If you spent 2020 worrying that too much of your business strategy is tied to one or two revenue streams, then you are not alone. Each year the Federation of International Periodical Publishers releases its media trends report, and revenue and content diversification (events, licensing, paywalls) scores high with companies who are not just surviving, but thriving.

In part one of AMPA’s Alternative Revenue Bootcamp, Matthew Stepanic takes you through how to successfully run a crowdfunding campaign to create new business and grow your audience.
