Is it possible to advertise my Kickstarter project through Reddit ads? Can the ad directly link to my Kickstarter campaign page?

I’d love to hear advice or tips from anyone who has experience doing this!

Hi everyone! Today we’re launching our very first Kickstarter project! What do you think of the page? Is there anything we might have missed? Thank you for your feedback!

When building an audience before launching a campaign, how do people tackle the risk of losing orders from those that don't convert later?

I'm thinking that, during the audience building phase, backers are keen and may pre-order on impulse. But the delay to launch may cause them to lose interest (or just not open emails).

If I only collect email addresses in pre-launch, it seems the loss could be great.

How do others capture their audience in pre-launch?

I have built a trading bot using python. It has been showing great results with my own small amount of money over the last year. I started out with 200$ and was able to get 50% increase in about 5 months. After that, I was able to invest some more. But it's not enough to get people's attention, so I could get to selling the bot or even let people pay a monthly fee tot use it. So I'm looking for someone to jumpstart me so I can start advertising with decent amount of profits in the next coming months.

I took a lot of feedback from reddit, and it was very informative! and we changed a few things, and we are ready for pre-launch Please give it a look and as always feedbacks are appreciated!

Receiving lot of newsletter spam from https://app.info.kickstarter-inventions.com and I do not have a kickstarter account and my perception is that this is spam. I already reported as not legit, but probably I'm wrong and still continue receiving them because my email is still in the kickstarter database and I don't know how to optout now that I do not have an account anymore. Happy to ear your suggestions!

Hello everyone,

My pre-launch campaign page currently has 92 followers. Do you think this is enough to proceed with the launch? Your insights and opinions are highly valuable to me. Thank you!

Hi all. I’m two thirds of the way through a Kickstarter campaign, and I’m curious what other creators’ pledge pie charts (as seen on the dashboard) look like.

Mine breaks down as: 37% pledged via Kickstarter 37% pledged via external referrers 25% pledged via custom referrers

This is my first campaign and I didn’t expect such a high % of pledges via Kickstarter. I thought I’d be relying solely on my established base for support.

Ofc, some of that 37% will come from anyone in my established base who decided to search for the campaign in the app rather than follow links I sent out. So that muddies the water somewhat. But looking at the breakdown of pledges in ‘backer source’, it still seems that the majority of that 37% came via Kickstarter itself.

Are these results typical?

I thought it might be useful (for any creator, not just me) to know the typical spread of pledges.

Thanks!

Have people used product / startup launch sites for promoting your Kickstarter campaign? And if so, at what timing?

Some famous product / startup launch sites:

• product hunt
• betalist
• betapage

Some of the lesser known ones.

• launchingnext
• microlaunch
• killerstartups
• startup ranking
• startup inspire
• starticorn

I'm wondering if it makes sense to do it now during prelaunch marketing or just as we launch the campaign.

Hello, trying to determine best reservation pricing for vip preorders. Wanted opinions on best pricing options:

-1$ vip reservation -100$ reservation -900$ reservation (50%)

The price point of my item is 1800. Planning on offering first 100 vip a free add on item as well.

Hoping to be ready to ship in ~6 months.

Looking for accounts that are legit and promote kickstarters other than board games (we make toys in Spanish, so quite niche). Looking for references from those who got results from such accounts. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm in the early stages of funnelling leads and building an audience to go live on Kickstarter in the next few weeks.

Do you have any expertise now that you wish you knew when you were going at it for the first time?

What do you think were real keys to your successes, or the pitfalls of less successful campaigns you've run?

Looking forward to discussing and learning more!

Backermany and backerspaces have approached me about a newsletter for my campaign. Their terms and conditions state that they need collaborator access for 30 days after the campaign ends

Are these services known to download backer data and add them to their newsletter services?

Hi,

We just finished a successful Kickstarter. Out of a hundred and thirty backers, about four or five supporters were from the EU. After investigating the import rules for the EU, which are only a couple of years old, I had to cancel pledges from the EU backers. The EU requires that you have an IOSS number, which you can only get from private companies that charge exorbitant amounts to set you up and then a monthly fee. My distributor would only ship to the EU with an IOSS number.

On top of that, you have to pay an import fee or make your backers pay the fee. I understand it's supposed to be simpler than every country having its own import system, but having private companies as the gatekeepers to this system is an epic fail. I'm not the only one who has encountered this issue. Some campaigns will not allow EU backers at all.

The good news is that I may have found a legal workaround. I'm in talks with a company in the EU that would act as a retailer. I would sell the goods to them at wholesale, and they would, in turn, sell the goods to EU backers. There is more work to be done on this, including possibly having a parallel EU crowdfunding campaign, but I wanted to share the problem with shipping to the EU and what might be a solution.

All the best!

Hi all,

I recently backed a project on Kickstarter which reached its goal. While scrolling through the FAQ portion I read that orders would be fulfilled through gamefound.

How do I link my kickstarter and gamefound accounts so that my order is properly fulfilled?

We launched our campaign 2 days ago and even before we went live I had a feeling that perhaps we hadn't done enough to build our community. I guess that's one of the reasons why our campaign is slow.

I'm wondering whether this is a good platform to build a fan base. Is it? Has anyone got any tips for me?

If anyone is interested in seeing my campaign, please holla.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I feel like vitality is the X factor that makes everything easier. Lately I have been creating several posts on Facebook that have been going viral for one of my business projects (a retreat in Nepal) and I'm wondering how can I replicate similar results for my upcoming Kickstarter campaign for my book.

Here's an example of one of these posts: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GT4YvCk7E/?mibextid=K35XfP (1,700 comments, 238 shares)

So far some of the factors I'm identifying for viral posts are:

1. Choose Facebook groups to post to that already have a high level of engagement (and of course match your target market so you get conversions)

2. Post excellent photos -- people are blown away by my photos of Nepal so that helps with getting shares and free engagement

3. Have a compelling / engaging story to share

What other things would you add, and if you have any, let's share examples. Hopefully we can all learn something so that we can replicate this effect for our crowdfunding campaigns.

Cheers 🥂
