    Kickstarter Deal? Backerclub? Do backers really go there?

    by Chao33 » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:04 am

    I've been seeing a lot of those two sites' logos on KS project pages lately (for example, here)

    To me, KickstarterDeal.com looks legit. It provides information on earlybird offers by popular projects without asking you to sign up or give them anything. And backerclub.co requires your KS profile link and number of projects you have backed to see the information they provide. (reasonable action to secure member quality. but 50 projects seems too many to me...)

    I'm curious what kind of information does backerclub offer? Do people actually go there to find what to back? (I'm not qualified to see the contents yet :? ) And how about KickstarterDeal? Do people really go there, and are earlybird offers that attractive to backers?

    What do you think? :?:

    Although I wonder if those sites are spams, I've already subscribed with both services anyway.

    Just curious about how backerclub work in actual, I'm not a heavy backer which backs over 50 projecs so I can't see what deals does the club offer. However, it sends me mails about their newewst featured projects everyday, not a bad way to subscribe, but it seems no apparent difference with the official newsletter. So, can anyone (the heavy backers) tell me what it offers to backers?

    Kickstarterdeal is a little different ... it shows the most popular earlybird deals before they are sold out, so everyone on this site can get info about the newest kickstarter discounts.

    I've never created a project on KS, so I'm not sure how those two provide campaign solutions. but as a casual backer, I think KSdeal is more suitable for me.

    Thanks for sharing!

    as it turned out, I contacted their staff and I'd say it was great experience.

    We’re thinking of using BackerClub for our New Wallet Kickstarter campaign which launched on Tues.http://kck.st/1OhxFAL , I can't tell from these comments if there is any real value on it? Was it worth it?

    Thanks,

    We’re also thinking of using Backer Hub so if that has value, we'd like to know if it was helpful!

    Thanks!

    I'm one of the co-founders of BackerClub so thought I'd provide some helpful info about the site.

    The Club is made up of members who have supported 50+ crowdfunding projects. There is a listing fee for being a part of the Club, but there is also a money-back guarantee that you'll come out ahead. The average project gets a 500% ROI on their investment. :D

    Here are some stats about BackerClub that might be interesting:
    Members: 2,600
    Number of projects the average member has supported: 125
    Projects featured: 765
    Average increase in pledges a project receives from the Club: $1,636
    Number of pledges members have made on BackerClub projects: 23,254
    Dollars pledges by members on BackerClub projects: $504,293
    Average BackerClub member pledge amount: $81
    Project with most contributions from BackerClub (Space Case 1): $19,397
    Project with most members supporting (Clingies): 328

    Here is a running list of all the projects that have used BackerClub since the site's launch: http://www.backerclub.co/alumni.php

    You can see some more stats and submit your project here: http://backerclub.co/project-submit.php

    Also, I'd be happy to answer any specific questions anyone had.

    Have run one campaign with Backerclub and had a great result!

    Sadly, our current project for https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/po ... in-in-pods
    wasn't accepted.

    Backersclub I have heard does get excellent results from their community and offers a money back guarantee if they do not perform. Another tool Ive been seeing pop up is called Kickbooster it looks like it allows you to run a referral program during your campaign.

    I posted my project there and made a quick look inside on the projects.
    The most popular project as we talk now, got around 16k$ from the backerclub.
    And on the position 10,to be the most popular has around 3k$.
    I don't expect much from it at this moment. If I'm wrong I will post a Reply, otherwise Confirm me sayings.
