2013. Wattpad, the social network for aspiring writers, launches a crowdfunding feature

Wattpad is a social network for aspiring writers that is often described as "YouTube of writing", because of the way it allows amateur creators to share their work with the world and build a fan base around their writing. Now Wattpad has launched a crowdfunding feature similar to Kickstarter called “Fan Funding” that makes it easy for members to tap their fan base as a way of monetizing their work — and could also help the network monetize its own user base as well, since it charges a fee for the process. Fan Funding allows you to support your favorite writers in new ways by helping them achieve their dreams and getting rewards in return. In order to support a project, you choose the reward level that interests you most, with the amount of money you’d like to pledge. In order to support a project, you will need a valid credit card.
