Kickstarter-like model? This has been shown to work.
Donate and get your name in the credits, get included in the production process, get a vote, etc., or some other perks.
- jiggy2011 14y agoKickstarter is also a pre-order system. People who donate to kickstarter will do so at least partly to get a copy of whatever at a (possibly) reduced cost. The costs of kickstarter pre-orders are also partly dictated by the market value of other similar products, $20 for an indie game or whatever. Under this system that incentive goes away since there will be no personal advantage in making the lower end pledges especially since the perceived cost is now free. I'm sure someone will jump on and say "but I will do it just to support the project!" , congratulations but you are probably in a minority.
