    23% since launch 3 days ago. Are your first days so hectic?

    by Ilias K » Sat Apr 25, 2015 1:16 pm

    Hi All,

    Launched 3 days ago and thought that after all the ward work preparing the campaign, the first days after launch would be more relaxed and would get some sleeptime! Apparently that was not a very clever thought!

    The first days are far more hectic than any other day before launching! Constantly writing emails and press releases, talking and meeting with local press and all that in 3 days. Apparently the most important thing is the promotion of your product to media in order to get the necessary exposure. And of course the wait between previous and next is the most exhausting thing of all ! Although the feeling when you get a new backer is enough to keep you going!

    On top of everything, our campaign is from Athens, Greece so considering the time difference with the US- New york is 7 hours behind Athens- We get even less sleep than before launch!

    I would really like to know about other creator experiences regarding how they managed to keep up with all that!

    Would also be happy if you checked our project called Stikey-A Magnetic Portable Stand & Cable Tidy on your keys

    Cheers

    It's great news that you are so busy and I would definitely take advantage of the momentum so that you can increase those numbers. Congrats!

    You should consider yourself lucky to be so busy. I spent a ton of time accomplishing nothing the first few days...

    I've just been trucking on. I keep looking for more ways to get the word out. We've only had maybe 400 views on our kstart kck.st/1GmKgvD

    We have quite a few things against us though. The project is for a niche within a niche. If we don't reach 25% by Friday I'll probably have to cancel the project.

    It's a great and simple product, I can see why you're so busy. Affordable and the backer gets great value from their pledge! I wish we were dealing with being so busy taking pledged rather than trying to get the word out!

    Thanks for your nice word! From my experience until now, you need somehow to create constant flow of backers, we are struggling at the moment. Of course the most important thing is to get media interested in your project! What's your project? Id love to check it out!
