Once logged in, you’ll be guided through a short form to set up your project. All details can be edited later. *** ### Project Basics #### Title Choose a clear, short title that explains what you’re building or raising funds for. #### Project Identifier This identifier is used for your project URL and your Nostr identity (NIP05) We recommend choosing something close to your project title so supporters can easily recognize it. *** #### Objective Write a one-line elevator pitch explaining: * What you’re raising funds for * Why it matters This should quickly motivate people to learn more. *** ### Images and Media #### Project Image This image appears across Geyser in project thumbnails.\ Use a square image, max 10MB. #### Header Image or Video This appears at the top of your project page and sets the tone. * Upload an image or paste a YouTube link * Best format: horizontal image (1:3 ratio) * Max size: 10MB *** ### Contact and Discovery #### Email Add an email address to receive project notifications.\ This will also be used if you sell products or offer rewards, so supporters can contact you privately. *** #### Project Links Add links to your website or relevant work to build trust.\ For social accounts, consider linking them to your Geyser profile instead so users can verify they belong to you. *** #### Tags and Region * Select up to 3 tags to help users discover your project * Choose one or more countries to appear on the project map *** ### Your Story The Story explains: * Why you created this project * Your vision and goals * How you plan to make it happen This is not the best place for regular updates. For ongoing updates, use **Entries**. To learn how to write a strong Story, see our step-by-step guide. *** ### Choose Your Funding Method On Geyser, you can raise funds in two ways: [Create an Open Fundraiser](/geyser-docs/product-guides/launch-a-project/create-an-open-fundraiser.md)or [Create an All-or-Nothing campaign](/geyser-docs/product-guides/launch-a-project/create-an-all-or-nothing-campaign.md) #### [Open Fundraisers (Take-it-all)](https://guide.geyser.fund/geyser-docs/product-features/launch-a-project/create-an-open-fundraiser) Best for flexibility and ongoing support. * Receive funds as contributions come in * No deadline or minimum goal * You keep everything you raise Choose this if any amount helps or your work is ongoing. *** #### [All-or-Nothing Campaign](https://guide.geyser.fund/geyser-docs/product-features/launch-a-project/create-an-all-or-nothing-campaign) Best when you need a guaranteed budget. * Set a funding goal and deadline (1–60 days) * Funds are released only if the goal is reached * Otherwise, contributors are refunded Choose this if the project cannot happen without full funding. *** ### Launch Mode Select your launch strategy based on how much marketing help you need.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://guide.geyser.fund/geyser-docs/product-guides/launch-a-project/step-by-step-how-to-create-a-project.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
