I'll be pleased to hear from you - have a nice evening
Hi @arthur.grafo, sorry for the delay. You really sorted it out, so I will try to help you based on this info you provided.
Crowdfunding - The principle of almost every platform is the same - you provide perks to your donors based on the amount they donate. First, check fundition.io. It is a crowdfunding platform based on Steem blockchain and you can contact them on their Discord - I am sure they will be happy to assist you in this process.
Try other, non-blockchain platforms for crowdfunding. Indiegogo has a community segment, check it here
https://www.indiegogo.com/explore/community-projects?project_type=all&project_timing=all&sort=trending. If I remember well - this platform has two types of funding - fixed and flexible. You decide what is the amount you are trying to raise - in case of fixed funding, if you fail to achieve it in a specific time period, money is returned to donors. In the case of flexible - you can keep what you got, as long as you deliver promised perks to donors. What many people. What people usually forgot to mention is the fact that these campaigns depend heavily on advertising and other activities (spreading the word on other forums, boards, engaging your audience, research...) There was a talk about Indiegogo and Kickstarter algorithms which starts to list projects on trending pages only if they manage to raise 30% of their funds in the first days of the campaign. Now I don't know if they are true, but in any case, this will not happen spontaneously, you have to plan the campaign.
Unfortunately, I am overwhelmed with my stuff and it wont be better untill the spring 2019. Every second of free time is invested in the @crowdmind project - but it can be interested to you. You can always ask other Steemians to join you in your mission - that is exactly what we want to empower here, so you can count on our support too...
I've already asked a small number - but everyone has too many problems of their own.
Anyway, I appreciate your reply and advice. Thank you
