I've learned (from failing several times on Kickstarter) to always have a selection of people ready to back you straight away. For some reason the projects that are immediately popular become more successful.

It˙s important to find places where you can promote your project without paying any kind of marketing (if you have limited resources). We thought that most important thing is good idea, but it´s all about marketing. We don´t have money for that, only great idea which we want to be seen.

It's hard. So hard! But it'll be worth it, too!

I'm only a week into my campaign and I'm learning that a great opening day can be followed quickly by a downward-slide! This isn't unexpected, but I need to keep an even keel and not be discouraged by the downs that follow the ups. Either way, the necessity of planning a KS campaign has led me to make some great social connections - something that would have taken much longer without the immediate timeline involved. Regardless of the outcome, a happy network is in the making and it feels pretty good.

Hi, I am new on Kickstarter. I come from Germany. I have learned, that I should keep in touch with as many people as possible. That allows the building of mutual trust.

Some great tips here! Especially those from @sbriggman @crowdcrux


To me the most important factor comes back to the 1st tip:

It's important to have a strong following of passionate supporters long before you start a campaign.

That requires a huge amount of work we didn't anticipate.. hehe

From what Ive seen:

1. Have a large following on Facebook & Instagram
2. Have many different tiers of products as rewards (the more the better)
3. Be willing to spend on advertising
4. Try to reach the media

How would you up your conversion rates?
