On of my client project surpassed 100% of our Kickstarter goal! Check out the campaign here:http://kck.st/3Quid8X
Sending smiles,

So far it has been positive! This is my first kickstarter so fingers crossed that I will be successful. If you would like to check out my DND book kickstarter page -> http://kck.st/4eky6Jv
You Rock!

So far it's been great. We had a small customer based eager for our next game so and we didn't need a lot of money so we kept the funding goal low to avoid disappointment. But it's such a buzz to see it unfold from this side. I've backed over 50 campaigns but this is the first creating it for Escape Envelope. We are nearly 200% funded after 2 days

Positive! While I haven't gotten a fully funded campaign yet, I've learned a lot. Also, the people who back campaigns on KS are usually pretty nice people IME.

Hi everyone,

Nick van Ommeren here from Artizta.audio. I saw two interesting questions pop up!

• What has been frustrating?
After launching, I received over 50 emails from companies eager to collaborate with us (e.g., “pay $499 now and earn a 20% commission”). Honestly, I have no idea if these companies actually help. The sheer volume makes it hard to choose. Has anyone here had good experiences with these kinds of offers? One example is the promise of exposure to 100K email subscribers. I’m curious how others approach this.
• What tools or websites do you recommend (besides this one haha)?
I took matters into my own hands and signed up with Kickbooster.me for an affiliate program. It’s a portal that allows me to manage partnerships. Without having to pay that $499 upfront, 11 companies have signed up for a 15% commission per order, and this has already generated over $3,000. I highly recommend it—everything is in one place, no upfront costs, and both I and the ‘brand ambassador’ know exactly what to expect. https://ferro-hi-fi-360-speaker-amplify ... -hi-fi-360

We’ve been live on Kickstarter for a week now and are fully engaged. I’d love to hear from someone who can take a critical look at our page. All feedback is more than welcome.

Best regards,

So far rather negative. We have put a lot of effort into describing the kickstarter page and finding innovative rewards. We think we have done a good job and have put together four videos, two are published and two are still to come - make it more exciting. So far so good. Now we have launched our film project Terramutola on kickstarter and it seems that many people don't want to sign up. According to friends, they don't want to or it's too complicated....
But what is more of a disadvantage is that some people write to you on kickstarter to help you promote your company, which seems to me to be a scam. Have you had any experience of this?

I joined a company that is launching its first crowdfunding project, but the progress has been disappointing. The main issue lies in the fact that the product is not yet fully developed, and its features are incomplete. We initially planned to officially launch in January 2025, but it was postponed to February and has now been delayed to March. I’m starting to worry that this project may face significant challenges to succeed.

I’m starting week 2 of my second Kickstarter for a music project.

I recall the first one being exceptionally exhausting and I dreaded having to do it again but grant systems in Canada have been shifting at the worst time for me, so here we are.

This time around I have more followers, more social media and email network savvy, and proof of capability on my side.

This time I realized that it’s not the actual stuff backers want, it’s me I’m selling, so I decided to go straight in with a Pixar Pitch and grab people with an emotional connection to me and my plan.

I’ve set the first goal fairly low compared to what it all actually costs to do, as my network is still fairly small.

I have fun socials planned, I’m keeping in touch with backers, and am connecting with people as genuinely as I can.

I still didn’t want to be doing this but I know that this will function as an awareness campaign too.

Ignore them all, total scam artists!!

I’m sorry you’re having hard time. Maybe the description is confusing or you’re not reaching out directly enough? You can’t rely on the platform for discovery. It’s really a lot of hard work – I feel all of this!

It's been a mix of both positive and negative, with the positive outweighing the negative. I like the ease of creating your campaign. Additionally, I am pleased with the results I have received so far. The only negative experience for me is receiving fake emails from individuals pretending to be successful Kickstarter backers. They praise you for your campaign, but don't even bother to support you. Instead, they use the moment to try to get you to pay for their services.
