Guys, I have recently discovered a wonderful idea on the internet, under the name of KICKSTARTER
What's the deal with it and your possible projects? Well, all in a nutshell, here's how it works: 1) You have a project which can be a video for you band, an album you want to record for instance (although they cover many fields, aside from music and arts in general) 2) You register as a member and expose your project on the site (all necessary details and the sum of money needed to finalize it) 3) People who like your project, can offer money so that you may gather your necessary sum, step by step 4) In return, you may offer them something such as a copy of your album, signed when it's ready, for instance The downside is, it only works for people living in the USA  bummer on this one, but still, all you guys in the USA dreaming about getting something done, can check it out and who knows  I think it's a very useful tool, don't you?
