Know your numbers!

If you know your numbers, you'll know if your campaign will successful (or unsuccessful) before launching it. Or in another words, you need to have a big enough audience before shooting for a certain funding goal.

So, do the math, don't just trust your instinct.

And if you don't have the numbers, wait to launch till you have them.

Don't fall for the thousands of so called ''Digital Experts'' that approach you once you launch!

I'm not an expert by any means but getting the word out as much as possible >>>

Honestly, the biggest thing I’ve learned from my own campaigns is that you can't just launch and hope people find you; you really have to bring your own crowd to the party. I spent months building up a small email list and teasing the project on social media before I even hit "go." It felt like a lot of extra work at the time, but having that initial surge of backers on day one is what actually gets you noticed by the Kickstarter algorithm. If you aren't already at 30% of your goal within the first 48 hours, it’s a steep uphill battle, so focus all your energy on that pre-launch momentum.
