On my direnzo campaign, half of the backers come from the kickstarter search engine itself! Amazing!

Hey buddy. I contacted you through pm to no replies. Can you double check please?

Great read. I agree about setting funding goals. I wanted to set it higher because I wanted to make the project perfect and right, but looking at it now, I maybe could've cut it down a bit more so the project could actually be fully funded!

Thanks for your insights! I'm struggling my ass off here I've been in huge films with a 10k fan email list and 750k social media followers and only 130 donations in 15 days lol!

Thanks so much for sharing this! Very insightful!

I recently launched my project 3 days ago. It's been a slow start, so of course I have my reservations, especially after doing everything I thought was right! I've been building a social media presence, sending outreach emails... It's all very daunting and sometimes doesn't seem to pay off. I have my fingers crossed it'll pick up.

Great advice!!
As a couple of first time Kickstarters, it is helpful to read a story of both failure and success!
Thanks!

I couldn't agree more with all your points!

This what they don't tell you when doing your research before launching your own Kickstarter campaign.

1. Determine your funding GOALS and REQUIREMENTS.

2. Start building your social media presence 2-4 weeks ago.

3. Completely setup Google Analytics before you start your campaign.

4. Once you start your campaign, brace yourself for the onslaught of people claiming to do any sort of PR for money

5. Track your damn conversion rate - if something isn't working. Stop throwing money at it.

All good advice, in my experience. Thank you for sharing it.
