No More Deadlines! New Crowdfunding Site Abolishes the Dreaded Countdown Clock

Feb. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Are you an inventor or an up-and-coming artist? Do you hate deadlines? Well then, we know just the place for you. MeBlitz.com is a new crowdfunding website where deadlines do not exist. “Creative people need encouragement and support--not deadlines,” says Tad Black, creator of MeBlitz. “I know how hard it is to get the word out about a crowdfunding project. It takes time to grow a fan base.”

Crowdfunding, for those who are unfamiliar with the term, is the process of using the internet to raise funds for creative or artistic projects. Potential donors surf page after page of creative projects and support those they like. In return for their support, donors earn perks or gifts depending on the amount of money they give. Crowdfunding is a powerful way to raise money. There is a catch, however. Every creative project has an enforced deadline, usually 30 to 60 days. If the project does not reach its budget by the deadline, it forfeits all of the money it raised.

Crowdfunding is growing in popularity. Visual artists, writers, musicians, and movie makers use crowdfunding sites, everyday, to raise needed funds. Several websites boast of having upwards of 20,000 projects listed. Some projects raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. But such success is rare. “The websites hype their success stories. They sign people and then stack the projects on top of one another, hundreds of pages down. It's almost impossible to get noticed,” Black says. “And when the deadline approaches it makes it all the more a grueling experience to raise your funds.”

・ NO FAVORITISM! Each project will be guaranteed front page status
・ NO CLIQUES! Each project will be interviewed in a full length article
