How can I make it better & reach more people? All the articles say use the momentum of the launch which I have none of (lol) Everyone I reached out to prior to launching seem super excited but haven't shared or supported it (super disappointing). I get it's only been three days, but i've already reached out to my network & I am getting worried. I could use all the help I can get so please send me your thoughts...Oh & if im just freaking out for no reason by all means please tell me

Publishing projects tend to draw most of their funds from the social network of the individual launching the crowdfunding campaign (and 2nd degree connections and the local network of the creator). They don't take off as much in the way that technology projects do. See: http://www.crowdcrux.com/crowdfunding-t ... s-podcast/

Yeah, I think you need to specifically ask people to pledge to the campaign. It's kind of intimidating, but you can underscore the rewards, the temporal nature of the project, and that it's all-or-nothing.

Thanks for your advice, I need all the help I can get. Asking people directly is something I have been struggling with but I think I'm getting better at it. I'll be sure to look into using the press release, super helpful!

This post has been moved to the Kickstarter and Crowdfunding Questions Only (Strict) section.

Try going down the Facebook/Twitter route. Asking people advice there, with a link to your project. If they help, thank them and still add your link to the post each time. Should get you noticed!
