The annoyance of an inbox full of spammy messages after launching a project. In fairness, do they work? Do you believe they claims? I’d prefer to put my own time into reaching out to the 1,000 or so Twitter, Facebook and Instagram ‘followers’ than freely hand some ‘entrepreneur’ a hefty chunk of hard earned cash for spammy, sporadic posts into the ether.
Anyway, rant over... Ryan West did contact me. Offered the same/similar package. Did however lodge $5 to my campaign (my first btw, thanks Ryan), and in doing so would give the unsuspecting crowdfunder ‘incentive’ to pick up on one of his claims, and engage his services.
I do trust people, but in reality if an unsolicited email comes through your mailbox and you haven’t reached out to someone for advice, why would you or I want to take that as a guaranteed way to get results?
If you were to leave a message here saying hello to everyone, and striking up a conversation and mentioning the link to your project you would probably generate genuine interest.
Here comes the shameless plug:

While Ninja and all the others are very slick and pretty they can’t get you what you need. And that is faith and believe and support from others that your project is going to make it.
That’s my tuppence worth.
