Are you creating an email marketing campaign using AWeber? Would you like to add Crowdfunding capabilities, and campaigns to your emails? This tutorial will show you how you can quickly add a fully white labeled Crowdfunding campaign to your emails.
This article is part of the blog series for adding Crowdfunding features on your emails. You can learn about using other email marketing tools for your Crowdfunding campaign such as MailChimp, MailerLite and ConstantContact.
The solution described in this blog article can be used for any rewards/pre-order, or donations based Crowdfunding campaigns and paradigms. It is great for running a single campaign, or multiple campaigns on emails for any type of email campaign using white label technology such as Atlas. To gain the capabilities to add a Crowdfunding link, you may want to subscribe to an Atlas subscription plan if you want a fully white labelled campaign. For those who are interested in running a single campaign for free, you can use the Reach Crowdfunding platform.
Note: when using the Atlas white label technology you will have to setup, and configure your Crowdfunding site to be accepting donations before you create a campaign. You can learn how to quickly setup the platform by reading Thrinacia Atlas Standalone Web UI Quick Setup
