How to Launch Your Campaign on Backr: A Step-by-Step Guide


So you have a bold creative vision and you're ready to share it with the world. Backr was built specifically to help African creators turn their project ideas into reality through transparent, community-driven funding.


Our launch process is designed to be lean, professional, and built on trust. Here is exactly how to go from Idea to Live in three simple steps.


Step 1: Define Your Vision

The first step is about clarity. You'll need to provide:

  • A Catchy Title: Something that immediately communicates what you're building.
  • Category Selection: Whether it's Film, Music, Art, or Tech, choose the category that fits best.
  • Project Description: This is where you sell your dream. You must provide at least 100 characters describing exactly what the funds will be used for. Be specific—transparency starts here.

    • Step 2: Set Your Goal & Timeline

    Backr projects are goal-oriented.

  • Funding Goal: Set a realistic amount in Naira (₦) that vous need to complete the project. Remember, being transparent about your costs makes backers more likely to support you.
  • Project Deadline: How long will your campaign run? Most successful campaigns run for 30 to 45 days.

    • Step 3: Visual Identity

    A picture is worth a thousand backers.

  • Cover Image: Upload a high-quality cover image (Max size: 1MB) that represents your project.
  • Impact: Campaigns with original, clear photography or design usually reach their goals 3x faster than those without.

    • Launching

    Once you've filled original details, hit "Launch Project". Your campaign will go live immediately, and you can start sharing your unique link with your audience.


    Welcome to the future of African creativity. Let's get backed!
