    Product is the key, marketing is the most important.

    I failed my first project but am planning on relaunching. These are some of the lessons I learned.
    Tip 1- Focus all o your attention on hitting your funding goal early. Then you can relax for the rest of the campaign.
    Tip 2- Make sure to establish stretch goals in order to keep up momentum of the project even after the funding goal is met.
    Tip 3- Plan out your pre-launch and take that time to build a strong email list.

    I am working on a poetry book called Red Robins Sing in the Winter. It spans across the four seasons and carries the overarching theme of perseverance. There are drawings to accompany some of the poems and each season will have its own art style.

    Hi all,

    We are Mogi, a team of young italian guys who are trying to make something unique in the world of fashion accessories.
    Here it is our creation: Taska wallet.

    After a couple of unsuccessful campaigns, we launched some days ago for the third time a new kickstarter campaign for our italian vegan wallet named Taska.

    Between the previous failed campaign and this one, we spent a lot of time in retrospect about what went wrong in the previous campaign, and it has been 1 year since the last failed campaign.

    The unsucessfull factors were many... but primaly the pre-campign and low amount of subscribers collected before launching the campaigns.

    From Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns, I’ve learned a lot, especially in terms of project promotion and interacting with backers. Here are some key takeaways:

    The Importance of Storytelling: A successful crowdfunding project usually has a compelling story that helps people understand the purpose behind the project and creates an emotional connection.

    Transparency and Sincerity: Maintaining transparency, providing regular updates, and sincerely addressing backers' questions are crucial for building trust.

    Impact of Visuals and Design: High-quality images, videos, and layouts significantly enhance a project’s appeal, especially when conveying the value of a product or idea.

    The Power of Community: Promoting the campaign through social media and existing communities can effectively expand its reach and attract more like-minded supporters.

    Planning and Execution: From setting a target amount and designing reward mechanisms to fulfilling promises post-campaign, every step requires careful planning to ensure the campaign runs smoothly.
