Sponsorgoal.com was founded by Kim Bass of Bass Enterprises Productions, LLC. and developed with the help of Sky Life Media. Sky Life Media is a small group of technology professionals who specialize in internet development and online marketing. A team of technically savvy people who share the same ideals and are here to continuously develop, innovate and improve Sponsorgoal.com 

After graduating from the University of Massachusetts – Lowell, Kim worked for the past 25 years producing quality events throughout the Northeast where fundraising was at the core of these successful events. Kim helped thousands of individuals to raise money and fulfill their dreams. SponsorGoal.com was created to help people just like you raise money easily and effectively online.

People are often driven by an idea or passion, a dream they can not put out of their minds. These ideas, dreams and goals nag at us, but often fail to get off the ground. Why? Lack of finances, support or simply because we get talked out of it….sometimes it’s our own inner voice that talks us out of it.

Now consider this: you have an idea, a talent or a passion, but instead of just thinking about it, you take just 2 minutes to take a picture or video of your idea and tell your story. Then you get creative and contemplate gifts or rewards you can provide in return for the contributions people make to you to help you make your dream a reality.

Then imagine… we help you set up a web page, using your video or image and sharing your story. We provide you with the social media marketing tools to share your dream and your fundraising goals with millions online.

Next thing you know, you discover people want to be part of it, because they believe in you or because they think it’s a great concept or idea. Maybe it was their dream once upon a time, and they regret never having pursued it. Before you know it, you start receiving financial support for your idea, and suddenly it gains momentum until you reach your goal.

And there you have it. You went from dreaming to taking action to seeing your dream become a reality. Sky Life Media is a small group of technology professionals who specialize in internet development and online marketing. A team of technically savvy people who share the same ideals and are here to continuously develop, innovate and improve Sponsorgoal.com.Time to start dreaming again!

We want to help you do just that.

SponsorGoal.com  is a social network to connect projects with backers and as a marketplace or escrow house for project funding. Becoming a popular business model in the last two years, and several more have sprung up  each with their own perks, quirks, and twists on the basic model.

SponsorGoal.com is a natural fit for an Pageant contestant, Charitable Fundraiser or an independent game developer who needs to connect with an audience and secure funding at the same time; rather than having to “prove”  to a publisher, you’re “proving” it directly to your customers, and you don’t have to go out on a limb funding it yourself with no idea of whether or not you’ll sell enough copies to recoup your investment.</description><title>Sponsor Goal</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @sponsorgoal)</generator><link>http://sponsorgoal.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Crowdfunding Your Restaurant Business - HIGHLY Recommended!</title><description>&lt;div class="posterous_autopost"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Funding is the biggest challenge in running a successful business, especially in the &lt;span class="il"&gt;restaurant&lt;/span&gt; industry.

Therefore, these owners may feel they don’t need additional funding. This is a very desirable position to be in.

Most end up spending their life savings, with no back up, on a business idea and gets lost in a competitive market.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Even if you do not need additional funding, set up a budget for your business. Identify the financial needs, i.e. drinking glasses (there is no need for the most expensive glasses, plenty will get broken). Also, make sure you confide and take advice from a trusted business advisor – whether that is your accountant, a mentor or a fellow entrepreneur. No matter what, don’t do it all by yourself. You can easily spot a &lt;span class="il"&gt;restaurant&lt;/span&gt; a mile away that was just a fun idea by a rich owner.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Not to mention, there are numerous business grants available to small businesses.

