Kickstarter, Emphas.is are  funding platforms for artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists and photographers that are reaching a select and literate audience that is interested in contributing to projects that they see as worthwhile. A new kid on the block is Crowd Books whose aim is to set up a community  to allow photographers – looking to publish and edit their projects – to connect with Internet users wishing to financially support photographers and artists. The projects are funded by what is called “participative financing” – or “crowd-funding” -, a funding method already used in the music and film industry among others. When the necessary financing for the project is reached, CROWDBOOKS commits itself to finalize and to commercialize the project by putting it on sale on the CROWDBOOKS website and eventually through other selling points discretionarily chosen by CROWDBOOKS.
Benefits to the project contributors will be dependent on the dollar amount funded, with different contributions equaling a different level of benefit. In general order, the benefits are as follows:
A copy of the book for which you participated in the funding
A copy of the book + a print
A limited edition copy of the book + a deluxe box
