Bootstrapping your business
04:22
Most businesses don't end up raising money, and for that reason they must do something called bootstrapping. Bootstrapping is simply a way to start and grow your business by finding ways to do that without needing much money or any money. This is what most businesses must do when they start.

Fundraising strategy with loans: Risky but possible & here is how
03:41
In this part of the fundraising course I give you ideas for how to raise money by getting loans, the difference between raising money from personal loans and business loans, and what options entrepreneurs typically have. It isn't easy to get a loan to start a business, but in some cases it makes sense and it is possible to get a small business loan.
Fundraising strategy 2: Many entrepreneurs ask about this, but find it difficult
02:17
Do you want to get a business grant? Many people ask about whether they can get a grant to start their business. It is more difficult to get a grant for businesses which have not started, but if you have started, there are a few grants available for small businesses. Check out this lecture to understand how to fund your business or project with a grant, or whether grants are not a good option for you. Grants are one of the common fundraising ideas, but they are not easy to get.

07:14
How to raise money by getting investors. There are many kinds of different investors. The different kinds of investors are angel investors, start-up incubators, seed investors, professional venture capitalists (VC) and investors who invest in specific kinds of businesses like maybe restaurants or real estate, or local businesses, or high growth start-up companies.
Fundraising strategy 4: Donations via crowdfunding
07:35
There are two ways to get donations for your business. There is the old fashioned way to get donations by reaching out do rich donors or philanthropists like many nonprofits do. And there is also a new way to get donations for your business called crowdfunding. You can raise donations for your business with crowdfunding by trying to raise money on KickStarter, IndieGoGo, or GoFundMe. It is now possible to get donations from the crowd online. It isn't easy to do crowdfunding, but it is possible.

Fundraising strategies 5 and 6: Generate money from your company's revenue
03:21
One of the best ways to fund your business is by doing it through the revenue of your own company. Instead of waiting for money to come from a different course, why not just earn the money from your own customers. It is, in fact, what I did with my business, and what I recommend doing to other entrepreneurs. Long-term, you will have to get the money to grow your business from your customers anyway so you might as well start to focus on making money from your customers sooner than later.
Fundraising strategy 7, 8, 9: Events/workshops, educational products & work
03:39
Events are a great way to get clients, extra revenue, build extra awareness, and build loyal fans. Basically, events are a great marketing strategy for most kinds of businesses. Events can range from small meetups that drum up community to educational workshops to large conferences. It all depends on the kind of business you have, your event promotion abilities, and your ultimate business goals.
Fundraising strategy 10: Lead-gen ideas that can earn you revenue & get clients
02:46
In this part of our fundraising course I explain an unusual fundraising idea which also works as lead generation to get actual customers for your business. In general, I prefer working on getting customers as early as possible in the lifecycle of your business. You will need to get customers eventually anyway, might as well learn how to raise money from your own revenue instead of waiting for a handout.

NEW: Sharing my own first experience talking to a real investor
04:09
In this part of the fundraising training, I share my own experience of raising money. I actually talk about the merits of bootstrapping my business, and how I built my business without raising money. It is, of course, difficult to start a business without raising money, but I put a lot of hard work into it, and ended up being successful without having an investment or a donation or anything else. I worked, saved money, then used that money to give my business a runway, hustled, and ended up making it happen for myself. I advise that you try this too.

Can Udemy courses get you a job?
Earning a skill is more valuable than earning a job these days. Skills are your most valuable asset. They can help you qualify for jobs you want and get promoted to more advanced positions within your organization. Unfortunately, it is difficult for many people to balance taking courses with work and family obligations. We have had many students, who have taken just Udemy courses, started a job as well as started freelancing with the skills they have learned.