Very Important! </title><description>&lt;div class="posterous_autopost"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How important are rewards or perks?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What should you offer sponsors for donations?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Its  simple -  the rewards or perks you offer are essential &amp;#8220;thank yous&amp;#8221; to  your sponsors for their support. They are devised at the beginning of  the campaign and flagged prominently on your campaign page. They should  be creative, fun and related to your project or goal. They need to be  organized according to the amount donated. Rewards are distributed at  the end of the campaign or at the end of the funded goal.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; But Crowdfunding Perks are much more than that.The best  rewards create a lasting impression on your sponsors.  They should be  designed so that they come back to you in the future, support the funded  project, or use your services. They are marketing tools – giving your  sponsors a consistent branded token that reminds them of your project,  goals and their connection to you.  &lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;We recommend not waiting until the end of the goal before you offer the cheapest reward of all – your thanks! Who wouldn&amp;#8217;t want to pledge a $1 and instantly receive the merit of your exemplary action? As  they say, the sky&amp;#8217;s the limit! Create perks that you have fun giving!  Your supporters will pick up on the good energy of gratitude that you  send them through the perk!&lt;/p&gt; Things to think about:&lt;br/&gt;Add rewards into your budget. It is  sometimes said that 20% of the funds raised will be rewards. You have to  take into consideration the cost of producing the item as well as  postage. If you have an international audience then digital rewards  might be the best option.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; Create useful tools like a spreadsheet so you can work out the costs  of your rewards in advance. Listing things like materials, postage,  free tickets or copies etc. Perks are a great and lasting way of saying &amp;#8220;Thank You for supporting me and my goal!&amp;#8221; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; If you would like to create a crowdfunding campaign and start raising funds by offering crowdfunding perks go to &lt;a href="http://www.sponsorgoal.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.SponsorGoal.com"&gt;www.SponsorGoal.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for simple online funding.  &lt;div class="p_embed p_image_embed"&gt; &lt;a href="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-04-17/jaejdgCvnsDjghtvGpqAsgJAfDlAnFaoBldneJkEGzvbDAwoqvFeJxaaAIsB/Crowdfunding_Sponsorship_Perks.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="Crowdfunding_sponsorship_perks" height="600" src="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-04-17/jaejdgCvnsDjghtvGpqAsgJAfDlAnFaoBldneJkEGzvbDAwoqvFeJxaaAIsB/Crowdfunding_Sponsorship_Perks.jpg.scaled1000.jpg" width="650"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;   &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://sponsorgoal.tumblr.com/post/21273946607</link><guid>http://sponsorgoal.tumblr.com/post/21273946607</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:22:16 -0400</pubDate><category>instruction</category><category>make money</category><category>raise funds</category><category>setup</category><category>sponsorship</category><category>tutorial</category><category>best practices</category><category>best practices for</category><category>best rewards</category><category>branding token ideas</category><category>campaign</category><category>cause crowdfunding</category><category>crowdfund</category><category>crowdfunding</category><category>crowdfunding campaign</category><category>crowdfunding perks</category><category>crowdfunding platform</category><category>crowdfunding projects how to</category><category>crowdfunding tips</category><category>crowdfunding tools</category><category>digital rewards</category><category>fashion goal</category><category>funding goals</category><category>funding projects</category><category>goal.com</category><category>marketing strategies</category><category>rewards</category><category>simple online funding</category><category>sponsogoal.com</category><category>sponsor donations</category></item><item><title>Crowdfunding Perks.

