I'm on a disability pension, but I do what I can to put money into the householding! I was one of the first web designers in Australia - I had to tell people what the internet was before I could tell them what I did! Boy that makes me feel old! Now, of course, my web skills are way out of date.

I'm studying singing, hope to become a singing teacher as well as singing at concerts whenever I can.

And I sew - which brings me to my kickstart. My passion at the moment is sewing for children in 3rd world orphanages and I have a personal project to make 100 dresses, plus t shirts, plus shorts, plus blankets and tote bags. I need the money to post them - postage is the killer! Fortunately I only have to post within my own country and the charity takes care of it after that. I checked with kickstart before I started, because they don't allow charities, but because it's a project with an end product they allowed it! (Thanks kickstart!)

Hey,
First time on this forum. Glad to be part of this community.
I'm Charlotte and I'm working on my first Kickstarter Campaign .
With my partner Raphael, we're making the cocktail revolution. The B4rm4n project is still in development and our Kickstarter campaign is scheduled in late September 2014.
It's a connected shaker : now you'll be the cocktail superhero!

And It's my day job! We are working on this project for nine months.
Before we had a mobile development company (iOS Apps). And My partner is also my husband

My passions: my work (It's so awesome to develop its own projects),
homemade preparations -> drink (specially cocktails) and -> food.
I am also very interested in Internet of Things.
(You've probably noticed that I was French: sorry my english is not perfect)

Day Job:
I'm an IT developer that builds some snazzy stuff for various clients. I actually enjoy my job and am lucky to be employed, but my dream is to make my passion project a reality.

Passion Project:
I have been dreaming and working hard for over a year to start up a small nano-brewery. My wife and I are self-funding and are doing our best to start up our brewery w/o investors. Any help or guidance you folks can provide would be most appreciated.

In fact, our Kickstarter project just went live and we'd love any help you can provide:

Hi,

Just taking time to introduce myself to the forum.

I am Andy Sinclair and my day job is that of a Marketing Consultant. One of my current projects is The People's Orchestra, a community orchestra of 60+ musicians based in the UK. We started from scratch in 2012 with 1 player and no funds!

The orchestra has just got the agreement of a Grammy award winning film composer to compose a new piece of music for us - and we are looking at a Kickstarter project starting in September to fund the composition.

I have found Sal's site to be very informative and as a thank you will contribute, as best as possible, to the forum. I will start a blog on here (once I have reached 3 posts) to update members on progress and the marketing strategy that I intend to use,

Cheers,

Andy

What is your day job?
I make 90% of my living typing out transcripts for private/corporate clients in Toronto. I have a steady client base, but it can get a bit mind-numbing.

What is your passion project?
I am a novelist at heart, and I will set up a Kickstarter to self-publish my first novel, that campaign is set to run in September. In the meantime, I have a lot of fun interviewing musicians for Auxiliary Magazine.

My day job is teaching English in China. I've been teaching abroad for the past 5 years, in different locations. I take a lot of joy in being able to share my experiences with others.
My passion, though, is being on the other end - learning. I love learning. My favorite subjects are history and sciences. I just posted a kickstarter to help fund an intense research/writing project I want to begin. Wish me luck, from what I'm reading, it may be a difficult 30 days.
