As some of you now, I run the blog CrowdCrux. I wanted to use this post to shed some light on other Kickstarter bloggers.
SquatchKick
This blog was recently started by a forum member (Charles).
"This blog site has come about from me discovering a desire deep within me to delve into the realm of the Kickstarter - not as a creator of Kickstarter projects so much as from the perspective of the backer side of things.
That's not to say that I will never try and use Kickstarter to fund a project of my own with, but for now, at least, what I post here on this blog will come from the backer bleachers.
The blog will double as sort of an ongoing documentary of my explorations of various Kickstarter projects that I encounter, and as a repository of advice and analysis of the same."
Kicktops
This blog is also newer and the creators have done posts on crowdcrux like "Top 10 Kickstarter Projects That Were Funded in 5 Days or Less"
The team is dedicated and they highlight interesting Kickstarter projects.
Kickstarter Conversations
James Yee started this blog where he interviews Kickstarter creators for success tips (similar to what I do!). It doesn't seem like he's posted for a month now, but his archives have some good tips.
CrowdDistrict
These guys also haven't posted in a month or so, but they showcase Kickstarter projects and
do crowdfunding news.
For a full list of bloggers and news sites, check out: Crowdfunding Press List.
KickstartYourJourney
This blog was started by Karl Steinmeyer. He hasn't posted in a little while, but his archives yield some good tips.
My Thoughts
Now that I've been doing this for almost two years, I've noticed that you tend to see sites come and go in the industry (which is kind of frustrating). For example, CrowdfundingEye is another blogger that I linked to in the past on CrowdCrux, but now they haven't made a post in 6 months or so. Guess we'll see where the industry heads.
As a project creator, I encourage you to start your own blog and share your experiences with Kickstarter (which can transition into a blog about what it's like to be a creator in general in your space, whether that's comics or music). You can also share your experiences on this forum.
If you're running a blog on the side of your Kickstarter campaign, let me know via a reply below. Would love to check it out. I also link to individual posts frequently. For example, I think this post "Low Cost Rewards, Big Crowdfunding Impact!" on Patty Lennon's blog is helpful and "Kickstarter Fulfillment With Amazon: Saving Hundreds of Hours, Thousands of Dollars, and a Million Headaches" via ComixTrib
