2 friends and I have launched our campaigns within a week of each other. We have a Facebook private chat and I have to say it's been an amazing way to work! Find some friends, critique each other's projects, help promote (where relevent to your audience!), and of course the moral support. We've had a couple proper coffee day meetups and brainstormed, too. Wish I'd done my first campaign this way.

Oddly, it has also helped that our products are entirely different things. We're all artists and makers but totally different styles and audiences. So my friend Mel launched hers first and hit her goal in 2 days:
Doodle Bird Teatowels

Hers was slightly harder for me to pimp because my audience is very different, not quite girly/cute enough for her. But I tried to help.

I launched mine about a week later: for my book "Scenes of Art and Science"
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ti ... -for-a-new
Again, her audience isn't really sciencey as mine so the friends helped but we weren't relying on each other as much as just trying to bump up things like Facebook actually showing the posts on followers' feeds.

And now 3rd friend launched hers today, drawings of monsters:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dr ... e-monsters
Now even though my audience is VERY different from hers, I actually have a good angle on helping her with this one. I also have the art gallery (see my campaign! ) and am showing her work in an anatomy/monsters exhibition next year. So I can share her Kickstarter on my gallery's social media.

All in all, a great experience. And we've helped each other hone rewards, find spelling mistakes, or when we just plain outright skipped important information!

Guess my point is - see if you can find some 'crowdfunding buddies' to work together in real time. I'm going to do all my campaigns this way in future.

Thats Good Idea and easy to categorize your products in different categories. I will do that for my future campaigns too.
