I was having a conversation with my friend Matt Bacon the other day, and it made me realize something: bands should not only be setting goals, but also telling their fans about some of those goals.
Why?
Because if fans are part of reaching your goal, they are part of your crew.
Essentially that is how Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Patreon, etc. all work – fans help you, and in return they become a member of the “insiders club”. Your insiders club's members are your biggest fans, and you should treat them like VIPs.
