Well,
Not sure how much I've learned yet, my kickstarter launched on March 31st 2023, it's still running until april 30th. I was able to get it funded in less than 2 hours so I guess it was a success. I've reached three stretch goals so far.
I guess the biggest thing for me that led to my success was a marketing campaign on twitter, facebook, and instagram. I created a card game to feature my paintings, and the card game goes along with my novel. So I had a small group of warm market already built in as clients before I launched the card game.
I spent 30 days in advance of the kickstarter getting my warm market hyped for it, and then created some really amazing pledge levels. I sent out over a hundred personal messages on facebook-messenger, created a bunch of videos and facebook lives. Copied most of my marketing onto my instagram, and posted a few things on twitter(this was the least helpful).
Right now what I'm looking for is what suggestions others have for reaching new people in order to reach new stretch goals?
