealtyWealth.com provides the opportunity to invest in institutional quality, corporate backed lease properties from credit rated tenants such as McDonald’s, Walgreens, Starbucks and Walmart.

RealtyWealth is also the first portal to offer passive realty investments to foreign investors seeking the stability and yields of US Real Estate Assets. Chinese investors have been particularly active, with investments in US commercial properties jumping 10-fold from 2012 and expected to reach $10 billion in 2014 according to Real Analytics.

The last six months have seen significant development within the real estate Crowdfunding market and RealtyWealth.com is poised to take advantage of this heightened interest from investors, developers and intermediaries. Over $700M has been raised by Real Estate Tech Startups since 2012 with peer sites Fundrise and RealtyMogul boasting $100M+ post Series A valuations.

Taking advantage of this foreign investor wave, RealtyWealth have built key marketing relationships with international consumer sites like Juwai.com- the largest outbound Chinese investment portal for US properties– and have distribution partners arranged or under discussion in South Africa, Latin America and Canada.

RealtyWealth.com operates as an aggregator of local and foreign investors seeking stable US-based Real Estate Investments,” said Sam Vogel, co-founder. “STNL products offer long-term, corporate-backed, passive income with an inflation and currency hedge to our investors.”

STNL Investments offer passive investments consisting of long-term leases, guaranteed by the Corporate Tenant.  Tenants are responsible for ALL incidentals including taxes, insurance and maintenance – normally the landlords’ responsibility. Many leases have rental bumps to keep pace with inflation and investors can depreciate the property against tax. In the unlikely event that the tenant defaults, the investor still owns the underlying property.

Whereas UHNW, Family Offices, Hedge Funds and REITS have invested in STNL investments for decades, less than 10% of the 8.7 million Accredited investors in the USA are aware of these investments.

“NNN Investments are essentially corporate bond-type investments in real estate wrappers,” said Bryan Smith, co-founder and CEO.”Compare investing in Starbucks stock at 1.6% dividend versus acquiring a corporate backed Starbucks lease achieving returns of 6% to 7% unlevered?”

RealtyWealth’s  proprietary, state-of-the-art platform and dashboard allows investors to review properties, make investments, track portfolios and receive statements, earnings and tax computations all online.

RealtyWealth are working closely with developers, brokers and intermediaries in the CRE market to introduce STNL investments in the US and abroad.

From only $5,000 a month, investors can invest in these appealing properties and enjoy the opportunity to build value over the long term.

Top 10 Equity Crowdfunding Sites for Accredited and Non-Accredited Investors in Texas

By Robert Hoskins

Austin, Texas – We set out to write a story on the Top 10 Equity Crowdfunding Sites in Texas, but according to Google there are only few rewards-based and equity-based crowdfunding sites (see lists below) that are planning to serve the Texas market place.

Suffice it to say that there is a huge opportunity for people with finance, legal and marketing experience to get into the Texas crowdfunding business.

Texas ranks #2 only to California by population with an estimated 26 million people, and approximately 20 million of those are 18+ years old.  When the Texas Intrastate Crowdfunding Exemption Rule goes into effect in November 2014, unaccredited investors will be able to invest up to $5,000 per year in start-ups and existing businesses, which represents a potential investment capital pool of $100 billion.

If you’d like to explore what it takes to setup a crowdfunding site in Texas, please give us a call at (512) 627-6622.
