Late last week we returned home from our trip to help take care of Robyn's dad. Our total travel time was 29 hours. That's hard on a body, but it's good to be home.
We learned a great deal on our first international trip. Perhaps we will share some of those lessons in future posts.
In our March 20 blog post we shared that our proposal was rejected by Kickstarter because they do not fund business startups. We researched other "crowdfunding" websites and read articles about them in the Wall Street Journal and other places and discovered Indiegogo.
We invite you to visit our business-funding proposal on Indiegogo to see our latest effort to raise money on the Internet for our American dream, the Arkansas Diamond Mine Adventure. It is similar to Kickstarter, but this website allows people to seek funding for business projects and just about anything else.
Would you go to our Indiegogo proposal page and consider making a $2 donation (we get about $1.48 of that)? We need our family and friends to "prime the pump," if you will, so that Indiegogo will give our proposal more visibility. The more people look at our proposal and make donations, the higher it goes on the Indiegogo website, eventually making it to their front page.
Keep in mind that even if you pledge $10,000, you will not be charged a penny unless we reach our total goal. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement, and thank you for considering making a donation.
