I have been on this forum periodically looking for tips and ideas for our Kickstarter project. There have been so many helpful articles, links and comments. Thank you! This VIP offer is too good of a deal, I just had to sign up! As we get closer and closer to our launch, hopefully I can make the switch from word devourer to advice planter That's the goal anyway!

Cheers!

Awesome! Glad the forum is a helpful resource. Be sure to post back on this thread when you hit 50. You will automatically get the badge, but I won't be notified unless you post back here or send me a PM.

Hi Sal,
Just hit 50 posts. What do you need from me?

Definitely a great idea! I joined yesterday and I have a few ideas that I think you might find interesting. I'll PM you and tell you about them later if you'd like, but I'm definitely excited about becoming a VIP Member!

I am always looking for new ideas. Still pre-launching and getting my press releases in order. Looking forward to hearing more.

That's fair enough. I hope that you will be able to handle all the requests! I'll try and reach 50 non-spammy posts so I can submit my first project

@coolinvent - Okay next newsletter is going out later today or tomorrow. Will include you in it. Added your project to the queue to be tweeted out next on @kickstartforum, @crowdcrux, and @crowdfundingpr_. Backed you and shared on FB/personal twitter and left positive comment. Adding you as a sticky project and to sidebar momentarily. Will also email you ebook momentarily.

Thank you! Enjoy learning from this forum and like being involved.

Hi @sbruggman, is this promotion still going on?

Controversial

I think that the VIP status is an excellent idea for driving traffic through the forum and it will be great to be pinned on the side of the forum in 'Projects we Support' - however, as more and more people hit VIP status there will increasingly be a queue for that privilege.

There are 3 projects at the moment:-

Franken Edison Light - links to Tyni Wallets (Note to Sal)
Ma'mitons Fashion $4316 of a $50.000 goal
Adoption Centre for Guide Dog Billy $169 of a $26.000

I am not commenting on the quality of these project, but Ma'mitons is 45 days in length - is that slot going to be taken for 45 days by a project that doesn't reach 10% of target?

Guide Dog Billy hasn't reached 1% in 27 days - does that warrant taking up prime promotion space?

Maybe Sal neds to re-think the strategy here?

Every project gets an initial 7 day push - then the space is re-allocated - then maybe they get a push for the final 3 days of a project?

We have all heard about the kickstarter plateau in the middle of a project - so maybe push at start and end is the way to go?

And maybe the same should happen in the forum's - if this promotion continues to be successful the first page of the forum will be just pinned threads and that is a shame for those that actually trying to share the high and lows by writing blogs (i.e ME )

Just a thought,

Andy
