First and foremost, congrats on 3 successful Kickstarter Campaigns. That's really awesome, and thanks for being here on the forums to help out the rest of us.
With that out of the way, I'd love it if you could take a look over my Kickstarter campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/10 ... ini-series
I'd love to know what kind of feedback you might have to help create more interest in the project and get more backers out there. I'm not too upset with the turn-out thus far, but I have a feeling that the numbers are going to dwindle at the pace it's taking, and I could definitely use a second opinion.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Thanks for your kind words Alex. I'll do my best to try to give you some insight from my end. I hope it will help you. Firstly, you have a low goal. Certainly you have family and friends that have known you and your passion for drawing forever that you can reach out to. It should be attainable for the $2300 you are looking to fund.
Beyond your circle of family and friends, I have to say, your closing graphic, "Support us on Kickstarter" - says it all. I don't know who you are. I see no connected Facebook, I see a bio that lists a company, but only your name. It looks like there is no "us" but only you, and you haven't shown yourself in words, in pictures, in your Facebook connections. There is no creator credibility here, and no empathetic story of how you need this to happen to launch your career, etc., etc. If you don't have this, then, like I said in an earlier post, you need a project that will knock our socks off, make us feel, make us want. It's a perfectly balanced see-saw, it's one or the other. But when you have both sides of it, things can take off.
So, back to your low goal amount. I think you can reach your number. You simply have to keep communicating with everyone you know. Look to get on the boards with fellow comic creators, share your passion with people of like minds. I think your video is a bit all over the place, so your personal message and outreach will/should help you convey your position. Hope this helps.
