SCcrowdfund.com Is Now Live

SCcrowdfund.com is an alternative for raising capital and meeting the rising demand for financing local business projects.  Communities that grow their own job-creating businesses are more sustainable economies that mirror their values of rewarding local entrepreneurship, creating a vibrant middle class and protecting the health of its residents and environment.

We Connected Productions, LLC has been selected as one of SC's first participants (and currently the only one in Columbia, SC) in the inaugural year of the program, and we are excited about the possibilities of the requested funds of $8500.  It will allow us to market and expand our video production services into additional local faith-based organizations and churches.  This will allow us to become sustainable in making a yearly profit and utilize a portion of our revenue to entirely fund a week-long local kids film camp at the Columbia Bethlehem Community Center currently held during student's Spring Break.

The crowdfunding site is now Live.  We need this first week to be "explosive" with support from the community and beyond, for as little as $10 up to $250.  Some of the perks of donating based on level of giving include a video thank you from the camp's past participants, a DVD copy of the kids completed film(s), and/or Producer credit.   

South Carolina is the first state to take on this type of crowdfunding initiative to support small businesses and a local non-profit. What is your initial reaction to this type of alternative funding?  Will you support it in your community?

Production/Consulting Services & Small Business/Corporate Sponsorship- Update

We've posted this topic a time or two before. WCP, LLC is a for-profit-business and not a hobby.  It's tax time, and more recently, we have been advised by a tax accountant that we will have to cease operation (or risk getting audited) if we don't start gaining revenue.  To do so we need sponsors and we must consistently charge our clients.  No more being in the red year after year. We must start operating in the black!!

Rates good through March 31, 2013. April 1, rates will increase.  Get on the ground floor of an enterprising production company TODAY!!
