Project Support Guide
Everything you need to know about launching, managing, and supporting projects on Lootyo. Whether you are a creator with a big idea or a fan who wants to help, this guide has you covered.
What is Project Support?
Project Support is Lootyo's feature that lets creators rally their community behind a specific goal or idea. Think of it as a way to fund your most ambitious projects with the direct backing of the people who care about your work.
Whether you want to produce a new video series, upgrade your equipment, launch a creative project, or fund an event, Project Support gives you the tools to set a goal, describe your vision, offer rewards, and track your progress in real time.
Supporters can browse active projects, contribute at various reward tiers, and follow along as the project comes to life. It is a win-win: creators get the funding they need, and supporters get to be part of something meaningful.
Fund Your Vision
Community-backed projects
How to Launch a Project
Follow these steps to create a compelling project that attracts supporters and reaches its funding goal.
Define Your Project
Write a compelling title and description that clearly explains what you want to create, why it matters, and what supporters will get. Include images or mockups if you have them.
Set Your Funding Goal
Choose a realistic funding target. Be transparent about how the funds will be used. Break down costs so supporters understand where their money goes.
Create Reward Tiers
Offer rewards at different contribution levels to incentivize support. Think about what you can offer: early access, exclusive content, shout-outs, or physical merchandise.
Promote & Share
Share your project with your audience across social media, streams, and newsletters. The first 48 hours are critical, so build momentum early.
Track & Update
Keep your supporters informed with regular updates. Post progress reports, share milestones, and celebrate when you hit your goal.
How to Support a Project
Supporting a project is simple and rewarding. Here is how to make your contribution count.
Browse Projects
Explore active projects from creators you follow or discover new ones on the campaigns page. Each project shows its goal, progress, and available rewards.
Choose Your Contribution
Select a reward tier or enter a custom amount. You can see exactly what you will receive at each level before contributing.
Track Progress
Follow along as the project progresses. Receive updates from the creator and see how your contribution is helping bring the project to life.
Tips for a Successful Project
Based on insights from the most successful projects on Lootyo, here are the strategies that make a real difference.
Tell a Story
People connect with stories, not pitches. Share your vision, your motivation, and what this project means to you personally.
Set a Realistic Goal
It is better to exceed a modest goal than to fall short of an ambitious one. You can always set stretch goals after reaching your initial target.
Engage Your Community
Your existing audience is your greatest asset. Talk about your project on streams, in videos, and on social media. Personal outreach goes a long way.
Launch Strong
The first few days matter most. Have content ready to share, line up supporters who will contribute early, and create a sense of urgency and excitement.
Project Support FAQ
What happens if a project does not reach its funding goal?+
Projects on Lootyo use a flexible funding model. Creators receive all contributions regardless of whether the full goal is met. This ensures that every supporter's contribution makes a difference, and creators can still put the funds toward their project even if the full target is not reached.
Can I contribute to a project without selecting a reward tier?+
Yes, you can contribute any custom amount without selecting a specific reward tier. This is a great option if you simply want to support the creator without expecting anything in return.
How are project funds distributed to creators?+
Contributions are added to the creator's Lootyo wallet balance as they come in. Creators can withdraw their earnings at any time through the standard withdrawal process. There is no waiting period until the project ends.
Can I run multiple projects at the same time?+
Yes, creators can have multiple active projects simultaneously. However, we recommend focusing on one project at a time to give each campaign the attention it deserves and avoid splitting your audience's support.
