My first successful kickstarter was Unloved Chairs and my current one is Skulls which is photography of animal skulls, but given a retro twist through computer manipulation. It is at 119% with two weeks to go...... but i have sort of hit the kickstarter wall at the moment.

Please can you give some feedback on maybe how to push it further. I am aiming for the second incentive that is people will get their names in the acknowledgment section, which i thought people would have jumped at the chance in case i got famous or anything.

That's great you met your goal, I was the one suggesting the changes before so I'm happy you went along with a redesign/rethought.

It depends on who you connected with already? If no one responded to your "pitch" you might have to rethink it. What's worked for you so far?

Hi again,

Its a very niche market, so I am basically word of mouthing it around social media. Which seems to be working. This happened last time with my Unloved Chairs Zine... hopefully the wall will be broken and more pledges will come in on the final week. :)

Hey Mate, Congratulations on being successfully funded! Are you still working on promotion for the campaign over the next 11 days? What's the plan from now until the campaign ends? Do you have any more specific crowdfunding/campaign questions that I can assist you with? Cheers!


Best Regards,

Jake
Team Backertree!

Very nice and congratulations on being selected by Kickstarter staff. My only suggestion: a few higher rewards. What is someone wants to pledge £500? You are only letting them top out at £60. You may want to add a 150, 350 and 500 level. Existing backers may upgrade. I have received individual pledges on photo rewards in excess of £1,000 so don't limit your imagination!