Now more than ever projects  with publishers are going to sites like SponsorGoal.com to cover  additional costs.  &lt;p&gt;The  basic idea is an  artist/writer/director/creator posts a description of a  project and a  dollar amount they need to complete the project. Patrons  and fans can  then pledge money towards the completion of the project. As  the amount  of money donated increases, those donating will receive  perks or  premiums including things like a copy of the work, their name  in the  credits or original art. Some sites hold the pledged money in  escrow  and only release it to the creators if the target price is met or   exceeded. Some sites pay out funds as they are pledged. SponsorGoal.com is the primary   crowdfunding site, allowing you to keep your funding raised no matter what!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Unexpectedly  some  of projects being crowdsourced already have publishers. Where once  a  published author might have looked foolish asking his audience for   production or marketing money for a project that already has a home, the   new reality is not only are creators asking for this, some of them are   getting it.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Publishers use sites like SponsorGoal.com as kind of a side pot, where the  creators can use  comp copies, sell enough books to pay the costs, allowing it to go to the stores  and retailers so they can do their business.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Perhaps the biggest name in comics to use  crowdfunding for production costs is Tony Harris, who successfully received $11,820   to pay for his “page rate for penciling, inking and coloring 96 pages   of art” and “administration fees for publishing, and promotional items”   for a project already placed with “Desperado/IDW.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Crowdfunding Comics has also had an unusual side effect most would not expect. Crowdfunding Comics has   ended up being one of the biggest sources of advertising. It has helped some comics become   viral, by spreading word about the comic in a way to grow the webcomic&amp;#8217;s audience with the help of its  readers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;And  really, while  patronage may be technically more correct, crowdsourcing  doesn’t take  off without some level of fan involvement. Technology has  now connected  readers to creators in such a way that creators can now  reach out for  support in areas that were traditionally the domain of  publishers  and the readers are reaching into their wallets.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you would like to submit your comic for a crowdfunding campaign and gain funds for your publishing dreams go to &lt;a href="http://www.sponsorgoal.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.SponsorGoal.com"&gt;www.SponsorGoal.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and set up your comic goal and start raising funds today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://sponsorgoal.tumblr.com/post/18962100627</link><guid>http://sponsorgoal.tumblr.com/post/18962100627</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:09:50 -0500</pubDate><category>create</category><category>instruction</category><category>make money</category><category>raise funds</category><category>setup</category><category>sponsorship</category><category>tutorial</category><category>best practices</category><category>best practices for</category><category>budget</category><category>campaign</category><category>cause crowdfunding</category><category>comic book publishing</category><category>comics</category><category>crowdfund</category><category>crowdfunding</category><category>crowdfunding comics</category><category>crowdfunding tips</category><category>crowdfunding writing projects</category><category>free signup</category><category>funding projects</category><category>goal.com</category><category>marketing strategies</category><category>publisher tips</category><category>sponsogoal.com</category><category>sponsor a goal</category><category>sponsorgoal</category><category>sport sponsorship</category></item><item><title>Crowdfunding Comics - Become A Crowdfunding Legend!</title><description>&lt;div class="posterous_autopost"&gt;&lt;div class="p_embed p_image_embed"&gt; &lt;a href="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-24/bwoIljAzAhwlesJygElwAzjsqyqIFAbHDHplsivtisDjDHiamoCnicomGvuG/Crowdfunding-Comics.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="Crowdfunding-comics" height="857" src="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-24/bwoIljAzAhwlesJygElwAzjsqyqIFAbHDHplsivtisDjDHiamoCnicomGvuG/Crowdfunding-Comics.jpg.scaled600.jpg" width="600"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; Crowdfunding is emerging as a new force in comic book  publishing, not only to fund new projects, but to address long-standing  creator complaints like lack of promotion and advances.

Technology has  now connected  readers to creators in such a way that creators can now  reach out for  support in areas that were traditionally the domain of  publishers  and the readers are reaching into their wallets.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you would like to submit your comic for a crowdfunding campaign and gain funds for your publishing dreams go to &lt;a href="http://www.sponsorgoal.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.SponsorGoal.com"&gt;www.SponsorGoal.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and set up your comic goal and start raising funds today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://sponsorgoal.tumblr.com/post/18962099987</link><guid>http://sponsorgoal.tumblr.com/post/18962099987</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:09:49 -0500</pubDate><category>create</category><category>instruction</category><category>make money</category><category>raise funds</category><category>setup</category><category>sponsorship</category><category>tutorial</category><category>best practices</category><category>best practices for</category><category>budget</category><category>campaign</category><category>cause crowdfunding</category><category>comic book publishing</category><category>comics</category><category>crowdfund</category><category>crowdfunding</category><category>crowdfunding comics</category><category>crowdfunding tips</category><category>crowdfunding writing projects</category><category>free signup</category><category>funding projects</category><category>goal.com</category><category>marketing strategies</category><category>publisher tips</category><category>sponsogoal.com</category><category>sponsor a goal</category><category>sponsorgoal</category><category>sport sponsorship</category></item><item><title>Crowdfunding Your Video Games is WINNING!</title><description>&lt;div class="posterous_autopost"&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is crowdfunding games, you ask?
