Predictions for 2024!

Welcome, fellow Crowdfunding Nerds, to a crystal-ball-gazing session in Episode 158! Your hosts, Andrew and Sean, along with guest Rick, delve into the future of board games and crowdfunding. We jest, debate, and ponder on everything from China's manufacturing scenario to the rising costs for creators. Yet, we remain hopeful as we foresee an increase in backer numbers.   We envision a future where games are compact, streamlined, and focused on solo play. We also predict the rise of Game Found, potentially overtaking Kickstarter. The AI debate gets heated as Andrew and Rick share contrasting views. We also touch upon Kickstarter's fee changes, the surge in religious-themed board games, and the use of Twitch for promotions.   Reflecting on 2023, we express gratitude for the success of Deliverance and the birth of Andrew's son. We invite your feedback and look forward to another successful year in crowdfunding.   Join us in this exciting journey!    Links to check out: https://crowdfundingnerds.com/episode104/https://www.augmentedarcana.com/https://crowdfundingnerds.com/episode102/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 12:32 China's Manufacturing and Costs for Creators 22:04 Game Design and Solo Play Trend 36:19 Game Found Vs Kickstarter 48:38 AI in Board Games 1:22:22 Kickstarter's fee changes, religious-themed board games, Twitch promotion 1:44:46 Reflection on 2023 and Conclusion

In addition to that, we have generated over $100M in ecommerce sales and had clients featured on Shark Tank, ”As Seen On TV,” and more. We work with IP’s like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Star Trek, Mass Effect, Dune, and more... But we have also helped a TON of first-time creators fund on day 1, too! Our podcast exists to help you with your journey before, during, and after crowdfunding using real-world examples from our clients. We share what’s working and what is not in today’s market. We build pre-launch e-mail lists, get backers during live campaigns, and drive pre-orders and e-commerce sales after your campaign ends! If you’re DIY marketing (doing it yourself), we created the Crowdfunding Nerds Academy to help, which has specialized courses designed to make sure you’re doing it right! Buckle up; it’s about to get nerdy.
