I’ve created something unique- and I mean never seen before unique with a large target audience and high profit margins.

The caveat is that I am an engineer, not an expert on marketing & social media…

What’s the best way for me to push forward on this?

Today, I launched my first Kickststarter for a TV show called HIDDEN MIDDLE.

In the weeks since we've been prepping this campaign, we've struggled with the advice because of what it says about using a pre-launch campaign to build an audience. In my case, I have an audience that's 135,000 followers strong.

Nonetheless, I'm feeling a bit of imposter syndrome and looking for examples of other influencers who have converted their followings into a successful Kickstarter. Does this exist?

Hello,

I've ran several successful Kickstarters in past years. Now I wanted to try some small physical rewards. However I don't want to have all the shipping myself. What services you recommend? Are there any websites that lets you design custom stuff (like postcards, posters, stickers and other small stuff) and then ship directly to customers by uploading a csv?

I would like to try offering some physical rewards (all my previous KS were digital only) but I don't want to waste a lot of time on shipping. Thanks

And don’t always listen to naysayers. When I first launched my campaign, a few folks on here told me there was no hope for it. That after looking at the numbers that first week, it wouldn’t reach its goal and I was better off canceling.

Happy to say after weeks of promoting, and doing everything I could to get the word out, I’ve reached well OVER my goal.

Please do not let folks discourage you. And please utilize social media as best as you can. A big chunck of my pledges came from me getting the word out on TIKTOK of all places. I paid for ads on FB which did nothing. It was really Twitter, Instagram and TikTok that helped me make that push.

Is there anything i can do like any paid service ?

I have already launched my game development program on Kickstarter but finding hard to get backers for it, the campaign will end on 20th December.. can anyone suggest me a way to get more backers?

My first project will be a completely organic, handmade body scrub sponge, crafted by women from the eastern region. It will be sustainable, hygienic, and entirely handmade. The designs will have a cute and appealing look.

Why a body scrub sponge? During my travels and relationships across the world, one thing that stood out was the awful plastic body sponges I saw in the bathrooms of my foreign girlfriends. They’re harmful, definite breeding grounds for bacteria, prone to falling apart after a few uses, and far from sustainable.

What are your thoughts? I’m also open to strategic advice. Thank you in advance!

We are about to publish our first childrens book and are launching our campaign in the first week of Jan. Me and my co author are trying all ways to get backers, the usual social media posts, reaching out to mom influencers and talking about our book and asking them to collaborate etc. But we have not really succeeded in getting any backers.

Im curious what other ways are there to break the barrier and reach out to individuals to get backers ?

Hi I was wondering how to make a Quickstarter campaign. Is there a specific option for it or do you just have to fit the requirements in your campaign name, target and rewards? Thanks.

Hello. I'm looking to launch my campaign in the new year. I still need some good product photography but hoping this community can roast my website and share any additional insight into how to market this. So far I'm sharing in houseplant communities and messaging influencers for feedback.

Hi, everyone!

We currently make Peelaways disposable fitted sheets that are completely waterproof and have sizes that fit all sizes from Crib to King. We used to get a lot of feedback from our customers saying it's bad for the environment as it's disposable and would fill the land, and we agree, and have always been looking out for a solution, and my Founder finally found one - reusable Peelaways.

Would love to know your feedback and if this is something that would work on Kickstarter. We're looking to raise $50K for the production run, which is the minimum amount required to start the product of this line.

The way the product works is, when you have an incontinence/night time accident on the bed, you can peel off the top layer in seconds, revealing a brand new sheet, and the sheet that got dirty can be washed and used again. Attaching a photo of it for better understanding.

Would appreciate all feedback, and if you think we'd be able to raise $50k for this product on Kickstarter.

Thanks!

Was recently moved into the HOme Stretch section of kickstarter. Has anyone had this happen and has it helped with visibility and pledges?

Hi everyone! I'm planning to start a music label and am exploring crowdfunding as a way to raise funds. However, I don't have a strong online following or an active presence on social media. For those of you who’ve had successful crowdfunding campaigns, how did you manage to raise funds? What strategies did you use to reach potential backers and create a successful campaign, even without an established fanbase? Any tips or advice for someone in my situation would be really appreciated!

Hi, I am launching a Kickstarter campaign for a simple wall hook at the end of January. I was wondering when I should get the project approved by Kickstarter so I can have a project preview page. If anyone has any insight that would be very helpful!

Greetings,

I'm applying to a job at a startup in NZ, and they are requiring me my Kickstarter ID.

Since i never used it, i just made an account, but i can't seem to find the ID of it.

Do you guys know how to find?

I just got the Project We Love on KS. Based on what I have read here, it is only as useful as how you milk it.

So far, I have updated my thumbnail and have plans to include this on the newsletter of people who decided to follow me to receive updates.

What's next? Do I use this to change up all my Meta ads? This involved me stopping the current ads and changing it out with these, so not sure if it carries that much weight.

What else can I do to make the best of this situation? TYIA

We are about to not get funded…advice on trying again?

Our campaign is over in 7 days and we probably won’t get funded (we are at about 65%}. How long did everyone wait to try again? What did you do differently the second time if you succeeded? We spent so much money on meta ads and had a good list too 😕

There's a game I saw an ad on YouTube for around 2016-2019. I posted about it here but got no hints or traction. Internet Archive shows a very small slice of projects month by month and I haven't been able to find it. It would mean a lot if I could get any new info. Is there a way to see every campaign- funded, cancelled, and ongoing- by the year it was started? This would massively narrow it down. Thank you!

I have been working within the hospitality industry for 15 years from entry level to bar management and I've always been fascinated with mixology but, I've always wondered, why do cocktails have such a low quality factor when it comes to buying them from a store? 

I wish to change that.

With my previous background as a freelance graphic designer I wish to blend the worlds of mixology and graphic design to create not only delicious tasting cocktails but a marketable brand that people can stand by.

Why am I launching this campaign?

My dream would be to sell NuKu products worldwide sharing my love and fascination with mixology and design. The funds raised will allow us to:

• Get NuKu off the ground. The first investment for any company is one of the most important and so many businesses fail because they haven't financed correctly.
• Expand the NuKu product line, launching new and exciting flavours. We would also like to branch into mocktails for those that do not wish to consume alcohol.
• Grow a community, I would love to document this whole process so we can watch and experience this growth together.
• I wish to have a product that can be trusted with every cocktail that is made being of the same high quality and calibre that you would expect from a top tier mixologist without the price tag.

I genuinely believe that the price of a store bought cocktail doesn't have to be astronomical in order for it to be delicious but I need your help in order to make this a reality.

So how much people is willing to spend?

if i want lets say sell a pdf, would 10 usd make sense? or people who backs KS find that to be cheap and are willing to put more money?

im assuming people who backs products have money and dont mind to spend it. So im trying to find the minimu, I was thinking 14 usd but Im worried im charging too little.

Please give me some suggestions. Thank you.

Just like last year, we are trying to raise a nice amount to help the people of the war in Ukraine with mobile heaters, generators and (wood) stoves. Last year we raised around 20,000 dollars for this and we hope that this year will be a success as well.Many residents of Ukraine are facing another harsh winter.

Let us express our support and help them with heat and energy.With sufficient purchases, the mobile heaters cost around 50 dollars each, the generators around 300 dollars each and the (wood) stoves around 200 dollars each.

Thank you in advance for your support! When the donations are running and there is progress to report, we will of course let you know here.
