You know Kickstarter campaigns have all-or-nothing funding goals… but imagine if it was DOUBLE or nothing. Well, because of a special grant today’s guest, fantasy illustrator Anthony Christou received, his latest campaign is exactly that.
Highlights of this Session Include:
- How Anthony has been able to increase his convention sales and strategies for traveling to lots of conventions.
- Why Anthony’s next Kickstarter launch doesn’t have a all-or-nothing goal… it has a DOUBLE or nothing goal.
- Tips for pursuing grant funding for your art.

On this podcast back in 2017, I told you all I was shooting for a six-figure launch for the Sweet Dreams Cthulhu Kickstarter campaign.
Well, we came up a little short on Kickstarter…
But thanks to CrowdOx, we were able to shoot way past the six figure mark…
And it was the easiest funding to raise in the entire campaign.
See, CrowdOx helps crowdfunding project creators increase funding, manage their campaigns, and save time.
How does it work?
Well, CrowdOx helps creators take a successful campaign and keep the funds coming in by:
Selling Upgrades, Add-ons & Extras during the survey process with just a couple clicks.
Accepting pre-orders on a beautiful CrowdOx store to keep the funding coming in.
Collecting funding that Kickstarter couldn’t from backers unable to fix their CC in time.
Accepting Paypal! (HUGE!)
CrowdOx Customers are raising on average an extra 12% of funding after their original campaign is over…
My first CrowdOx turbocharged launch, we raised an extra 18% and enabled us to hit that six figure goal.
CrowdOx is an alternative to BackerKit, and while I’ve used and recommended both companies, I prefer CrowdOx because it offers:
A per BACKER pricing model vs. a per Funds Raised, which usually works out better for creators.
An easier interface for creators and survey/checkout experience for backers.
Faster funding… Backers are charged immediately for their pledges, so there’s no risk that credit cards won’t clear when its time to fulfill.
And now, as a ComixLaunch sponsor, CrowdOx is offering creators an additional 10% off their per backer pricing at Crowdox.com.
So check them out and raise more funding after your next successful launch with CrowdOx at Crowdox.com.
