I heard about Kickstarter from last year when the first time I heard about "crowdfunding", I do a research and find out about it. I think Kickstarter is a good place for beginner entrepreneur like me that like to design and create a simple product for people to try.
Funny story, I heard about crowdfunding 3 months ago. My first Kickstarter is in my signature. How I heard about it was after I had wrote the screenplay for my film I said to myself... "Well, how is this gonna work", then I thought about selling it, but I wanted to do this with my own team, so I did research on how get money. Then "BAM!" Kickstarter was the first thing that showed up.
I'm a writer. The first project I ever read about on Kickstarter was a book launch. I've just launched my very first campaign but it's not only for me. My goal is to raise funds to create safe and natural skin care sets to people fighting cancer. www.nutriscents.ca is my website to find out more
I first heard about Kickstarter when my singer-songwriter friend asked me to help her write and produce music for her debut album - it's hard to believe that we're already raising money for the second album, five years later!
I have a load of friends who are always looking for new and interesting projects to back and so my facebook is full of their sharing projects and is a great way for me to find out about new things I may have missed. It's always great seeing the ideas people have coming to fruition
