Raise Money for Your Music
 As a Musician, one of the challenges you face is how to raise money. Don’t cross your fingers and wait for someone to grant you permission to be successful!
If you’re looking to raise money for your music, set up a crowdfunding campaign. This allows you to test your concept from day one. If successful, crowdfunding also allows you to find people who may be most interested in your music.
In addition to providing you with funding, you’re joining a creative community that will help you spread your project by word of mouth.
Micro Giving makes it possible for people to channel their passions, projects, talents, ideas or dreams.
