34. Kickstarter (Part 34 of 34)

“You want to do a Kickstarter?” Matthew asks.

“Yeah, why not?” Stan replies. “I think it would be a great way to raise money for the show and invite people to help us.”

“Do you know how hard it is?” Jared interjects. “We’ve done a few, and they can be brutal.”

Stan, Matthew, and Jared sit around their makeshift conference table, weighing their options. As the breadth of the show has grown, so have the expenses.

“You have to beg your friends and family for 30 days straight,” Matthew says.

“Not to mention the number of posts you need to make, just to remind people to pledge,” Jared adds. “People tune you out at the end.”

“But there are a lot of things we want to do, and we are gonna need funds to do them– such as plane tickets and accommodations for high-profile authors. Kickstarter gets us the resources we need,” replies Stan. “We can’t keep paying for everything ourselves, right?”

“You think we can get enough support?” Matthew asks.

“I think so,” Stan confirms.

(The Kickstarter was a success, THE END.)
