Hey RiboBlast! Welcome to the forum!
Crowdfunding creators can definitely be successful without spending a cent on advertising & promotion, but the substitute for spending money on your campaign, is spending time on your campaign. Your campaign has a goal of $60,000 CAD which is quite a high set goal. To reach your goal you will need to remove the campaign from Indiegogo, begin preparing (and this process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years), then re-launch when you are ready. In saying this, having some sort of advertising budget will help to speed up the preparation process so you can be ready to launch sooner.
TL;DR: You can be successful with crowdfunding without spending any money, but you will need alot more time to prepare for your campaign's launch.
If you are interested, I can provide you with some consultation to get you going on the right track with your campaign. I am happy to help out and it will not cost you anything. Just send me through a message via my website and I will get back to you within 24 hours (a link to the website can be found in my signature below).
All the best with RiboBlast!
Best Regards,
Jake
