Full thread is here: http://crowdfundingforum.com/showthread ... ve-Updates
Some of the DOs they recommended:
- boostyourcrowdfundingcampaign.com/services/
40billion.com -$10 they'll send out 1 tweet for you to their network (you can buy more as an option)
thegadgetflow.com/submit/ - We went for their 3rd package $280 and it was worth every penny.
PRLOG.com - free news circulating service
One mention from DudeIWantThat.com - and we're getting picked up by National Geographic winter shows and all kinds of media attention with pledges pouring in.
Targeted blogs and niche websites with a good following are definitely better than spread fire news aggregates. It takes a lot more time, sending samples, research, communicating, but in the end it pays off.
