Thomas Umstattd is a plugin and agency owner who’s has great success in crowdfunding his products. His take is a fantastically interesting one and he offers lots of great advice – so much that we even have a bonus over on Patreon. This is definitely one of my favorite conversations – I learned a ton here that I was able to immediately apply to my own crowdfunding efforts.

Hey everybody! And welcome to another episode of How I Built It, the podcast that asks, “How did you build that?” Today, my guest is Thomas Umstatdd. He’s a plugin and agency owner who’s has great success in crowdfunding his products. It’s a fantastically interesting take and he offers lots of great advice. This is definitely one of my favorite conversations – I learned a ton. Let’s talk about all of it after a word from our sponsors.
Sponsors: This season of How I Built It is brought to by two great sponsors. The first is Liquid Web.

Check out the rest of the features on their platform by visiting them at buildpodcast.net/liquid. That’s buildpodcast.net/liquid.

It’s an easy win that let’s you boost your client’s revenue by as much as 15% and it only t...
