This is done with the use of a video (in the majority of platforms) and a small description that accompanies it. <strong>The success of the campaign\u2019s video is leading to the success of the entire campaign.<\/strong> The language and content used in the video can make or break the campaign and thus influence the prospects of the entire business. Words matter: <strong>crowdfunding campaigns rely heavily on the written or spoken word<\/strong> to convey their message and create the personality of the campaign. Which language is then associated with successful campaigns?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anglin et al. in their research titled <em>\u201cChoose your words carefully: Harnessing the language of crowdfunding for success\u201d<\/em> (2022) provide some insights on <strong>key areas that have proven important in receiving funding<\/strong>. The first area discussed is a narrative phenomenon that has to do with the transmission of the personality of the entrepreneur through the video content. Showing some personal qualities or character traits can show some <strong>influential aspects of the entrepreneur\u2019s personality to backers<\/strong> and offer an avenue for the entrepreneur that allows for raw, unfiltered expression. In a rewards-based crowdfunding platform, the backers are not people who are seeking to hear professional investment narratives. The backers are usually people who seek to <strong>invest in a cause and a person they can relate with<\/strong>. Which personality language can thus influence best a crowdfunding performance?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best advice is to <strong>showcase the personality characteristics that are most authentic and truly reflective of one\u2019s self<\/strong>. Moreover, entrepreneurial characteristics are often associated with specific attitudes, such as positivity, since entrepreneurs are associated with an \u201cupbeat bunch\u201d &#8211; that of a resilient, hopeful, optimistic, and confident individual (Anglin et al., 2022). Further characteristics that are associated with an entrepreneurial personality are that of a charismatic person and a narcissist.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Narcissism might be problematic in the long run, yet expressing some narcissistic traits in the short term can show a competent individual that others will want to support and follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve that, use <strong>language<\/strong> that expresses a sense of authority, superiority, and self-sufficiency. At last, <strong>linguistic styles<\/strong> need to be taken into consideration. This refers to the types\/ style of words used to describe the different parts of the campaign, for example in describing the service or product offered. Some linguistic styles include the technique of \u201cbuilding excitement\u201d (e.g. amazing, awesome, etc.), words that ascribe \u201cautonomy\u201d (e.g. take control, take action, etc.), \u201cinclusiveness\u201d (e.g. community, help, etc.), and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above characteristics and linguistic styles can result in a successful campaign that <strong>spreads the message of the campaign<\/strong> loud and clear, cultivates excitement, respect, and admiration for the initiator, and sends out messages of inclusiveness, innovativeness, and autonomy.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Marisa Ferentinou, Synthesis Center for Research and Education Ltd (Cyprus) Date of publication: 04\/04\/2022 &nbsp; Crowdfunding platforms provide a tool to launch, promote and get funding from backers.
