“Find Your Supporters Through Funding” is a wadiz campaign designed to help you launch your own challenge and connect with “supporters” who will cheer you on.From a simple hobby like showing offyour knittingskills to a teenager’s brilliant idea for changing society, everyone has at least one “thing they want to do” tucked away in their heart.

Come find your “supporters” on wadiz today—the people who will cheer you on as you take your first step.

05. FAQs You Must Check Before Participating in a Campaign
Q. Can individuals launch a funding campaign on wadiz?
A. Yes, they can. As long as there’s “a reason for people to participate,” anyone can launch funding. In fact, wadiz hosts a wide variety of funding campaigns, ranging from movies and performances to classes, Community initiatives, social causes, travel, and even pet birthday parties.
Q. Do only celebrities, influencers, or people with a fanbase succeed in funding?
A. No. Makers who share a story that resonates with supporters and demonstrate genuine passion can gain sufficient attention and succeed, even more so than those who start with a large fan base.
Q. Do I have to pay the platform fee even if I don’t reach my funding goal?
A. No. If the goal is not met, no payment is processed, and the maker is not charged any additional fees, so you can give it a try without any pressure.
Q. Do funding rewards have to be physical products?
A. They don’t have to be physical items. “Experiences available only here”—such as exclusive previews, behind-the-scenes glimpses of the production process, limited-edition packages, name credits, or behind-the-scenes stories—also make great Rewards.
Q. Do rewards have to be completely new and original?
A. No, that’s not necessary. What matters isn’t novelty, but rather “offers available only on wadiz,” so familiar approaches like exclusive previews, limited-edition packages, and behind-the-scenes glimpses are perfectly acceptable.
Q. How do I cover initial production and sample costs?
A. wadiz offers an “advance payment service.” This allows you to secure a portion of the funds before shipping the Rewards, which can be effectively used to cover initial production costs.
